Isiah Thomas Found Guilty

Posted by Bossip Staff

New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas (who initially denied allegations back in ‘06) and Madison Square Garden were found guilty of sexual harrassment charges.

Via Foxsports.com:

A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also ruled he does not have to pay punitive damages.

The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and ruled that she is entitled to punitive damages from MSG.

Anucha Browne Sanders characterized Thomas as a foul-mouthed lout who initially berated her as a “bitch” and a “ho” before his anger gave way to ardor, with Thomas making unwanted advances and encouraging her to visit him “off site.”

The case, from its inception, proved a public relations disaster for the Knicks and the Garden, with intense coverage of the three-week trial focusing on its tawdriest aspects — star guard Stephon Marbury having sex with an intern outside a strip club, raunchy come-ons from a Marbury cousin to his Garden co-workers, Thomas’ videotaped remarks about the racial dynamics of calling a woman “a bitch.”

I just feel bad for Isiah’s wife. He better not be calling her a bitch. Maybe he is, we forgot he thinks black on black bitch calling is cool.

    MEN NEED TO GROW UP.MY BROTHER BASKETBALL IDOL WAS ISIAH THOMAS #11.HE SEEM LIKE SUCH A NICE GUY ALL THESE YEARS.VERY QUIET AND SNEAKY!

  16. Ro Ro

    I am not surprised at all by this verdict. It has nothing to do with whether or not I feel that Thomas is guilty or innocent but more on the way that he presented himself throuhgout the case. I was talking with my husband on Saturday and I told him that I believe that Isaiah Thomas as going to be found guilty because of his attitude towards the case. Evertime that man came out of court he had a big smile on his face, as if the entire proceeding was a joke and in return Amika was solemn faced and always said “no comment” when asked a question.

    Oh well that is how the cookie crumbles.


  17. ISIAH SAY ***** MORE DEN TOO SHORT

    They look like Twins, for real.

  19. Justin

  21. Coop

  22. Coop

    This is what you do tie it up on appeal for the next 10-15 years that way she see no money for a while.

  23. M-DADDY

    Of all the woman he could have sexually har*****ed he chose her. She is not even attractive. He wasted a perfectally Sexual Harrasing on her. DAMN Zeeke say it aint so

  24. ImpressMe

  26. FIDDY

    I MEAN DAUGHTER!!!

  27. John

  28. Trini Chica in BK

    I thought that was his sister in the pic! They look alike! WOW!

  29. NAIS

    MDADDY that was soo mean. But u kno men pull slick ***** with ugly chicks. He figured she would like that or that she was too ugly to stand up for herself…besides Thomas is not the “bees-knees” either. i could hang ten on that wide ***** nose!

  30. ko

    Isiah Thomas should be fired. The knicks are still losers and he just cost his boss 11.6 million dollars in a mess that he created. MSG just caught a bad one today, not a good look. I gotta hand it to Mrs. Sanders also, going up against a big corporation like that and WINNING. damn girl!!

  31. Here we go

    Well well, the comments are good so far, lets see how long it will be before someone says that its only becase he’s Black and women are out to get “the brother” because you KNOW its coming.

  32. saucefry

    I feel a “certain way” about this case, I experienced a situation like this before at a place of employment. I sent flowers to a HOT “redbone” (Black woman), she took my flowers and told our supervisor about the flowers, I almost got terminated from my position for “inappropriate behavior”–thank GOD I was an excellent Customer Service Rep.—I learned my lesson real quick–I do not “crack” on no women at the gig—I just solicit PROSTITUTES.

  33. lee

    That’s not his wife. That’s his daughter in the picture. She’s star basketball player in Westchester County, NY.

  34. versace

    Hallelujah, Praised to Jesus!!! Wipe that *****ing smirk laugh off his *****ing face. He took this as a joke that is more so why I believe he actually har*****ed her. Men will say, oh she’s not attractive, but does ***** have a face? Their has been many times when a women is sitting at the office doing her job and the comments why are you so serious, why do you have to be a tight ***** *****, do you ever relax? To hey, when are we ever going to go out, let me have a good morning hug, or kiss. To ***** that ***** fire her! Men often times if you don’t ***** them they will find a way to ***** a women over. He used and played her out and had the white guy fire her because she’s a problem. Tim Dolan must be sucking on Isaih black ***** to not fire his *****. All the white guys they fire after a season or two but this one they keep sucking on his *****. The old white guy that kept cursing the knicks out when they kept losing they fired him, the guy that was winning championship he wasn’t able to take anymore he left but this dumb stupid darkie they keep. The knicks kept losing under his leadership and they still keep him is absolutely unbelievable. White man gave him a job and this is how he repays them, by having a losing team and getting sued with a smirk on his face. Now he needs to respectful to women and concentrate on the game. No forget that fire the ***** pay her and raise the gardens ticket to 200.00 per game to all the losers that pay to watch the game.

