Ellen Pao never claimed sexual harassment. She claimed workplace discrimination because of her gender. Being discriminated against after breaking off an affair is common. Think of how much most people like their exs. However, according to my lawyer friend, Pao had zero chance of legal victory.

>Ellen Pao never claimed sexual harassment

From her court documents:

"Plaintiff experienced continuing retaliation after she complained about sexual harrasment to the highest level of management at KPCB".

(in addition to discrimination at work because of her gender).
