The woman accusing Horatio Sanz of sexual misconduct is now claiming some other familiar faces were involved in the situation as well. According to Page Six, Sanz’s accuser is also putting some blame on Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels, and NBC. She claims that the individuals listed all “enabled” Sanz’s behavior and seemingly didn’t do anything to stop it. Allegedly, Morgan hosted the party where she was sexually assaulted. The woman insists that at the event, “SNL” alums Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, and Maya Rudolph also did nothing to help her while Sanz was groping and inappropriately touching her in front of them.
In the legal documents, she claims, “NBC, Sanz, Michaels, Fallon and Morgan enabled each other’s crime of unlawfully dealing with a child and endangering the welfare of a child.” The document continues, “She was profoundly dehumanized as her heroes stood and laughed at her while her teenage body was violated.”
The unnamed accuser asked to have Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, and Lorne Michaels added to the lawsuit on August 23, per Variety. According to Variety, the woman allegedly told Fallon she was just a junior in high school at one of the “SNL” parties as she drank with him and other NBC employees. NBCUniversal has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, but only time will tell how everything is going to play out.
