‘WILL YOU LICK MY SWIZZLE STICK?’
An ex-Weather Channel anchorwoman has won a sexual-harassment claim against her male co-anchor, whom she accused of repeatedly asking about her sex life and making such crude remarks as, “Will you lick my swizzle stick?” An arbitrator ruled on Jan. 31 that that Bob Stokes had subjected Hillary Andrews to “severe and pervasive” sexual harassment that was “extreme and offensive.”
In the suit, first reported by The Smoking Gun Web site, Andrews said Stokes began coming on to her soon after she was hired to be his co-anchor on a prime-time weekend show.
“Stokes began telling her he was attracted to her,” the suit said. “He told her that it had been a long time since he had been so attracted to someone. He repeatedly asked whether she was attracted to him. He repeatedly asked if she would go out with him. He made crude sexual remarks (e.g., ‘Will you lick my swizzle stick?’)”
We predict some bad forecasts for old Bob….Better get more than a swizzle stick….BUSTED!
