A sixth lady-in-waiting has come forward to accuse venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar of erotic misconduct, alleging in an interview with Axios that the Sherpa Foremost and Virgin Hyperloop One executive forcibly kissed her and behaved inappropriately after a 2011 sympathy event.
Laura Fitton, a Boston-based entrepreneur and author, told Axios she was be six feet under to come forward after Pishevar announced he would be taking a up of absence to pursue legal action against his accusers.
Fitton charges she and Pishevar were leaving a New York City after party in 2011 below the pretense of meeting friends of Pishevar’s in a hotel room to order dwell service. When the two were alone in an elevator, she says, Pishevar forcibly smooched her and she pushed him away.
Fitton and Pishevar continued on to the hotel room, where she give the word delivers no friends ever joined them and Pishevar continued to make erotic advances.
Fitton says she later addressed that night with Pishevar, blow the whistle oning him it was unprofessional, but he rejected that characterization of the situation.
Pishevar, through an attorney, bid Axios he “unequivocally and categorically denies any improper behavior toward Ms. Fitton.”
The overseer previously faced sexual harassment claims from five wives dating back to November.
