Neil Portnow Accuser Asks Judge to Dismiss Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Former Grammy CEO
The Jane Doe plaintiff who accused former Grammys CEO Neil Portnow of rape in a 2023 lawsuit has asked the judge to dismiss the case.
The accuser’s allegations against Portnow first surfaced in January 2020 as part of his successor Deborah Dugan’s discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after she was ousted just over a week before the 62nd Grammy Awards. However, the lawsuit was moved from a New York state court to a federal one, where Portnow’s legal team requested that the Jane Doe accuser be publicly identified, citing previous cases involving Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. Dismissing the case would alleviate this fear and allow me to move forward without unnecessary risks,” Jane Doe wrote in a letter to the judge obtained by Rolling Stone.
