A woman who got a big payout from the National Restaurant Association after accusing then-boss Herman Cain of sexual harassment filed yet another workplace complaint against her new employer just three years later, it was revealed yesterday.
And Karen Kraushaar -- whose claims against Cain have rocked the Republican presidential hopeful’s campaign -- reportedly wanted a hefty series of perks, including a big raise and a one-year stint at Harvard, to settle her complaint against the US Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Cain’s campaign -- which has vehemently denied he ever harassed any women -- quickly seized on the revelations, linking them to disclosures about the financial difficulties of another Cain accuser, Sharon Bialek.
Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon called the news about Kraushaar and Bialek “interesting revelations” and said, “We hope the court of public opinion will take this into consideration as they, the women, continue to try to keep the story alive.”
That story soon could gain new life with a planned press conference, possibly as early as today, by at least Bialek and Kraushaar, whose lawyer said she plans to give reporters a detailed account of what Cain did to her.
Two other women who have made similar claims against Cain have been invited to the as-yet-scheduled press conference, but as of last night had not accepted.
Kraushaar, 55, received a $45,000 confidential payment in 1999 from the restaurant association to settle her sex-harassment complaints against Cain.
She later took a job as a spokeswoman at the INS.
Yesterday, The Associated Press, citing interviews with three former Kraushaar supervisors, reported that in late 2002 or early 2003 she filed a complaint over allegedly being unfairly denied permission to work from home following a serious car accident.

That complaint also accused a manager of disseminating a sexually explicit e-mail containing jokes comparing men and women to computers.
Here's the joke that has been on the internet for ages:

Here are some other variations of the joke that Kraushaar found offensive enough to file sexual harassment charges:

AND SO, WE GO TO THE BIGGIE:
To settle that complaint, Kraushaar at first made a slew of demands, including thousands of dollars in an up-front payment, a one-year fellowship at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and reinstatement of the leave she had used following her accident.
She also demanded a pay-scale promotion that would have boosted her annual salary by between $12,000 and $16,000.
LATEST NEWS ON THE OTHER ACCUSER:
Sharon Bialek yesterday said Cain was lying when he said he did not remember her.
She pointed out that she had recently approached and spoken to Cain a month ago at a Tea Party rally.
We already know that she staked him out and approached him, but that doesn’t mean he remembers her.
Like every celeb who goes to a Tea Party remembers each and every person that seeks them out.
That is hilarious!
Just as hundreds and hundreds of other people did. And I doubt that Herman remembers each of their faces either.
Will she be dumb enough to hold a press conference, now that all her dirty laundry is on display?
The money and support is pouring in for Herman Cain, but we cannot slow down now. Please help him by donating at http://www.hermancain.com/
Also to help join the buzz about Herman go to facebook.com and “like” him. His “likes” have jumped dramatically since the attacks started. Make no mistake Sean Hannity’s BFF Tokyo Rove is watching Herman’s “likes” and so is Romney. THIS is the way to stick it to the GOP establishment! Please tell your family and friends to “like” Herman as well. Then let’s bring out our most powerful tool for helping Herman Cain: PRAYING that God protects him from the people of darkness.
Yes, years ago I went to a hank williams jr concert, man still calls me and wants to talk about the show. ; )
The best part is that she doesn’t recall asking for all those things, but she remembered the complaints she put in.
“to settle her complaint against the US Immigration and Naturalization Service”
LOL,,, federal agencies are the holy monasteries of EEOC political correctness. If she was offended THERE, she better hang up her spurs and just stay home.

My hubby has a kooky sister that just loved Neil Diamond many years ago.
She would tell people that when she was at his concert in the second row that she knew he was looking at her all the time with adoring eyes. LOL
Thing is, with all the lights in his face and stuff. He probably couldn’t even see the second row!
Probably. I just emailed her attorney with some documents obtained which show her using different social security numbers in court.
Enlarge her photo, look at it and ask yourself if you would hit on that.
If Cain would hit on that, he would jump a goat and skirt chasers who would jump a goat have a string of well known escapades a mile long and over many years.
No such string has been found.
She is a man hater and probably resentful of the world in general.
Attorneys (prosecutors and defense) have a nasty trick to mess with a witness before trial. They send similar-looking people around to get in the face of the witness and get the witness’s attention. Then when it comes to trial, all the phonies are sitting on the front row and the witness is asked if they’ve ever seen anyone in the courtroom. The witness is there to identify the bad guy, but has these other faces implanted in his/her mind, is confused, and cannot make a credible i.d..
This is what I immediately thought of when I heard that Bialek had cornered Herman Cain at that speech a couple of weeks ago.
I find it interesting that once Mr. Cain trotted out Lin Wood that these gold-diggers have pretty much shut up.
The other thing is that she doesn't remember asking for all those things in her complaint, but remembered the complaints she made.
RE: I had dinner once at the table next to Crystal Gayle, never could understand that hair, she still calls also. LOL

Did you get a good look at her eyes? Were they brown or blue? Even she can’t make up her mind.

I have the same problem with Oliva Newton John. I go to one concert and she just won’t stop calling.
