Attorneys representing Zawaideh and White did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday. White’s attorney has previously said the allegations lacked merit. Zawaideh and White reached an undisclosed settlement in May 2017, USA Today reported at the time. The allegations against White resurfaced in reports by New York magazine and Slate in the week leading up to his appearance in PyeongChang, which comes amid a national reckoning over the treatment of women in the workplace. Allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein set off a wave of accusations against powerful men in entertainment, media and other industries. White took gold in the men’s halfpipe event on Wednesday in South
 

 Zawaideh initially filed a different lawsuit against White, accusing him of breach of contract for lack of payment. Later, in the lawsuit filed in August 2016, she also accused him of sexual harassment.Screenshots of text messages included in the complaint show White told Zawaideh to wear sexually revealing clothes and cut her hair shorter. When she declined, he questioned whether she was sure about her “decision to not do what I’m asking.”“As the financier of Bad Things, White used his role to imposed a strict regime over Zawaideh, going so far as to demand that she cut her hair, wear sexually revealing clothes and underwear, and refrain from wearing red lipstick—her own personal signature,” the suit said.
