I dont know whether what i heard refers to this specific incident, but i remember hearing about RMS asking someone out on a date, and after a rejection, he threatened to kill himself if she won’t go out with him [0].
And that’s not mentioning his infamous mattress in the office and how he propositioned to many of the female visitors to lay down on it topless [1] (i realize that i am citing reddit comments, but the OP seems pretty credible). This would be a problematic behavior for virtually anyone, but moreso for a public figure at a prestigious university.
