According to a former colleague, both HP and Juniper’s human resources departments have investigated him for sexual harassment.
He was vice president of communications at Hewlett-Packard Company from 2008 to 2010 and the same role at Juniper Networks from 2010 to 2012, the report said.
It is unclear whether he left his previous company because of the allegations. Through his lawyers, he has denied all wrongdoing and said the charges were a distraction from the trial.
Depp, 58, is suing Heard, 36, for $50 million over a Washington Post op-ed she said was a victim of domestic abuse. Hurd is countersuing for $100 million, accusing Depp of conspiring with his lawyers to defame her, calling her allegations a “scam.”
Both sides battle in Fairfax County Circuit Court Virginiatheir respective PR teams have struggled to control the narrative.
But now Shane has to spin himself. Former model Hollie Doker, 32, told the paper that Sean took her out on two dates in late 2018 after the two met on the dating app Raya.

“That’s when he started to get super aggressive and he pushed my head down in that direction [his crotch]. I told him no and I stood up. He got pissed and said, ‘I’ll call you a fucking Uber. ‘”
Doker said she filed a complaint with Raya, which removed Shane’s account. Raya declined to comment to the Daily Mail.
“David Shane vehemently denies Hollie Doker’s allegations, which are in huge conflict with the original account that Ms. Doker posted more than three years ago,” Shane’s attorney, Rebecca Kaufman, told Fox News Digital.
