One of the two women accusing GOP frontrunner Herman Cain of sexual harassment 19 years ago was paid $34,000 — the equivalent of one year’s salary — in a severance pay settlement, according to the New York Times.
The 2nd female accuser reportedly received 2 to 3 months severance pay in a settlement with the National Restaurant Association in 1992.
Last night, the woman’s attorney, Joel P. Bennett, told Anderson Cooper that his unidentified accuser plans to petition the restaurant association to rescind the portion of her agreement pertaining to confidentiality. Bennett, a Washington lawyer, who has not met with his client in years, said the woman wishes to come forward to tell her story now that Cain is making her out to be a liar.
Bennett also indicated that the source who leaked the story to Politico.com was involved in some capacity with the National Restaurant Association which settled with the two female employees who complained about sexually inappropriate behaviour while working for Mr Cain.
To understand why the restaurant trade group settled with the two accusers, it is important to note the political climate of the times in the 1990s. Claims of sexual harassment in the workplace skyrocketed in the 1990s once the national media turned a spotlight on the phenomenon.
6100 sexual harassment cases were filed in 1990 alone. Most of those cases were settled out of court — and almost all of the cases filed involved Caucasian women.
But it is not all bad news for Mr. Cain: the media frenzy has resulted in a boost to his campaign coffers. According to the Daily Mail, around $250,000 in campaign donations has poured in since the story broke on Sunday.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Mr. Cain announced that his wife of 43 years, Gloria Cain — who prefers to remain out of the spotlight — will soon take part in an interview with him.
“It’s not her style for her to be with me on every campaign stop,” said the Republican presidential candidate. “My wife represents that calm and tranquillity that I look forward to seeing when I get home”
So now that he’s running for the primary she wants to rescind the confidentiality agreement?!? I’m not even a fan of Cain but she needs to have a seat
and almost all of the cases filed involved Caucasian women.
Sandra :stop: trying to defend this man. If this was Obama you would be trying to rip him to shreds and say this was proof that he did it.

so Sandra is a Republican, eh? figures.
Another one bites the dust
#TeamObama
One thing I will say about you Sandra is you are definitely loyal
I’m thinking she wants to speak out because the info is out there now and without speaking any further revelations about it would simply be from his point of view. I kinda have to lean towards the women on this one and btw Sandra just because cases were being filed like crazy doesn’t mean they were fraudulent or petty cases

I don’t know whats up with Auntie and these damn Repubs. Both parties are full of shyt but its disturbing to know that she is on the Republican bandwagon and they are telling the middle class phuck u and deal with it. At least the Dems. are acting like they care

He would have had to pay me more than 34k. Obama could get it for free though.

In 1990 34k was like 47k but that still isn’t enough
I slept with Cain, Last year
@Yso that was probably before taxes so it was less than that
Has anyone read the story about the parents who were arrested at Safeway after forgetting to pay for two sandwiches that they had eaten while shopping?

i’ve forgotten to pay for a donut, glad i ain’t get arrested
@LaTechGrad02
What EXACTLY was they Charged With & How Much did the sandwiches COST ?!!?
@Creamy
“My wife represents that calm and tranquillity that I look forward to seeing when I get home”—–Probably beats the sht out of her.
so for 34k I KNOW i could get some top shelf Puzzay…. #justsaying
does that mean my mom can get arrested for eating the grapes out the bag?
I mean, can you imagine Cain “doing his business”? :stop:

