Ex-Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg spent $13K on lingerie during Europe trip, told aide to come to bed on private jet: book

Former Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg spent $13,000 on lingerie for herself and a young female assistant during a trip to Europe — and exhorted her to “come to bed” during a private jet flight on the way home, according to an explosive new memoir.The bombshell claims were made in a book published by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook employee who wrote about the seven years she spent at the tech giant in her book titled “Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism.”During a long drive through Europe, Sandberg and her 26-year-old assistant took turns sleeping in each other’s laps and stroking each other’s hair, Wynn-Williams alleged in the explosive tell-all.During the trip, Sandberg instructed Wynn-Williams to purchase lingerie for both of them, regardless of cost — the final bill reaching $13,000, according to a book review published on Monday by the New York Times.According to the book review, a pajama-clad Sandberg grew visibly irritated when Wynn-Williams declined her offer to join her in “the only bed on the plane” during a flight home on a private jet.Williams left the company in 2017 — before it rebranded into Meta.“This is a mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” a Meta spokesperson told The Post.“Eight years ago, Sarah Wynn-Williams was fired for poor performance and toxic behavior, and an investigation at the time determined she made misleading and unfounded allegations of harassment.”The spokesperson added that “since then, she has been paid by anti-Facebook activists and this is simply a continuation of that work.”“Whistleblower status protects communications to the government, not disgruntled activists trying to sell books,” the Meta spokesperson said.Wynn-Williams also recalls Facebook’s top policy executive, Joel Kaplan, engaging in behavior that made her deeply uncomfortable, according to the review.
