Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Ass Groping

Posted May 6th 2008 5:15PM by TMZ Staff

A little song, a little dance, a little drizzle down your pants. That kinda sums up a blistering lawsuit filed by a former Weather Channel anchor against her colleague.
Hillary Andrews claims Bob Stokes tormented her with crude, sexual come-ons, including once allegedly asking her, "Will you lick my swizzle stick?" Andrews also claims Stokes followed her into the women's dressing room, quizzed her about her sexual relationships, and pleaded with her to say she found him attractive. Oh yeah, and then there's this... Stokes allegedly told her, "It tortures me when you wear those heels and skirt."

Andrews took legal action against The Weather Channel, claiming it retaliated against her after she complained and then refused to take action against Stokes. Both since have been fired.

Thesmokinggun.com obtained a lawsuit filed by Andrews against Stokes. That case is pending. Our forecast....he's screwed.

4. This is really funny. I saw them on the weather channel not to long ago. I wonder if he asked her to "see her Twisters".

6. This is so ridiculous. A grown woman who can't get a man to back off, at work? Tell him if he doesn't stop, you are going to start saying you did the deed, and he's got the smallest one who've ever seen. You have to get his respect to get him to back off, and playing dirty usually works with men. If he gets his back up, get a HUGE boyfriend to bring you to work, who 'knows' you did the nasty. HAHAHA Sit back and watch his head explode. If he has a wife, just tape his advances, and offer to send them to this wife. No muss. No fuss.

10. My best story of sexual harassment. The interviewer (my boss's boss) hired 7 people. One was a pretty girl. All 7 reported directly to me. The big boss kept asking me all kinds of inappropriate questions about the pretty woman. Finally I asked her, what is going on?

Turns out in the interview process, she promised to f*** him if he gave her the job. After she got the job she reneged, and told him she already had the job now, and if he fired her, she'd sue. He was such a jerk. And she was a great hire. She outsmarted the senior vice president.

11. Why did they both get fired?

12. Village ~ Both of your post are spot on!!! There is NO reason for there to be ANY sexual harrasment in the workforce. If it starts ladies.........................nip it in the bud!! Literally!

13. I'l bet she has nice nips on those buds. Just Kidding. I really think she could have handled this herself. A awift kick in the nuts is all it would have taken.

14. Sounds like they had a 'stormy relationship'

15. Hillary Andrews was fired after she started legal proceedings against TWC. Stokes wasn't fired until TWC lost in those legal proceedings.

In other words, Weather Channel management chose to protect a known sexual harasser by punishing (with overnight shifts and such) or firing anyone that complained, but did nothing about the harasser himself until they lost a case in court.

In even simpler words, TWC management condoned the behavior of Bob Stokes and punished anyone that commented.

By the way, another employee has also filed suit for sexual discrimination in hiring and promotion. Sounds like TWC is still using a 1952 employee manual.
