The Times report alleges that the former hedge fund founder made sexual requests when women sought support from the philanthropist.
Six women accused New York billionaire Michael Steinhardt of sexual harassment in a New York Times report published Thursday.
The Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life called the Times report"intentionally defamatory." In a statement on its website, the foundation said, however, Steinhardt's"sense of humor can be insensitive, and he has apologized for the unintended bad feelings his remarks have caused." The website includes a statement from the billionaire, who denies ever trying to touch anyone inappropriately.
