On Monday, May 21, Ms. Sargent published a series of defamatory tweets falsely suggesting that Mr. MeGrory had engaged in workplace sexual harass- ‘ment, Last evening, Ms, Sargent issued a statement to WGBH, which she also tweeted, reinforcing the same false implication Ms, Sargent’ tweets and statements failed to inform her readers of a numberof eitcal facts. In particular, she failed to disclose that: She and Mr. MeGrory dated many years ago—when Ms. Sargent did not work atthe Globe, ‘From early 2014 to February 11,2016, when Ms. Sargent worked at baston.com, Mr. MeGrory «did not supervise her, directly or indirectly. baston.com had a separate editor, reporting directly tthe front office ‘+ Ms. Sargent and Mr. MeGrory continued tobe in contact after she left boston.com. During that period, Ms. Sargent and Mr. MeGrory would sometimes exchange text messages that in- cluded the kind of personal banter of two people very familiar with each other. “These material omissions resulted in statements that falsely cast Mr, MoGrory aa person who used his position to sexually harass Ms, Sargent, and falsely portrayed him as part ofthat group of | ‘men who have, in fact, used their positions to sexually harass or assault women. Ms. Sargent’s false and defamatory statements are and continue to be actionable, and they have already caused hharm to Me.
