Recording Academy Faces Allegations of Sexual Abuse Cover-Up

With the Grammy Awards approaching, the Recording Academy is under scrutiny for allegedly using NDAs to silence victims of sexual abuse.

The Recording Academy is accused of covering up sexual abuse with NDAs and payments, particularly involving its former general counsel, Joel Katz.
At least five women have reported signing NDAs since the 1990s after alleging misconduct within the Academy.
Former Academy executive Terri McIntyre claims she was offered $1 million by Katz to keep quiet about alleged sexual assaults.
The Academy is set to honor Katz with the Trustees Award, despite the allegations.
The Academy asserts it has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual misconduct and has been working to change its culture.
