Rudy Giuliani has notched a major loss in civil litigation over allegations he forced his onetime assistant to have sex with him. On Monday, a judge in New York State declined to dismiss the workplace harassment lawsuit filed by Noelle Dunphy, who says she worked for the former New York City mayor between 2019 and 2021.

The lawsuit was filed in May 2023. The complaint alleges Giuliani "went on alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist, and antisemitic remarks," and that he "constantly" took Viagra — often directing Dunphy's attention to "his erect penis" in order to tell her "that he could not do any work until 'you take care of this.'"

For years, the litigation moved slowly through scores of motions and other pretrial wrangling. In January 2025, Dunphy filed an amended complaint; Giuliani filed his motion to dismiss in March 2025. In February of this year, the parties appeared for a hearing that ultimately whittled down the number of issues raised by the defense.

Now, in a seven-page ruling, Supreme Court of New York County Judge Nicholas W. Moyne dispensed with each of Giuliani's remaining arguments in turn and allowed the case to move forward to discovery.

5. Never forget that Rudy

Used an apartment meant for first responders to rest after 9/11 and turned it into a love shack for Bernard Kerik.

6. He is, and was, a TOTAL FRAUD.

After 9/11, the press was calling him "Americas' Mayor"

What a joke.

All he did on 9/11 and after, was to shove his ugly mug in front of every camera he could find. He did NOTHING to help the situation other than self-aggrandizment.

He subsequently went on to prove he was a worthless self-promoter by prostrating himself before the throne of Trump.
I hope the court bankrupts this worthless piece of shit.

She has recordings and evidence to back her up.
Giuliani approved of her recording him

After the settlement with Georgia election workers, I have to wonder what $ he has left ...

If there was any doubt whether he was a despicable pig, this case should eliminate it

8. "After the settlement with Georgia election workers, I have to wonder what $ he has left ..."

He shifted much of it to his son Andrew (and was called out on it which is why that sudden settlement).
