Sam Altman’s sister has filed a lawsuit accusing him of years of sexual abuse, sparking a family dispute and public statements.
Sam, who’s now 39, and his family have come out strongly against these claims. They say they’re completely false and really hurtful. In a statement, they expressed their love for Ann and mentioned that they’ve tried to help her with her mental health issues.
The lawsuit is asking for over $75,000 in damages and wants a jury trial. Ann has made similar claims on social media before, and it seems this has really divided the family. They’ve offered her financial support and tried to get her medical help, but she’s not accepting it.
This whole situation is pretty messy, especially since Sam is a well-known figure in tech, co-founding OpenAI and all. Just last year, he had a bit of drama when he was ousted from his CEO role but came back after a lot of backlash. It’s a tough spot for everyone involved.