  35. Kim

    Is the woman in the picture his wife or his daughter? They look exactly alike!

  36. Akasha1

    his daughter


  37. @ Drock–

    You’re a STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    Cyber me your autograph! Lol!!


  38. I seen the comments about her being not so attractive. I guess when there’s a claim of harr*****ment, people would “*****ume” if the woman is not so attractive then it must not be true. Shoot–, he did it! he did it! Lol!

  39. Smiling Bob

    He didn’t do it. She’s an ugly, nappy-headed rake.

  40. Sheryl

    That ***** doesn’t have a wife. Total *****hole — He needs to win some games and stop the team from screwing all the interns!!!

  41. ImpressMe

  44. Night

  45. T-Bone

    I thank that sex seen with danny glover and woopi golburg was way hotta than her sex seen with *****ri bob. my ***** danny was puttin it down lik a g.


  46. There you have it! I’m glad Anucha went through with it and stood her ground! I feel like doing the same thing!

  47. Yes I Said It

    She looks like she could be his sister.

  48. Yes I Said It

    So… I’m sure it’ll be an interesing conversation between him and his wife tonight. I wouldnt mind being a fly on the wall for that one.

  49. MAKE YOUR HATERS YOUR MOTIVATORS

    FYI. Lynn Thomas, Isiah Thomas’ wife stated, through their son, that she fully supported Isiah and didn’t support the allegations against him. It was stated that she felt he was not guilty and she didn’t believe he was guilty of any of the charges. Can you say somebody is living too good off her husband’s money. WHAT A DEAD HEAD.

  50. nuffsaid

    This nucca just cost his boss 10 million and he’s walking out the courthouse smiling. Why is Isaiah always grinning so hard?


  51. I have one thing to say” Doesn’t Isiah’s wife look just like him?” He’s a freak so is that his sister?

  52. Ewwwwwww !!

    its his daughter, i’m told.


  53. I think that’s his daughter b/c she looks just like him. Good for Ms. Brown!!!

  54. versace

    I was just listening to Wendy Williams and she and Charlamagne said well she’s going to need the money now because no-one is going to hire her now because who want’s to hire that trouble maker. What an ***** hole comment. Everyday women are har***** and no-one believes them and they are labeled trouble makers but the white women who sued a major banking firm in wall street a couple years back are they trouble makers to someone else. Why can’t women go to work with a peace of mind and not be sexually har*****ed they already earn less than men to the dollar how much more do they have to be disrespected?

  55. T-Bone

    Yo! Wendy is right no snitchin’ sides aint nuthin wrong wit a littel maxin relaxin an sexshul har*****in

  56. BlackWomenJustDontListen

    The Judge found Isaiah Thomas NOT LIABLE for damages, but ruled MSG WAS liable.

    The Judge has put the financial blame on MSG. Please kindly direct some of the hate at them too.

  57. AND...

    @ T bone

    “…aint nuthin wrong wit a littel maxin relaxin an sexshul har*****in.”

    lmao

  58. LO

    That is his daughter..i feel bad they put her pic up here. She is only in high school.

  59. Moorish Queen

    I don’t believe he sexually harr*****ed Anucha Browne Sanders. One, she looks like a man (broad shoulders and all). Two, she would make an ugly man at that. I can see him calling her a B*tch. But, sexual har*****ment? no.

  60. T-Bone

    Aint nuthin wrong wit his dauter she do look his face but yo thats whut doggy stile is for and maybe a half of bottel of bacadi rum to help u preten that she is beeoncee and then u give her a fake numbor so she wont be tryin to follo u an *****.


  61. @Moorish Queen, from a legal standpoint, calling someone a ‘*****’ (or any other name that would be derogatory to females) at the worksite qualifies as sexual har*****ment.

  62. T-Bone

    Yo an not to minshun createn a hostyl workin inviromint i lurn that ***** befor i got fired at jack n da box ho set me up.


  63. Hooray for Anucha!!!! Isaiah’s handlers should have advised him better on how to handle the court situation and his take on calling women “*****es”… whether they’re black or white… or any other ethnicity or race.

    *****hole!!!


  64. MSG is going to appeal the decision but never-the-less I applaud Anucha Browne-Sanders for taking this matter serious and not ignoring the situation… like so many women have. She may not ever see a dime of her award but she is still victorious and I believe that she will go on to bigger and better things.

    Go Sisstah Anucha!!!

