In a text message included in the legal complaint, Choo told the unnamed complainant that it was &#8220;never worth it&#8221; to report sexual harassment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"posts-content__category-widget md:hidden -ml-4 -mr-4 my-8 px-4 py-6 bg-gray-100\">\n<h4 class=\"mt-0 text-red-600 font-medium font-sans uppercase\">Recent Stories in Culture<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"list-none p-0\">\n<li class><a class=\"text-black block mb-3 pb-3 border-b border-white\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/culture\/times-up-leader-ignored-sexual-assault-allegation-against-star-doctor-lawsuit-says\/\"><strong>Time&#8217;s Up Leader Ignored Sexual Assault Allegation Against Star Doctor, Lawsuit Says<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li class><a class=\"text-black block mb-3 pb-3 border-b border-white\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/culture\/review-liftoff\/\"><strong>Failure Is an Option<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li class><a class=\"text-black block mb-3 pb-3 border-b border-white\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/culture\/amazon-pulls-bestseller-on-transgender-issues-from-store-without-explanation\/\"><strong>Amazon Pulls Bestseller on Transgender Issues From Store Without Explanation<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Choo continued to interact positively with Campbell after she was notified of the assault in early 2020. In June, Choo posted a picture of them together at a protest and helped promote his dance videos; and then in October, she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/choo_ek\/status\/1311859364840439808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">referred<\/a> to him as one of her &#8220;friends with big followings and hearts.&#8221; When the complainant questioned why Choo continued to promote him after learning of sexual misconduct, Choo said she declines to take criticism from white people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t need policing by White women,&#8221; Choo wrote in a text message.<\/p>\n<p>Time&#8217;s Up didn&#8217;t respond to a request for comment on the allegations against Choo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1451701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-11.15.49-AM.png\" alt width=\"573\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The alleged assault happened at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Portland, Ore., where Campbell sometimes assisted with patients. According to the complainant&#8217;s lawsuit, Campbell snuck up behind her while erect and pushed her into a desk with his body. The complainant texted Campbell after and told him to never again invade her physical space, but he continued to text her afterward, asking for &#8220;another hug&#8221; and even attempting to invite himself to her home. The incident came after months of sexually-charged social media and text messages, including a picture of his erect penis.<\/p>\n<p>Choo was made aware of the assault as well as incidents involving other women and Campbell, the lawsuit says. She was provided a written report with screenshot evidence of Campbell&#8217;s actions on April 9, 2020. The next day, Choo messaged the complainant that coming forward was &#8220;never worth it&#8221; but offered to have a &#8220;sit down&#8221; with Campbell to discuss the allegation. The lawsuit says Choo failed to report the allegations to her superiors, as she is required to do by the teaching hospital&#8217;s Title IX program.<\/p>\n<p>Choo remains featured on the Time&#8217;s Up website, along with a quote promising that harassment concerns are &#8220;not ignored or forgotten.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To all those affected by harassment across the health professions, please know this: TIME&#8217;S UP Healthcare is committed to fighting on your behalf and to ensure your concerns are not ignored or forgotten\u2014today, tomorrow, and as long as it takes,&#8221; Choo is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>Choo currently is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apbspeakers.com\/speaker\/esther-choo\/\">available for paid speeches<\/a> on &#8220;what it would look like in health care if there was no harassment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The University of Florida&#8217;s teaching hospital, where Campbell was recently hired, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/health\/2021\/03\/tiktok-doc-placed-on-leave-after-florida-hospital-learns-of-ohsu-misconduct-investigation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">placed<\/a>\u00a0the doctor on leave after they received word of his sexual misconduct allegations.<\/p>\n<p>The Oregon Health and Science University hospital did not respond to a request for comment on Choo&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8 hide-print\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1526555381173-4\" class=\"mobile-250 desktop-90\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leader of the Time&#8217;s Up project to stamp out sexual harassment in the medical profession ignored a well-documented accusation of assault made against a popular doctor at her hospital, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274571,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-11.15.49-AM.png","fifu_image_alt":"Time\u2019s Up Leader Ignored Sexual Assault Allegation Against Star Doctor, Lawsuit Says","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-186836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-11.15.49-AM.png","fifu_image_alt":"Time\u2019s Up Leader Ignored Sexual Assault Allegation Against Star Doctor, Lawsuit Says","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
