According to Los Angeles Times, the Recording Academy allegedly used nondisclosure agreements in exchange for money to keep women from talking about sexual abuse within the organization.

McIntyre, who was once executive director of the Recording Academy’s Los Angeles chapter, told the paper she turned down the offers in phone calls with Katz. The...

Mike Greene, the former president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, has been sued for sexual assault by the former head of the Los Angeles chapter of the Academy, who says he drugged and raped her in 1994.
In the suit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Terri McIntyre accuses Greene of repeatedly harassing and assaulting her over the course of two years at the Recording Academy, which allegedly “engaged in a cover up” by hiding evidence of his history of sexual misconduct and had a “pattern and practice” of buying the silence of his other victims through the illegal use of confidentiality agreements.
In a statement, the Recording Academy said: “In light of pending litigation, the Academy declines to comment on these allegations, which occurred nearly 30 years ago. Today’s Recording Academy has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual misconduct and we will remain steadfast in that commitment.