We have to see if they are sweet

Thats a taste test Kingston
This is about white women. That is why Herb Cain does not want this released. White people may like their black people friendly and easy to get along with, but when it comes to willy-nilly touching the T & A of white women, all of the smiling goes right out the door.
@Candi gravi
They were charged with fourth-degree theft. Safeway decided to drop the charges yesterday after people started complaining. The sandwiches were $5.
@Kingstonn, lol, my aunt would’ve been under the jail for all of the cherries, grapes, and Brach’s candy that she’s eaten over the years.
@Yso
for putting that image in my head
19YRS AGO THO..
SHE WAITED FOR HIM TO STACK UP… 
@ ty
reee-dic-ulous.
that’s what i’m saying! i mean, sometimes i open up the Gain or Tide and sniff it to see if that’s the smell i want in the store.. is that an offense too?
@Elove (sup btw)
I heard the sammiches were $5 a piece. They were in Hawaii. She was preggars and had walked to the store and was famished and hungry. They bought $50 (in foodstamps – j/k) worth of grocers and forgot to pay for the sammiches. Their child was taken by CPS (she was coloring in a cold room with a cover over her shoulders like they do in the 1st 48) and they were arrested. Bail was $50 a piece (they had just spent that in grocers).
#seehoweverythingcomesfullcircle
@ la tech
brach’s candy! omfg… they still make those?!
i took an extra limon at the grocerie store yesterday **12 for a dolla ant got 13**
IM NOT READY FOR DIABLA!! 
arrested for the 2 sandwiches. hell naw, that’s funny. so a pizza CEO can skip all political seats and go for the gusto. just play along point, just play along. Clearly he’s not going to become President.
I agree; one years salary to STHU aint gone cut it. But still, sideye at her for wanting to come back and tell her story. That means she’s been offered all kinda ish to help mud slang.
@LAKERS
My kids has enjoyed a bag of chips before while I grocery shopped!!!
@Kingstonn, yes ma’am!
thanks zoe :wave:
it technically is theft, but most grocery stores wouldn’t go thru the hassle of having someone arrested for something small like that
now if they were trying to walk out with a rack of ribs and a whole basket of groceries like the crackheads do here that’s a different story
@PRYN
Damn. So am I risking jail anytime I open a pack of cookie/crackers for my little one to keep him quiet while I shop?
@pryn
SUP Baby… I GUESS Hawaii is creating MORE WAYS to arrest people Since the “LOST” cast been Gone HUH
i’d be right there beside u with diabla cause i know i was gettin my eat on with one of those twisty glazed donuts. shyt was the bomb!
@yso only if u don’t pay for them. i think a lot of ppl eat in the grocery store, its the not paying for what was eaten part
lawd pls forgive me for that donut, eventho it was delicious
@LAKER
I spoke to you in the other post. Are you feeling better? :hugs:
CANDI!!
Well, I always pay otherwise my privileges for the Innocent Corner might get revoked.
(cuts several inches off your hair in a fit of jealousy)
@candi well u go in first diabla still aint wortha fukn limon…
nope not sick the doctor gave me some nausia pills that have kept the other meds down 
thanks for checking on me 
@ace
I was watching this on the today show this morning, and they basically said that he paid her close to $40K – which was a years salary AND she had to sign a confidentiality agreement – which of course, as Sandra indicated, the accuser is planning to seek to break it…BUT they indicated that Cain is the 1st one to break the confidentiality agreement by indicating to the media that the reason the accuser was let go was because her work was not up to par!
CLARENCE THOMAS ALL THE WAY I TELL YA!
@yso
sooo much better i took two extra days off.. and let the meds work they majic
I hate it when MEN want to pull their wives into THEIR nonsense! Now she has to come out of her comfort zone to sit next to him during an interview about this situation…she probably just found out about it herself! ALSO a years pay is pretty substantial for a sexual harassment settlement…she probably got 6 months of benefits too. The other women who received 3 months salary was probably a witness and felt uncomfortable continuing to work there so they gave her a couple of $$$ to leave and NOT say anything. I believe CAIN thought this wasn’t going to come out because it was so long ago…BUT he forgot he is a BLACK MAN in America….this is just the beginning of this fiasco!
@BigCity
YEP YEP !!!
Clarence Thomas all over again.
If you’re a black Rebuplican running for public office, your closet better be cleaner than normal.
He’s an IDIOT and a bigger FOOL is he actually thinks he’ll ever get inside the White House. White folks got this fool fooled!!
Are they being serious! Who besides his wife would want affection from that guy! Can You imagine his sex faces. No Bueno! I smell publicity stunt.
I think #GUILTY when the wives began to speak on the topic.
he looks like the type..i said that from jump street before the allegations.he looks like a old sneaky pervert.
Something is very fishy about Cain. Every interview he does completely contradicts what he’s said in the previous interview. I don’t know whether he’s a pervert or not but he seems extremely untruthful.
