Wynn Resorts is denying multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault by founder Steve Wynn described in a Wall Street Journal report that sent shares of the casino company tumbling more than 10 per cent Friday. (Andrew Gombert/Reuters)In a lengthy statement, Wynn and his company both attributed the allegations to a campaign led by his ex-wife, Elaine Wynn. "The conduct of Elaine during the course of the pending lawsuits has been shocking and deeply disturbing to me personally and as the CEO of Wynn Resorts," Wynn said. Devon Spurgeon, a spokeswoman for Elaine Wynn, declined to comment on the allegations in the Journal or those of her ex-husband. Wynn Resorts Ltd. said there has never been a complaint made about Wynn to the company's independent hotline for reporting harassment.
