1/6 Peter Hotez is being sued for sexual harassment.
The court documents are wild. A 🧵.
👉 "[Hotez] told me about his repeated marital affairs and joked about how much Cialis he had purchased."

2/6 Annette Lee, a Northwell Health scientist, filed a wrongful termination lawsuit.
On May 22, 2024, Hotez unexpectedly confessed that he had been in love with Lee since graduate school.
Then the texts kept coming.
"Love you.."
“Miss you, let’s talk again [..], you keep me calm”.
3/6 'various extra-marital affairs...'
The next day, Lee called Hotez to make sure he was ok. He again professed his love for Lee, and when Lee rejected him on the grounds he was married, Hotez told Lee about his various extra-marital affairs.
4/6 On June 19, 2024, Hotez texted Lee that he “totally lost it” that day, that he just “sat there and wept like a crazy person.”
Then the Cialis one:
#DRASTIC
5/6 On September 17, 2024, late at night, Hotez texted Lee:
“Seriously I really miss you, I think about you, and in a nice way. I
don’t have a lot of brilliant friends who just get it and understand
things. Maybe it’s our Boston origins. I love you truly”
