Months After Firing, CEO's Messy Romances Revealed (And STDs)

[RamboLiberal]

David Colby was one of corporate America's most admired executives before he was abruptly fired last spring for what was vaguely described at the time as misconduct of a "non-business nature." Now details about his personal life are spilling out, and it's clear he was more than just Wall Street's darling.

In a cluster of lawsuits gathered up by The Associated Press, the former chief financial officer of health insurance giant WellPoint Inc. is depicted as a corporate Casanova  a world-class, love-'em-and-leave-'em sort of guy who romanced dozens of women around the country simultaneously, made them extravagant promises and then went back on his word with all the compassion of a health insurance company denying a claim.

One woman says Colby got her pregnant and harangued her via text message ("ABORT!!") to terminate the pregnancy. He also allegedly gave some of his girlfriends sexually transmitted diseases, and proposed to at least 12 women since 2005.

The allegations are contained in lawsuits filed before and after Colby's departure by three women who say they were ill-used by the businessman.

Colby and his attorneys have refused to comment, though in court papers he has disputed some of the allegations, and one of the lawsuits was thrown out a few months ago by a judge who found insufficient grounds for legal action.

Three women say they were romantically involved with Colby, 54, and contend he was a corporate Casanova, sparking romance around the country and carrying on concurrent relationships with more than 30 women in the last half of 2007 alone.

[Sadie5]

3. I remember this

[Hugin]

5. Charming too...

What with the text messages and all.

:lol:

[ikojo]

34. It's not like he had to show up at the office

on a daily basis. It's the people far down on the corporate food chain who do the work to make these people insanely wealthy.

[shain from kane]

2. Goudarrhea or swissilis?

Did you know...
People who form sexual obsessions with cheese are known as cheddarsexuals, and may be at high risk for certain cheese-related diseases, such as goudarrhea and swissilis.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. That is whey out of line. The Cheeseheads if Curdistan will get revenge for this.

Make your piece with Cheeses--you have nowhere to churn.

[intheflow]

24. Ooh, that 's bad!

Those are some of the worst puns I've read in a long time. :spank:

But then, I like that that kind of stuff. :evilgrin:

[Jackpine Radical]

41. Grated on you, huh?

[Binka]

42. Ouch That Bleu Cheese!

:hi: I've always loved you!

[Jackpine Radical]

49. I never knew...

I always thought my crush was unrequited! :loveya:

[Binka]

51. Oh My You Never Knew I loved You? I Have Since 2001.

Two of my kids live in cheese land. I always think of you when they call. :loveya: back JR. I changed my name on DU back in 2005 after Ben went to Iraq if you want I will PM you with my original name. You will remember me.

[keroro gunsou]

59. funny that...

[BrotherBuzz]

25. He could have been into birds and contracted Chirpies...

Chirpies is a canarial disease and totally un-tweetable

:hide:

[Mnemosyne]

26. You think that's something to crow about, BB?!

:spank:

[Jackpine Radical]

56. Nothing to crow about. His hennemies are cackling, no doubt.

The guy's just one big goose egg, robin the nest with all those chicks. Just can't keep his cock under control.

[SquireJons]

4. LMAO

I was working at Wellpoint last summer when he quit. Was replaced by a woman... first woman CEO of a major health insurance provider. Funny how much clearer things are when they come into focus.

Gowd, I still remember his droning, blathering voice mail broadcasts. Hard to believe he could seduce even one women, really.

[PSPS]

7. Check out that house behind the woman holding the portrait.

Maybe that's how he 'seduced' the women -- gave them these mansions on enormous tracts of land, paid for with your insurance premiums, of course.

[Deja Q]

52. And our insurance premiums helping him get the treatment for getthing his DISEASE by CHOICE.

Forgive me for the all caps bit, but it is disconcerting...

If aerobic instructors are supposed to look an act a certain way, why can't execs? People learn by example, surely?

