Anthony Asadullah Samad
*Columnist Anthony Asadullah Samad finds himself in a bit of a pickle.
Samad has been named in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him and the 100 Black Men of Los Angeles.
A previous claim against him and the 100 Black Men was filed in 2008. In that case, the plaintiff won her case.
On Thursday, a coalition of Los Angeles based “African American leaders” is planning a press conference in Liemert Park to detail the charges.
A notice sent to EUR and other outlets, says the current lawsuit was filed by an “African American woman who was under Samad’s direct supervision.”

If this is true,this dude is a fraud.
Should have been fired the first time he lost.
He needs to go away and get help and then apologize to these women.
But he should never be put in charge of a woman and probably shouldnt be mentoring any young men.
100 Black men should clean house or close down,their conduct against the second woman was scandalous ,again if thee allegations are true. Wouldnt want them mentoring anybody.
He seemingly has no respect for women and that’s a major problem.Hopefully eurweb will can him,even if they weren’t paying him.
EUR, are YOU saying he should be suspended “until this matter is decided in court?”
