Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has been sued by his sister, Ann Altman, in a federal court, alleging nearly a decade of sexual abuse. As reported by Bloomberg, Ann Altman, 30, claims that the abuse and manipulation took place during their childhood in Missouri, spanning the late 1990s to early 2000s. The lawsuit, filed on Monday, asserts that the abuse began when she was just three years old, with the last alleged incident occurring when Sam Altman was an adult, and she was still a minor. Ann Altman has previously made similar allegations against her brother on social media.
Sam Altman, 39, posted a statement on behalf of himself, his mother and brothers on X on Tuesday, calling the claims “utterly untrue.”
“This situation causes immense pain to our entire family,” the statement read.
Sam Altman said, “Annie continues to demand more money from us.” His statement alleged, “Over the years, we’ve tried in many ways to support Annie and help her find stability, following professional advice on how to be supportive without enabling harmful behaviors.”
“To give a sense of our efforts, we have given her monthly financial support, directly paid her bills, covered her rent, helped her find employment opportunities, attempted to get her medical help, and have offered to buy her a house through a trust [so that she would have a secure place to live, but not be able to sell it immediately]. Via our late father’s estate, Annie receives monthly financial support, which we expect to continue for the rest of her life,” the statement read.
It added, “…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.”
