Dugan's complaint described how she sent an email to the Academy’s managing director Shonda Grant on Dec. 22 alleging sexual harassment, “egregious conflicts of interest, improper self-dealing by Board members and voting irregularities with respect to nominations for Grammy Awards.” She said the behavior was made possible by the organization's "boys’ club mentality and approach."
Wigdor, described the Academy as being on “life support right now,” referring to the organization’s counterclaims that Dugan created a “toxic” work environment. “They are in panic mode right now.
