It will be interesting to see if the text messages will shed light on the conversations between them about the job. Did he recommend she interview?

Did they make any inappropriate comments about the other applicants? Ugh….what a HR nightmare.

They exchanged 4,300 texts…so she texted him roughly 2,150 times. Those records were released on Wednesday, and so it’s no surprise that after seeing those Arkansas suspended her. Texting him back that many times shows consent on her part, and hurts her case.

Besides, couldn’t he, since the affair lasted before her employment, sue her for blackmail? He could claim that she threatened to make their affair public and bring him down if he didn’t hire her. That case is just as strong as her’s, if not stronger.
