A Long Island guy claims that his long-distance relationship with his manager at the Queens drug rehab facility was forced into sleep, and that she even attempted to justify their morning sexual encounters by referencing former US President Obama.

Michelle and Barack met at work. He was his supervisor, she was. According to his$ 100 million sex discrimination lawsuit obtained by The New York Post, Saint Joseph Medical Center program director Michele Poole allegedly told her subordinate Kian Cooper, a thank-you message.

He claimed in the lawsuit brought against her and the business in Brooklyn Supreme Court that "everyone at work was aware of what was going on behind closed doors in Poole's business because of "hear-eating," "he claimed.

And she threatened to fire him whenever he attempted to end the perverse reunion. I repeatedly, more than 100 days, and via text message between 12 and 14 days, asked him to stop, he said," I asked him to stop.

Find another work, Poole reportedly told Cooper.

Poole strongly refrained from telling The Post that their six-month event was common, that Cooper had been lavishing her with passionate gifts, and that she had no authority to hire or fire him.

She insisted that" she's only making it up. " I have proof of the personal things he sent me.

She continued," I have reliable information and will sue anyone who defames me. "

Cooper also claimed that Poole and a second individual had a relationship, but the latter employee denied the Post's allegations.

According to Cooper, the alleged sexual encounters took place in his fourth-floor office two or three times per week, frequently just before the launch of his 6-a-hour transition, when Poole would awaken him, according to court records.

He claimed," After a while, I would do things to avoid her," and as I walked from the next to the third floor, I do think," Damn! How can I leave this place without feeling awful?

" Basically, I was only trying to endure the abuse and keep my job," Cooper, 50, who also serves as a medical officer at Saint Joseph's, said.

According to Cooper's counsel, Poole is no longer employed by Saint Joseph's, though it's not clear whether she was fired or permitted to leave on her own.

Cooper, who has since earned two master's degrees in social work and industrial affairs, allegedly claimed in his lawsuit that Poole had an affair with another individual at Saint Joseph's opioid therapy center when he first started working there in 2019 out of desperation to keep his job despite having previously been found guilty of a drug offense.

Poole reportedly sent him an unidentified fruit basket in 2022 before pleading for a sexual relationship, which all started with a day at the Midtown Marriott Marquis.

Cooper, who claimed he had been diagnosed with post-traumatic anxiety, took two health leave, including one for a fortnight and two decades, in response to stress and anxiety, according to his lawsuit's statement.

According to Cooper's attorneys, JoAnn Squillace and Stephen Drummond, men are just as likely to experience sexual abuse as women.

Poole told The Post that he had distributed fruit baskets to all people for their birthday and that there had never been any physical activity at the office.

He said," We had the entire staff in by 6 a. m. , noting that his secretary was present during meetings. " I didn't do anything to harm her.

A post demand was not received by Saint Joseph's.
