The phrase, "Oops, somebody spilled the party dip," comes to mind whenever showbiz execs get into uncomfortable situations. Now ABC News is reporting that "a vice president of NBC Universal" is lumped in with CEOs and bankers for using corporate credit cards to pay for prostitutes. The whistle-blower is a NYC madam who ratted out her 9,800 clients of one of that city's biggest and priciest escort services until it was busted last year. But prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office chose not to pursue any of the corporate types even though they allegedly committed fraud. Davis provided ABC News with a print-out of her computerized client list, the same one she says that was offered to the DA.

These guys really are’t tech savvy huh? Everyone knows you can find some trim on either facebook or myspace. The fact that they are still using such antiquated services such as a madam shows just how out of touch these guys really are.
Since she was at the high end of the business, the people she had as customers would run in the same party circuit as the DA’s office and other government officials.
So, I wonder if this is going to attract one percent of the vitriol and finger-wagging directed at Christian Bale? I can imagine one or two shareholders, and hundreds of folks who’ve been laid off, who would have just cause to be be getting Bale-istic on the nearest NBC Uni executive.
trim?
SHOCKED!! SHOCKED, I AM!!! That anyone from a network as prestigious and revered as NBC could be involved with prostitutes is beyond belief. No sir, I will not believe it. Whats next, wild cocaine fueled pool parties with scantily clad prost-… actresses, caged tigers and the LAPD being called at 5 AM? Wait, that did happen. Never mind.
I just wanna know why the Networks employee anyone so absolutely dumb as to use a credit card, and not cash, to hire a hooker. What a moron.
I’m dead serious when I say I am shocked that any NBC exec had the
huevos to get a prostitute, not to mention on several occasions.
I’d LOVE to know who it is.
But, please God, let it be…
I am shocked and appalled to hear this!!
Doesn’t this fellow know that it’s NBC corporate policy that you are only allowed to charge hookers to NBC when it’s for advertisers, honoured guests, or superior executives!
If not, you must pay for your own game of French Maid & the Naughty Master.
Where’s the integrity?
:p
Well we should find out who it is pretty shortly, if they used the corporate credit card then they pretty much have to be fired otherwise NBC will get a massive lawsuit if they sack anybody for defrauding them while leaving this person untouched.
doesn’t take huevos to get a hooker. just a desperate need to feel in charge!
that said – does take huevos to stick it on the company card (or a tiny brain).
And I thought it was execs working for the network who were the whores, not the ones hiring them.
Geez i wonder who it could be…?
“Huevos” I do not think you know what the word means.
Could you perhaps mean cahones? ‘Cause huevos means eggs.
Okay, I work at NBC Uni and I just had charges from “The Hollywood Reporter” and “The LA Times” rejected by my corporate card because they weren’t on the “approved vendor list.”
Are you really telling me that HOOKERS are on the “approved vendor list?”
What society are we living in that allows this asinine behavior? SERIOUSLY?!
Now this has tarnished NBC image further. But abuse a corporate credit card this way? It raises questions and ethics within there own corporate. Just think how some is GE are reacting to this? Not to mention accountability.
