After he encouraged her to catch a movie in his building, they eventually met in New York. She grudgingly consented when he persuaded her to spend the night at his flat after the movie. Azalialexi claimed that despite her complaints, he continued to try to remove her clothing while he masturbated in front of her. After telling her repeatedly that he dreamt about getting her pregnant, he ultimately had unprotected intercourse with her.
She left Campbell’s flat at 3 a.m. to spend the night in a low-cost China Town hotel since she had nowhere else to go. Shortly after Rich made his resignation public, OTK released the following statement:
“Today we learned of troubling allegations made against one of our founders, Rich Campbell. Rich has resigned from OTK immediately.
