Isiah Thomas Found Guilty

Posted by Bossip Staff

New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas (who initially denied allegations back in ‘06) and Madison Square Garden were found guilty of sexual harrassment charges.

Via Foxsports.com:

A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also ruled he does not have to pay punitive damages.

The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and ruled that she is entitled to punitive damages from MSG.

Anucha Browne Sanders characterized Thomas as a foul-mouthed lout who initially berated her as a “bitch” and a “ho” before his anger gave way to ardor, with Thomas making unwanted advances and encouraging her to visit him “off site.”

The case, from its inception, proved a public relations disaster for the Knicks and the Garden, with intense coverage of the three-week trial focusing on its tawdriest aspects — star guard Stephon Marbury having sex with an intern outside a strip club, raunchy come-ons from a Marbury cousin to his Garden co-workers, Thomas’ videotaped remarks about the racial dynamics of calling a woman “a bitch.”

I just feel bad for Isiah’s wife. He better not be calling her a bitch. Maybe he is, we forgot he thinks black on black bitch calling is cool.

    I am not surprised at all by this verdict. It has nothing to do with whether or not I feel that Thomas is guilty or innocent but more on the way that he presented himself throuhgout the case. I was talking with my husband on Saturday and I told him that I believe that Isaiah Thomas as going to be found guilty because of his attitude towards the case. Evertime that man came out of court he had a big smile on his face, as if the entire proceeding was a joke and in return Amika was solemn faced and always said “no comment” when asked a question.

    Oh well that is how the cookie crumbles.

    Isiah Thomas should be fired. The knicks are still losers and he just cost his boss 11.6 million dollars in a mess that he created. MSG just caught a bad one today, not a good look. I gotta hand it to Mrs. Sanders also, going up against a big corporation like that and WINNING. damn girl!!

    I feel a “certain way” about this case, I experienced a situation like this before at a place of employment. I sent flowers to a HOT “redbone” (Black woman), she took my flowers and told our supervisor about the flowers, I almost got terminated from my position for “inappropriate behavior”–thank GOD I was an excellent Customer Service Rep.—I learned my lesson real quick–I do not “crack” on no women at the gig—I just solicit PROSTITUTES.

    Hallelujah, Praised to Jesus!!! Wipe that fucking smirk laugh off his fucking face. He took this as a joke that is more so why I believe he actually harassed her. Men will say, oh she’s not attractive, but does pussy have a face? Their has been many times when a women is sitting at the office doing her job and the comments why are you so serious, why do you have to be a tight ass bitch, do you ever relax? To hey, when are we ever going to go out, let me have a good morning hug, or kiss. To fuck that bitch fire her! Men often times if you don’t fuck them they will find a way to fuck a women over. He used and played her out and had the white guy fire her because she’s a problem. Tim Dolan must be sucking on Isaih black cock to not fire his ass. All the white guys they fire after a season or two but this one they keep sucking on his dick. The old white guy that kept cursing the knicks out when they kept losing they fired him, the guy that was winning championship he wasn’t able to take anymore he left but this dumb stupid darkie they keep. The knicks kept losing under his leadership and they still keep him is absolutely unbelievable. White man gave him a job and this is how he repays them, by having a losing team and getting sued with a smirk on his face. Now he needs to respectful to women and concentrate on the game. No forget that fire the fuck pay her and raise the gardens ticket to 200.00 per game to all the losers that pay to watch the game.

    FYI. Lynn Thomas, Isiah Thomas’ wife stated, through their son, that she fully supported Isiah and didn’t support the allegations against him. It was stated that she felt he was not guilty and she didn’t believe he was guilty of any of the charges. Can you say somebody is living too good off her husband’s money. WHAT A DEAD HEAD.

    I was just listening to Wendy Williams and she and Charlamagne said well she’s going to need the money now because no-one is going to hire her now because who want’s to hire that trouble maker. What an ass hole comment. Everyday women are harass and no-one believes them and they are labeled trouble makers but the white women who sued a major banking firm in wall street a couple years back are they trouble makers to someone else. Why can’t women go to work with a peace of mind and not be sexually harassed they already earn less than men to the dollar how much more do they have to be disrespected?

    I don’t believe he sexually harrassed Anucha Browne Sanders. One, she looks like a man (broad shoulders and all). Two, she would make an ugly man at that. I can see him calling her a B*tch. But, sexual harassment? no.

  61. @Moorish Queen, from a legal standpoint, calling someone a ‘bitch’ (or any other name that would be derogatory to females) at the worksite qualifies as sexual harassment.

  63. Hooray for Anucha!!!! Isaiah’s handlers should have advised him better on how to handle the court situation and his take on calling women “bitches”… whether they’re black or white… or any other ethnicity or race.

    Asshole!!!


  64. MSG is going to appeal the decision but never-the-less I applaud Anucha Browne-Sanders for taking this matter serious and not ignoring the situation… like so many women have. She may not ever see a dime of her award but she is still victorious and I believe that she will go on to bigger and better things.

    (Check me out!)

    Isaiah Thomas couldn’t be any more stupid. You can’t say in a court that its OK for black people to call ‘bitch’ or ‘ho ‘to a woman.

    What was his lawyer thinking?

    Anyway, American justice system is a joke. Everybody knows that. (Jena 6 case, Genarlow Wilson case, OJ case…)

    This bitch just wanted money and now she is rich.

    In any other country she would never have gotten that ridiculous sum of money.

    Moral damages? 11 Million dollars? Are you kidding?


  67. And another thing… maybe this will teach some of these atletes (millionaires) who have become so jaded with their money that they insist on doing dumb-shit to others (and animals) thinking that they are above the law and can buy their way out of any situation.

    Get it togethers guys take steps to advance your culture and bring up your communities and your people so that your loot won’t be taken away… like O.J, Mike Vick, and now Isaisha via MSG!!!


  68. And he would be HoT if he witnessed his mother, wife or daughter called any disparaging names. I don’t think that he would think that it’s okay because she is a black women.

    Hell Naw!!!

    Isiah & MSG will probably deal with more woman coming out of the woodwork. Certain, not all men(professional athletes, rich Men) get used to having all of their needs met and having people cater to them, when someone tells them no, It can turn ugly. I truly think this is what happened here. He made an off the cuff remark, saw that she wnst having it, but he cldnt stop himself.
    Now lets just say his beautiful daughter came home and said “Daddy, every day at school this guy keeps calling me a B*** h and keeps trying to kiss me.” What actions would Isiah take then!

    I DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR HIS WIFE. SHE WAS THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO MARRY AN IGNORANT MAN.

    THE FACT ALONE THAT HE WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO HAVE THE VIEW THAT AND EVEN WORSE MORE OPEN HIS MANDIBLE TO IMPLY THAT IT IS LESS OFFENSIVE FOR A BM THAN WM TO CALL A BW A BITCH IS REASON ENOUGH FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS SILLY ASS DEALT WITH.

    After reading the comments of some black women and most black men on this site, I have come to the conclusion that most of you african americans are mere degenerates! The fact alone that majority of you bm think it’s okay to sexually harrass a woman, especially if she is black, is just so disgusting. I have heard you Af-american women moan about the lack of respect your men give you. Frankly, you lot deserve it. And yet you’ll moan about sexist, racist white men. You have no right to expect them to treat you any better than you are allowing your useless black men to treat you. And for those of you wondering, I am a 20 year old Nigerian girl. You lot are just so below me!
