In an uncomfortable twist of fate, Mike Denitto, who was recently fired in disgrace for a string of sexual assaults, ran into a former coworker on the subway this morning. The crazy part? Denitto actually believed he was still able to save face by telling her that he “chose to leave” his old job.
Wow, this guy really has no idea that women talk about things!
Not only did Denitto believe Katie hadn’t noticed that the office creep was no longer there—he apparently thought Katie hadn’t heard every last detail of the sexual assault allegations made against her former co-worker. Unbelievable!
But it didn’t stop there: Denitto proceeded to weave a narrative in which he, the creative, artistic charmer, actually chose to leave his job.
“It had been a long time coming,” said Denitto, an erstwhile copy editor at a mid-level advertising agency, as if women just kind of choose not to talk to each other about things that could affect them.
And in fact, it had – over a half-dozen varied allegations of sexual harassment, from groping co-workers at parties to repeatedly texting female subordinates at 1am, were filed against Denitto. But this 28-year-old white guy wasn’t going down without a fight—not when there was a narrative to spin in his favor!
“I just want time to work on some creative projects I’ve been stewing on. Totally, 100%, my choice,” the sexual predator apparently told Katie of what was, as if human resources hadn’t conducted over a dozen on-the-record interviews corroborating his misconduct.
“I know this sucks to hear, since you still work there—but I’m SO glad I’m free of that place,” Denitto, who had shelled out $8K for a team of lawyers to fight tooth-and-nail to preserve his employment, reportedly said, as if she was fucking stupid.
“It was just my time to go,” he added. “But I’m doing great! We should totally hang out soon.”
Keep spinning that narrative, dude!
