A top executive at the company that publishes the National Enquirer, RadarOnline, and Us Weekly allegedly sexually harassed numerous women, prompting an internal investigation into the allegations, according to a report.

Twelve former employees of American Media Inc., detailed Dylan Howard’s alleged sexual misconduct to the Associated Press. Howard currently serves as the chief content officer of American Media Inc., and the company launched an internal inquiry into his behavior in 2012.

Howard stopped working in the company’s Los Angeles office and then quit after the inquiry, which resulted in a 25-to-35-page report, was completed. However, he was hired again one year later and started working out of American Media’s office in New York.

According to the Associated Press, Howard, who gave himself the nickname “Dildo,” discussed his sexual partners and exploits openly in the newsroom, talked about the sex lives of his female employees, and made female employees listen to or watch pornographic material.

Howard also allegedly told staff he wanted to make a Facebook account for a female reporter’s vagina and made inappropriate comments about the woman.

During a newsroom meeting, Howard falsely said the woman had sex with a source and commended her for doing so, a former senior editor told the Associated Press.

“He encouraged her to have sex with people for information,” the former senior editor said.

One former reporter, Liz Crokin, said Howard asked her if she was “going to be walking the streets tonight,” a reference to her heels.

Howard told the Associated Press the claims against him were “baseless.”

Cam Stracher, a lawyer for American Media, said an outside consultant had been hired to investigate claims about Howard’s misconduct made by two employees, and said one employee said he wanted to create a Facebook account for her vagina.

Howard, though, denied the incident occurred.

“It was determined that there was some what you would call as horsing around outside the office, going to bars and things that are not uncommon in the media business, but none of it rose to the level of harassment that would require termination,” Stracher said.

A spokesman for American Media said the two staffers who expressed concerns about Howard’s alleged misconduct were “disgruntled.”

“The investigation described an environment where employees mixed socially outside the office—sometimes at bars—but found no direct support for the allegations of harassment made by the two complainants,” spokesman Jon Hammond told the Associated Press in an email.

Former employees told the Associated Press they decided to speak about Howard’s misconduct after the New Yorker and others published emails indicating Howard and Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein worked together to discredit allegations of sexual harassment made against Weinstein.

In one instance, Howard told a reporter to dig up negative information about an actress who said Weinstein raped her. The editor then told Weinstein of the information.

Weinstein was the first high profile figure to face numerous allegations of sexual harassment, and since then, women have come forward to accuse others of such behavior, including reporter Charlie Rose, “Today” show anchor Matt Lauer, and comedian Louis C.K.
