This call was described by Kelly as an attempt by Cosgrave to undermine his credibility following a flawed investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against another director. Kelly expressed profound emotional distress, stating he felt like a 'broken man' due to Cosgrave's actions and characterized him negatively for fabricating claims.
