Holy shit. Larry Mendte’s statement. This story finally got interesting again.
Let me explain. This whole episode started five years ago when Alycia Lane came to Philadelphia. Almost immediately, Dawn heard rumors that Alycia and I were a little too close and she should watch out.
The rumors were true. Alycia and I had a flirtatious, unprofessional, and improper relationship.
Dawn found proof of that relationship when she waited in my office on New Years Day 2005 and read emails that I had left out on my desk, emails between Alycia and me that confirmed her suspicions.
Dawn confronted me with the emails. I told her the truth. I told her I loved her, and I apologized. I then immediately stopped having long dinners with Alycia, staying out late with Alycia, and I stopped allowing her to come into my office to do her makeup everyday.
The relationship that was once close quickly turned into a personal feud.
Alycia Lane then became friends with others in the building, including the new General Manager. Suddenly, I had shows and responsibilities pulled away from me without explanation. The GM angrily confronted me one day and said that I was bad mouthing him. I was not. But, clearly, I was not on the list you want to be on with the new GM.
I found proof that it was Alycia who was undermining me when I saw an email she sent to management that she left up on the computer she uses on the set.
Then he goes on and on about how keylogger programs are available “too easily” on the Internet (sigh) and how he’s going to become a lecturer on how scary the Internet is. But, really, whatever, this first part is the best.
John comments: “I think the new Philly pickup line should be ‘Do you want to come to my office and do your makeup?’” I agree.

Alicia needs to work on her gold digging skills. You flirt with your doughy, unattractive boss, not your doughy, unattractive colleague.
I think it is sad that Larry now that he’s caught admits an improper relationship with Alicia. He is just trying to smear her again and I think it’s disgusting. Alicia is way out of his league and for that matter so is his poor wife.
He has already proven that he is the psycho here.
Why would you automatically assume that just because Mendte says he had an “improper relationship” with Alycia that he really did? This guy is an admitted liar and snoop who was obsessed with Lane. His whole statement seemed to be geared to smear her more, but he only offered innuendos, no facts. Why do you think that is? What is an improper relationship, anyway? Notice he didn’t say he was banging her, because that would be an actionable statement if it was false. Hard to prove what improper relationship means, so much harder to bring a successful suit against. Yet so many folks act like Mendte’s words are gospel. I’m sure in his mind he wanted her, she was nearly young enough to be his daughter, is smoking hot and made more money than him. But why, exactly, would she be presumed to want him? She’s into bleached-blond combovers, maybe?
I have seen no evidence ever that she had the hots for him.
