Larry Michael, the senior vice president of content for Washington who resigned from his position with the team this week, was accused of harassment by seven former employees.

Princiotti's experience also echoed Walker's.
"He told me I had a great a-- for a little white girl," Princiotti said. "The general sentiment was that I should wear less clothing."

Santos did not make a comment with the post. Dan Snyder, the owner of the Washington NFL team, also declined to comment on the st