  65. DANA

    lmao!! 11 million!! i just cant believe he went into a court of law talking that ” it’s ok for a black man to call a woman a *****” *****!

  66. Esaul

    Isaiah Thomas couldn’t be any more stupid. You can’t say in a court that its OK for black people to call ‘*****’ or ‘ho ‘to a woman.

    What was his lawyer thinking?

    Anyway, American justice system is a joke. Everybody knows that. (Jena 6 case, Genarlow Wilson case, OJ case…)

    This ***** just wanted money and now she is rich.

    In any other country she would never have gotten that ridiculous sum of money.

    Moral damages? 11 Million dollars? Are you kidding?


  67. And another thing… maybe this will teach some of these atletes (millionaires) who have become so jaded with their money that they insist on doing dumb-***** to others (and animals) thinking that they are above the law and can buy their way out of any situation.

    Get it togethers guys take steps to advance your culture and bring up your communities and your people so that your loot won’t be taken away… like O.J, Mike Vick, and now Isaisha via MSG!!!


  68. And he would be HoT if he witnessed his mother, wife or daughter called any disparaging names. I don’t think that he would think that it’s okay because she is a black women.

    Hell Naw!!!

  69. VI_QUEEN1

    That woman looks like his sister or daughter not his wife that is scary!!!!

  70. Lost One :)

    Isiah & MSG will probably deal with more woman coming out of the woodwork. Certain, not all men(professional athletes, rich Men) get used to having all of their needs met and having people cater to them, when someone tells them no, It can turn ugly. I truly think this is what happened here. He made an off the cuff remark, saw that she wnst having it, but he cldnt stop himself.

    Now lets just say his beautiful daughter came home and said “Daddy, every day at school this guy keeps calling me a B*** h and keeps trying to kiss me.” What actions would Isiah take then!

  71. FOXYCLEOPATRA

    I DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR HIS WIFE. SHE WAS THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO MARRY AN IGNORANT MAN.

    THE FACT ALONE THAT HE WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO HAVE THE VIEW THAT AND EVEN WORSE MORE OPEN HIS MANDIBLE TO IMPLY THAT IT IS LESS OFFENSIVE FOR A BM THAN WM TO CALL A BW A ***** IS REASON ENOUGH FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS SILLY ***** DEALT WITH.

  72. FOXYCLEOPATRA

    SOME OF U BM JUST THINK IT IS OK FOR U TO DISRESPECT BW AS YOU WILL. BLEEDING IDIOTS!

  73. Star

    I thought that was Aaliyah for a second…

    Him and his wife do favor each other…weird.

  74. JaliliMaster

    After reading the comments of some black women and most black men on this site, I have come to the conclusion that most of you african americans are mere degenerates! The fact alone that majority of you bm think it’s okay to sexually harr***** a woman, especially if she is black, is just so disgusting. I have heard you Af-american women moan about the lack of respect your men give you. Frankly, you lot deserve it. And yet you’ll moan about sexist, racist white men. You have no right to expect them to treat you any better than you are allowing your useless black men to treat you. And for those of you wondering, I am a 20 year old Nigerian girl. You lot are just so below me!


  75. YEAH FROM WHAT I HEARD HE USED HIS MOUTH TO SET HIMSELF UP…

    FALLDEUCES GOT THE REAL STORY.

    http://WWW.FALLDEUCES.BLOGSPOT.COM

  76. Marley

    Is that really his wife? They look like brother and sister, and that is no compliment.

    I just don’t know exactly what has happend to the Black people in this country. I mean, Isiah thinks it okay to call a BW a *****- but he will flip out if a WM calls a BW the same. He is a Grade 1 IDIOT…Women do not deserve to be called *****es by ANYONE….He’s the *****.

  77. versace

    What are you talking about JaliliMaster? As if the nigerian black men treat women like gold. What are you on? 50% of the population are muslim and women are treated as first cl***** citizens.

  78. PHKatz

    Good to know I’m not the only one,who thinks they look like siblings.

  79. Moorish Queen

    @Roslyn

    It is my understanding that latter would be cl*****ified as hostile environment har*****ment.

  80. Divab

    Hey Bossip.. Thats his DAUGHTER, not his WIFe..

    People that pic is of him and his DAUGHTER! Bossip yall wrong.

  81. FOXYCLEOPATRA

    VERSACE,

    I AM ALSO NIGERIAN AND I HAVE TO AGREE WITH JALILIMASTER ON THIS ONE.

    SOME PPLE ARE JUST A DISGRACE TO THEMSELVES!

  82. Nelly

    hi This is where I come to check out Aaliyah when she has pictures out. They might be topless and I love them all. Where do you go for the hottest pictures?
