Joe Gatto Faces Second Sexual Harassment Allegation
After vehemently denying a TikTok user’s accusation of sexual assault, 48-year-old podcaster Joe Gatto is now facing a second allegation of sexual harassment from a former employee.
In an interview with People, the second accuser, who first met Gatto at one of his live shows when she was 15, revealed that one of Gatto’s former employees had warned her about his flirtatious and inappropriate behavior.
Upon turning 18, Gatto’s behavior allegedly took a turn as he began making advances towards her. The accuser claimed that Gatto would frequently touch her inappropriately, ask for massages, and inquire about her sex life. He also allegedly invited her to his room and requested to cuddle with her.
Additionally, the accuser stated that Gatto would often boast about his open relationship with his wife, Bessy. She also mentioned that Gatto would interact with her social media posts and display jealousy when she shared photos of her boyfriend.
When she rebuffed his advances, Gatto reportedly became hostile towards her at work.
The accuser recounted an incident in which Gatto allegedly grabbed her upper thigh in a hotel elevator and confessed that he knew he would make her uncomfortable during their time together. She also mentioned Gatto’s jokes about bringing girls to the office, which she found reminiscent of the TikToker’s allegations against him.
