A former A&R says MacPherson assaulted her in 2005 while serving as president of music publisher Chrysalis, and then blacklisted her when she reported it.
Kenny MacPherson at The Art Of Collaboration: Songwriters & Music Publishers Making Music & History Together at The GRAMMY Museum on Oct. 20, 2016 in Los Angeles., a long-time music publishing executive, has been placed on a leave of absence from his job at Hipgnosis Songs Fund, the company tells, following the filing of a lawsuit that claims he sexually assaulted a staffer in 2005 while he ran another company.
“BMG stands solidly against all forms of discrimination, harassment, and abuse and we are shocked and dismayed by the allegations made by Sara Lewis,” the company said. Lewis claims the harassment escalated into outright assault during a 2005 trip to Chicago to visit a newly-signed artist. After “plying her with alcohol” during a concert, she says he then “insisted that he and Sara have another drink in Sara’s hotel room” and eventually “professed his love” to her. When she says she “reiterated that she did not share these feelings,” he then “forced himself” on her.
