Roehm
Wal-Mart has evidence to prove its claim that ousted executives Julie Roehm and Sean Womack had an extramarital affair, the retail giant claims (via MediaBuyerPlanner).
The company has "irrefutable and admissible evidence of the relationship," Wal-Mart representative Mona Williams is quoted by Adweek as saying. "I would not tell you this if we didn't know it was true." Wal-Mart apparently issued its statement to New York magazine.
Womack and Roehm were let go in December after they allegedly violated Wal-Mart's ethics codes, and Roehm has sued Wal-Mart, claiming the company breached her contract and damaged her reputation.
Wal-Mart says Roehm acted inappropriately with potential Wal-Mart agencies during a review process. The company's relationship with one of the agencies, Draft FCB, was also terminated. The other, The Martin Agency, was invited to bid for the review again, and won.
