Jodie Fisher Age of Love actress is the woman at the center of the sexual harassment claim that forced the resignation of Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Mark Hurd.
The 50-year-old actress and businesswoman knew Hurd through her contract jobs with HP’s marketing department from 2007 to 2009. HP paid her up to $5,000 per event to greet people and make introductions among executives attending HP events that she helped organize.
In the statement, Jodie Fisher described her relationship with Mark Hurd: “I first met Mark in 2007 when I interviewed for a contractor job at the company. At HP, I was under contract to work at high-level customer and executive summit events held around the country and 
abroad. I prepared for those events, worked very hard and enjoyed working for HP. I have resolved my claim with Mark privately, without litigation, and I do not intend to comment on it further.”
That sexual harassment claim set off, when Mark Hurd did submit false expenses and that Fisher had received payment for which there wasn’t a legitimate business purpose. Hurd paid Fisher an undisclosed amount to settle her claim against him.
The actress acknowledged that she and Hurd have settled the matter. A person familiar with the case told The Associated Press that Hurd agreed to pay Fisher but would not reveal the size of the payment.
