Former Grammys CEO Neil Portnow Accused Of Drugging And Raping Artist In New Lawsuit

Over three years after an allegation first surfaced accusing former Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow of rape, the woman who accused him is now suing the music industry exec over the allegation. According to the suit, filed in New York yesterday, a recording artist listed as Jane Doe alleged that Portnow drugged and sexually assaulted her in his hotel room in New York in June 2018, and that the Recording Academy “aided and abetted Portnow’s conduct to protect their reputations and silence Plaintiff’s and other women in the music industry who have stood up and spoken up.” Portnow was the Grammys CEO for 17 years, from 2002 until 2019. He got lots of backlash after the 2018 Grammy Awards, when he told reporters that women needed to “step up” for better representation in the business after minimal representation at that year’s awards.
