A San Diego woman who works as a Marilyn Monroe lookalike came forward Thursday to say Mayor Bob Filner grabbed her “derriere” at a fundraiser where she was hired to sing.
Emily Gilbert told San Diego TV station KSWB that she met Filner at the fundraiser shortly after he took office in 2012.
“He hugged me a little too closely,” she said, “and then put his arm around me and proceeded to slide his arm down and do a little grab on my derriere.”
Gilbert told the news station that she was embarrassed. She added that she “didn’t want to make a scene” when the incident occurred since the behavior was coming from the mayor.
