“Harassment is unacceptable in any setting,” Mr. Singhal said in a statement. “I certainly want everyone to know that I do not condone and have not committed such behavior. In my 20-year career, I’ve never been accused of anything like this before, and the decision to leave Google was my own.”

So the implication is then what? Uber made the whole thing up? He's never been accused before he was accused at Google, or before he was accused in the media?

  Just to be clear: I have no way of knowing the facts and am just commenting based on my memory of what I read. What he says doesn't contradict what Uber said. Uber let him go for not revealing the accusations. They have no way of knowing what the results of the investigation were.

    "What he says doesn't contradict what Uber said. Uber let him go for not revealing the accusations" What he said directly contradicts what Uber said. Uber said there was an accusation. He says there has never been an accusation. These are direct contradictions. 1!=0.

      I think that's an incorrect interpretation of what he said. He does not say there has never been an accusation, he says there has never _before_ been an accusation.

      He does admit that there was a Google accusation.

  Or Uber and this guy did a deal because of his clean record (just like all the guys that the 2 girls complained about to HR and HR said "it's the first complaint about him!" multiple times). Now he's lost his job, and the other side will say "the feminist witch hunt caused the jobs of innocent people!"
