> Citing the syndrome known as intimate partner abuse, the lawyers claim: “Mr Balwani was controlling with Ms Holmes, that Ms Holmes was isolated by Mr Balwani, that Mr Balwani was combative with Ms Holmes, and that Mr Balwani was often physically present in Ms Holmes’ office, all tactics that … are abuse tactics used by abusers.”

First off, I want to say that I am sorry to any survivors of abuse that have to see this.

Being "physically present in the CEO's office when you're the president is considered abusive now?

If she was really sleeping 18 hours a day on regular basis then Balwani was doing her a favor waking her up.
