Hewlett-Packard Co CEO Mark Hurd resigned on Friday after an investigation found that he had falsified expense reports to conceal a "close personal relationship" with what HP claimed was "a female contractor."We are not sure what HP contract for, as she turns out to be Jodie Fisher, a 50-year-old adult film actress and reality TV contestant who said on Sunday that she was “surprised and saddened” that Mark Hurd, 53, had lost his job following her allegations.
An HP probe cleared Mr Hurd, 53, of sexually harassing the actress but found he had submitted inaccurate expense reports to conceal a “personal relationship” with her. That she claims that they had not had an affair or intimate sexual relationship only deepens the mystery.
Perhaps the full story is somewhere on a missing data drive.
