My Story: Melissa Weishaupt Goes on the Record About Mavs’ Culture of Harassment

Last month former Mavericks president Terdema Ussery was presented with allegations that he had sexually harassed multiple women while he held that position.

In response he said this: “I am deeply disappointed that anonymous sources have made such outright false and inflammatory accusations against me.”

Let’s tackle that issue of anonymity. I worked in marketing and game operations for the Mavs from 2010 through ’14. I was one of the women Terdema harassed and who spoke to Sports Illustrated for the story. My name is Melissa Weishaupt.

As is the case for so many females, the #MeToo movement has had relevance and resonance for, well, me too.
