And of course she's friends with Roenick's wife, and probably Roenick, so she could have felt insulted or degraded without wanting to ruin her friends career. Inversely, she could feel pressure to speak out as a woman in the industry having many others looking up to her.
Niche situation, but it's sort of what happened on Survivor this season where Kellee was unreasonably pressured to decide the fate of one of her inappropriate "coworkers" which she felt was unfair, and CBS said they wouldn't do again.
And even Aliu felt pressured to take that photo who's "coworkers" thought was just a friendly joke as well.
So I think companies need just blanket policies, and at that top of that list right now will be sexual harassment.

In a properly run organization retaliation is taken serious. She is allowed to feel the way she does. I would expect HR rep to have a confidential conversation with her and share only a general review back to management.
Anyways, if Jeremy is as buddy with this lady as he says he is, he shouldn’t worry at all. If he isn’t and she is offended I think it just proves the point on warranting suspension.
