Here's some information I found:
In her lawsuit, Bottomly claimed Monson had become obsessed
with her "personally and sexually" during her employment at AIB from 1990
to 1993.
Bottomly said she was forced to listen to "stories of the most intimate
facts of his sexual relations with his wife [and he] repeatedly asked about
her sex life."
Monson, the suit claimed, stalked her, tried to kiss her,
searched her belongings, listened to her conversations and repeatedly
propositioned her. He also wrote love notes and left "lewd" materials on
her desk, including a drawing of two people having sex, according to court
documents.
Bottomly complained to Monson's superiors and filed a complaint with the
company in 1993. All the while, she said, she was assured her job was
secure.
Monson was fired Sept. 7, 1993. In a deposition, he said he
was let go for using poor judgment in his relationship with Bottomly.

Not fake news, just old news. The first post in this thread had a link to the newspaper article from the 90s. I just became aware of it yesterday though.

Sounds like he was just trying to give her the same interview he would give a Mia Maid or Laurel before temple baptisms. Geez, a fella can't even ascertain a female's worthiness in this crappy PC environment. No wonder he has to resort to the good ol boys club for employment.

Damn--nothing that interesting happened (or rather, it probably still happened, but just didn't gain sufficient exposure that I knew about it) during the years I worked at American Investment Bank.
