The declaring asserts that the violent tasks occurred “several times per week,” start with foreplay and later on entailing infiltration.
The suit asserts that “as a direct and proximate result of the foregoing acts of sexual assault,” the complainant has actually experienced “severe emotional distress, mental anguish, and depression, which is expected to continue into the future.”
The more youthful Altman has actually openly made comparable sexual offense accusations versus her sibling in the past on platforms like X, yet this is the very first time she’s taken him to court. She’s being stood for by Ryan Mahoney, whose Illinois- based company concentrates on issues consisting of sexual offense and harassment.
The suit demands a court test and problems over of $75,000.
In a joint statement on X with his mom, Connie, and his bros Jack and Max, Sam Altman rejected the accusations.
“Annie has made deeply hurtful and entirely untrue claims about our family, and especially Sam,” the declaration claimed. “We’ve chosen not to respond publicly, out of respect for her privacy and our own. However, she has now taken legal action against Sam, and we feel we have no choice but to address this.”
Their feedback states “all of these claims are utterly untrue,” including that “this situation causes immense pain to our entire family.” They claimed that Ann Altman encounters “mental health challenges” and “refuses conventional treatment and lashes out at family members who are genuinely trying to help.”

Musk, that currently runs a completing AI start-up, xAI, was a founder of OpenAI when it started as a not-for-profit in 2015. Musk left the board in 2018 and has actually openly slammed OpenAI for supposedly deserting its initial goal.
