As the men laughed, Keating, who had an 8-year-old daughter at the time, said she lost her appetite and did not remember much of the rest of the evening. Another person at the dinner — who asked not to be identified out of fear of retribution — confirmed that the owner made a rape joke.
The witness recalled that the dinner was at Scales, and that Keating was unable to eat the simple salad she had ordered, and remained quiet for the rest of the evening. Norton, who was working in the Higher Ground box office at the time, did not witness the event but said she heard about it soon thereafter from Keating. Misogynistic jokes and language was just the order of the day, and not just with this club, but industry-wide.
But the fact that it was our boss was pretty, pretty outrageous and it made us feel entirely powerless. A few months later, Keating said, she was at a charity auction at Higher Ground. At this auction, donors could bid on a drive with Newman.
She said that the owner who had made the rape joke, whom VTDigger has determined was Newman, made another joke comparing the auction to a modern-day slavery auction in front of the roomful of donors.
Another former employee, who asked not to be identified out of fear of retribution, said he remembered being told an account of the joke, although he was not present at the auction. In her Instagram post, Keating said she confronted the owner as soon as he walked off stage and he accused her of being defensive and overly sensitive. The business manager at the time did not respond to a request for an interview. She said that is true no matter how many years of experience women have or what positions they have held.
After that rocky beginning in , during which she objected to two jokes made by Newman, Keating managed Higher Ground for three years. During that time, she said, she rocked the boat. She said she persuaded the straight white men in management to revive First Fridays, a monthly drag dance party. She said she fired a male security guard for slapping a female bartender on the buttocks.
She said she asked that a contracted stagehand who she said was constantly trying to grope women be removed because no women wanted to work with him. Another former employee, who worked in production at Higher Ground events, informed Keating that they had been sexually assaulted by the same stagehand. The former employee, who is not being named because they are a survivor of an alleged sexual assault, told VTDigger they did not want to describe the nature of the incident any further.
This man is like 60 years old. I was 23 at the time. Keating eventually promoted Ziobro to assistant production manager. Ziobro has left the music industry to work in tech in New York. Keating said she thought that, as general manager, she had the power to get rid of the stagehand.
When Crothers told her she did not, she realized that she would not resolve another problem that was now preventing her from doing her job. In her Instagram post, Keating said that two years ago, her direct boss, the business manager, froze her out.
She said he would not speak to her except to scream at her in front of her staff. In interviews with VTDigger, Keating elaborated, saying her direct boss would get drunk at shows and yell at her, but would ignore her in meetings and would roll his eyes when she spoke.
