LOS ANGELES -- The gender equality initiative Time's Up says its president and CEO resigned because of sexual misconduct allegations against her son.
The group on Friday issued a statement explaining why Lisa Borders -- the former president of the WNBA -- stepped down from the organization that was formed last year in response to sexual misconduct allegations in Hollywood. On Monday, Borders cited family issues but did not elaborate.
Time's Up said the allegations were made against Borders' son in a private forum.
The Los Angeles Times reports a woman said that Borders' son, Garry Bowden Jr., touched her inappropriately during a "healing session."
His lawyer said Bowden gave the woman a healing massage that she had requested and showed the Times a text exchange in which the woman thanked him.
