I have never seen an institution be reduced to rubble so quickly before. And it appears there is no end in sight.

I'm trying my best to be impartial but this is reaching Cat 4 status. Just sitting in the Gulf sucking up warm water.

I guess the only update here is the dollar amount.

I didn't see a time for tomorrow's press conference yet.

ETA: Per Lester Duhe, presser is at 11 am Central tomorrow.

They name dropped Agent XXX (Lesticles).

Read the full statement from Lewis' attorneys below.

Associate Athletic Director Sharon Lewis, a 20-year veteran at Louisiana State University and one of the most successful on-campus recruiters in the country, on Wednesday, April 7, 2021, will file a Title IX Retaliation and Civil Rico action against LSU Board Of Supervisors; the University’s Law Firm, Taylor Porter; former Head Football Coach Les Miles and other LSU dignitaries in Federal Court in Baton Rouge. Additional claims will be filed in East Baton Rouge Parish State Court and with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission next week.

Attorneys Larry English, Bridgett Brown and Tammye Brown represent Ms. Lewis.

Attorney Tammye Brown stated: “Members of the LSU Board of Supervisors, LSU Athletic Department, LSU Leadership and their law firm, Taylor Porter entered into a conspiracy to hide Les Miles’ sexual harassment investigation from federal officials and the public and to retaliate against Ms. Lewis. Over the last eight (8) years, Ms. Lewis has stood up to to protect LSU female student workers and as a result has suffered unimaginable retaliation sanctioned by the LSU Board of Supervisors.”

A memorandum, written by Taylor Porter on May 15, 2013, documents LSU and Taylor Porter entering into a conspiracy to cover up Les Miles’ sexual harassment and Title IX investigations in violation of Federal and State Civil Rico Statutes. The Husch Blackwell Report (the Husch Report) documented how LSU orchestrated a retaliation against Ms Lewis, including the mental breakdown and ongoing mental trauma she suffered as a result. Once LSU could not hush Ms Lewis, they laid the groundwork for perpetual retaliation and hostility to render her embarrassed, isolated and invisible.

But according to Attorney Bridgett Brown, the Husch Report is just the tip of the iceberg of Ms. Lewis’ nearly decade-long suffering for doing her job to protect the girls of LSU.

Attorney Bridgett Brown stated: “Sharon Lewis is a hero who stood up to protect the daughters of our state from a sexual predator, whom Taylor Porter referenced as XXX (Triple X) to hide his identity in its 2013 sexual harassment investigation.”

Attorney Bridgett Brown continued: “At trial we intend to prove LSU acted more like a crime syndicate than the flagship university of our state when it intentionally set out to destroy the professional career of one of the most successful black women in NCAA sports.”

The attorneys will hold a press conference on the steps of the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge.

In his defense, it's really hard to keep all of your scandals straight. It's a full time job.

It's not like you're going to do it. You're the deflection guy.

In another incident, Miles went to her office and told Lewis her recruiting staff had “too many fat girls, Black girls, and ugly girls,” and they “look like a bowling team,” Lewis told USA TODAY.
