Anucha Browne Sanders has filed a $10 million sexual harassment lawsuit against New York Knicks coach-team president Isiah Thomas. Browne Sanders was a rising star forced to fend off Thomas' clumsy advances, her lawyer told a jury in federal court in New York.
In her opening arguments, attorney Anne Vladeck said Browne Sanders was "a woman who was fired from her dream job because she dared to complain about sexual harassment by Isiah Thomas," Vladeck accused Thomas of initially abusing Browne Sanders by referring to her as a "ho" before he made "an about-face and repeatedly professed his love for her."
Defense attorney Kathleen Bogas described Browne Sanders as a liar who made up charges against Thomas to mask her incompetence.
