Eric Schmidt denies rape, spy allegations by ex-mistress

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, is being accused by his ex-mistress, Michelle Ritter, of serious things like rape, harassment, and spying on her.

She says he did these bad things to her when they were in a relationship and working together on a startup.

Schmidt says she is lying and trying to make up stories to get money from him.

They met in 2020 when she was 26 and he was 65.

Ritter says Schmidt promised her he was separated from his wife, but she later felt controlled and abused.

Schmidt's lawyers say they have messages that prove Ritter is not telling the truth.

The court documents show both sides saying the other is lying.
