According to an explosive new memoir, Facebook executive executive Cheryl Sandberg has spent $13,000 on lingerie and a young female assistant while traveling in Europe, and encouraged her to “sleep” while flying a private jet on her way home.
The bomb claim was created in a book published by former Facebook employee Sarah Wynn-Williams, who wrote seven years of his time at a high-tech giant entitled “The Careless People: Attention Stories of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism.”
During a long drive through Europe, Sandberg and her 26-year-old assistant took turns sleeping on each other's laps and stroked each other's hair, Wynn Williams allegedly explosively.
During the trip, Sandberg instructed Winn Williams to buy both lingerie, regardless of the cost – the final bill reaches $13,000. Published on Monday by the New York Times.
According to a book review, Sandberg, dressed in her pyjamas, was visibly inspired when Winn Williams declined her offer to join her “only bed on the plane” while on her private jet home.
Williams left the company in 2017. It was then rebranded to Meta.
“This is a combination of previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” a Meta spokesman told the post.
“Eight years ago, Sarah Wynn Williams was fired for her poor performance and toxic behavior, and investigations at the time determined that she had misled and unfounded harassment.”
A spokesperson added: “Since then she has been paid by anti-flac activists, and this is simply a continuation of the work.”
“The whistleblower status protects communications to the government, not the disgruntled activists trying to sell the book,” a Meta spokesperson said.
Wynn-Williams also recalls Facebook's top policy executive Joel Kaplan and, according to reviews, she is engaged in behavior that has deeply offended her.
Kaplan, a former Sandberg Marine and former boyfriend from Harvard, served as Facebook's vice president of US policy and ultimately as Win Williams' boss before becoming vice president of Global Policy.
Kaplan, a conservative operative with deep connections to Republican politics, once pushed against her on the dance floor at a work event, commenting that she looked “smoothed” and made uneasy comments about her husband.
Kaplan continued to send emails to her during maternity leave, claiming weekly video conferences when she died of amniotic fluid embolism while giving birth to her second child.
Kaplan reportedly pushed her against her, even after explaining that she still bleeding and needed additional surgery. “But where are you bleeding?”
According to a review of the Times book, an internal investigation on Facebook ultimately filled Kaplan for fraud.
Meanwhile, Wynn-Williams describes CEO Mark Zuckerberg as someone who, according to the Times, has shifted from his obsession with coding and engineering to an executive consumed by politics and public worship.
During tours of Asia, Win Williams was instructed to arrange over a million people to ensure he was “gentlely upset” during his trip to Indonesia, which was insisted.
At one point he told Wynn Williams that Andrew Jackson, known for signing the law to the Indian removal law, is the biggest US president because he “gets things done.”
Wynn-Williams' memoirs was wrapped up by the publisher until a few days before its release on Tuesday.
She provided a poignant insider's account of the company's leadership, portraying them as power-hungry at the consequences of their actions, irresponsible and indifferent.
In this book, Winn Williams likened Zuckerberg and Sandberg to “the careless people” in “The Great Gatsby,” leaving things to break and others to deal with fallout.
The book also detailed Facebook's secret attempt to reenter the Chinese market through a project called “Aldrin,” which includes partnerships, censorship tools and data sharing proposals.
According to Wynn-Williams, Zuckerberg was aiming to invade himself into the Chinese Communist Party.
These efforts include “providing briefings to CCP personnel on new technologies such as artificial intelligence, developing bespoke censorship tools using CCPs, and making efforts to hide meta cooperation with CCPs from the US Congress.”
When questioned by Congress in 2018, Zuckerberg argued that “no decision has been made on the conditions under which future services could be provided in China.”
A Times review quotes Wynn Williams as saying, “He's lying.”
Wynn-Williams, who currently works in AI Policy, has filed a whistleblower complaint with the SEC.
This post is being asked for comment from Meta and Sandberg.
