Penguin Random House pulled plans to publish a book co-written by venture capitalist John Doerr and BetterWorks Systems Inc. Chief Executive Officer Kris Duggan following a sexual harassment and assault suit against Duggan.
Beatrice Kim, a former employee at BetterWorks, last week sued Duggan and two other executives at the startup, alleging they created a hostile workplace for women. The suit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, includes allegations of sexual assault and harassment.
