EX-SOURCE EDITOR OSORIO RELEASES TELL-ALL: Author tells of harassment in workplace; 'intimate relationships' with artists she covered.
*In her new tell-all memoir "Straight from the Source," Kim Osorio describes the sexual harassment she encountered as the first female editor of The Source magazine.
The book also details the historic court case that netted her a million dollar judgment and the music industry a legal precedent for gender discrimination, defamation and retaliation in the workplace.
A press release states: "From her corner office, Kim got the goods on hip-hop's hottest names: Jay-Z, Nas, 50 Cent, Lil' Kim and more. She developed close -- and sometimes intimate relationships with the artists she worked with.
"But behind the scenes; the magazine's volatile owners would puppeteer every issue. The Source even declared war on hip-hop's highest selling artist Eminem and began the notorious assault that would send the magazine into swift decline.
"After it all came to a head, Osorio was fired, but resurfaced in 2006, filing a sexual harassment, gender discrimination, defamation and retaliation lawsuit against the Source. She details the drama in this tell-all, and provides the context for a lawsuit that has shaken up the entire music industry."
