Former Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg Accused of Misconduct in New Memoir

A former employee's book alleges inappropriate behavior, extravagant spending, and troubling workplace dynamics at Facebook's leadership.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook employee, claims in her memoir that Sheryl Sandberg asked her to 'come to bed' during a private jet flight and spent $13,000 on lingerie for them during a European trip.
The memoir describes instances of Sandberg and her assistant engaging in intimate behavior, such as sleeping in each other's laps and stroking each other's hair on a European car ride.
Meta has dismissed the allegations, stating that Wynn-Williams was fired in 2017 for poor performance and toxic behavior, and described the claims as outdated and unfounded.
The book also criticizes Facebook's leadership, likening Sandberg and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to 'careless people' from The Great Gatsby, and accuses Zuckerberg of prioritizing public adoration over engineering focus.
Additional allegations include troubling behavior by Joel Kaplan, Meta's global policy head, and claims of secretive efforts by Facebook to re-enter the Chinese market through controversial methods.
