Former Avenue Capital employee in a legal fight with billionaire boss Marc Lasry claims she was offered $5 million to 'settle without an attorney'
Briefly

Billionaire Avenue Capital cofounder Marc Lasry offered Gina Strum a $5 million settlement amid allegations of sexual harassment and extortion. Strum, formerly a fundraiser, claims this was part of his effort to silence her.
Strum's legal team asserts that Lasry sought to settle without legal representation, demonstrating efforts to avoid public exposure of what they term "egregious abuse," evidenced by texts presented in her motion.
Lasry maintains that Strum's latest claims are simply a publicity stunt intended to further her malicious threats, emphasizing their stance to address these serious allegations through judicial channels instead of media.
In response to Strum's accusations, Lasry's lawsuit claims she is attempting to extort $50 million from Avenue Capital, further complicating the legal dynamics between them.
