Whitney Sharpe was in a Zoom meeting with potential clients last week when she noticed the chat flooding with messages about her looks. As Sharpe spoke to BuzzFeed News, she noted that she didn’t want to share most of the comments, but at one point was labeled a “f*cking bombshell” by one of the potential clients.
Sharpe began recording herself in the midst of the call, and as she wrapped up, she said to the men, “First of all, if we’re going to continue working together, I want to work with a woman sales representative because I don’t want to have to see locker room talk about myself when you’re sharing screens.” The men sheepishly apologized afterwards.
Sharpe went into detail about her experiences with sexual harassment in the workplace here.
