Additionally, when Sachs found out about one administrative employee\u2019s living situation, he allegedly asked if she was \u201cfucking all of [her] roommates\u201d; another time, he told her she was \u201clucky to live in a day and age when curves and butts are in fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sachs repeatedly made comments about women and their body types in an insensitive and misogynistic manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Excerpt from <em>Curbed<\/em>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe pointed to me and was like, \u2018See, this is what we call a \u201cshiksa goddess.\u201d This is what we call Daddy\u2019s type.\u2019 He said that kind of shit all the time.\u201d (Sachs\u2019s studio says this was a joke.)