[jamesinca]

43. it is called money

it is very attractive to lots of people.

[Hobarticus]

6. Ewwww...looks like John Gibson's ugly brother

Well, at least he's loaded.

[MADem]

31. YES--that's it--the odd hair, those picket fence teeth! nt

[ikojo]

35. Hey, if he's romancing 12 women he ust

be loaded in more ways than one......:shrug:

[lonestarnot]

8. Clap clap clap.

:applause:

[Demeter]

10. Did You Post That As a Double Entendre / Innuendo?

Or are you just innocently applauding the guy's get up and go?

[ladywnch]

9. hard to believe he had any time to do his job!!!

and yeah, he is nasty looking....the Gibson reference is dead on!

EEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
:puke:

[DBoon]

27. This IS his job

He is a profesional alpha male

You don't think top corporate executive actually WORK for their money?

[devilgrrl]

11. Wow! He's hot! Hubba Hubba!

:sarcasm: :puke:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. Gloria Vanderbilt said it best:

"There is no such thing as an ugly rich man".

In the real world, that guy couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of 50's.

[pattmarty]

13. Well, he sure ain't the handsomest mother fucker in the world.

[LiberalFighter]

14. Hmm Hoosier family values? I wonder if he is buddy buddy with Mitch Daniels?

[NJCher]

15. What a cocksman!

Here's the May 2007 business story from Bloomberg telling about his dismissal.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aJiD0VuMHAo0&refer=home

What cracks me up is the name of the CEO to whom he reported: Larry C. Glasscock. Maybe Mr. Glasscock isn't so big on transparency in matters of cocksmanship.



Cher

[customerserviceguy]

17. Ha!

Great find, thanks for doing the googling, and the wordsmithing!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

40. People shouldn't throw stones at Mr. Glasscock.

[Deja Q]

53. What a cockup...

:hide:

[yardwork]

16. ...and some people claim that queer people are perverts.

Honestly.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

18. Double-bagger.

ICK!!!!

[rasputin1952]

19. OK...I have to ask...Were all of these women blind?

I've seen week old Colbey cheese under the fridge that looked better than this guy!


Good Lord...I now have a chance with the female persuasion...if standards have dropped this low, I'm a Friggin' god!

:D

[ikojo]

37. Not blind to what he kept in his pants

pocket....the back pocket that is....they knew exactly the SIZE of his










wallet....

[rasputin1952]

38. LOL...How true...

wonder if that holds true for Fred Thompson as well...:evilgrin:

[Frances]

20. WellPoint provides my drug coverage

I had no idea its CEO was such a jerk.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. He must have a huge severance package.

;)

[DBoon]

28. Severance package?

He should be married to lorena bobbit!

[rjones2818]

23. Off to the Greatest Page with you!

:rofl:

You have to feel sorry for the women, of course. But, being that Indiana is a major religious state, it's pretty funny in it's own sad way.

[blitzen]

29. "pudgy," according to AP....a bit of an understatement

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22844772/

By all accounts, the 54-year-old Colby — a pudgy, bespectacled figure with salt-and-pepper hair — charmed attractive women by showering them with compliments and gifts. While at least one of his accusers was a WellPoint underling, it appears he met many of the other women outside of work, via online dating sites, and he has not been accused of workplace sexual harassment.

[MADem]

32. Look at the bay window on that fat slob!!! nt

[rasputin1952]

39. Interesting....look at the "painting" on the easel, back right...

:D

This guy has the hallmarks of "Sugardaddy", but I really have to wonder about the...no, I won't go there...too much for the mind that has not been caffeinated to the point of normalcy.

FWIW..."pudgy" is not an appropriate nor accurate description of this guy...:eyes:

[MADem]

30. What women would go for that? That guy is UGLY. nt

[cutlassmama]

33. Have the same thought!

[PassingFair]

46. Did you miss the part about him giving them money?

And buying them houses?

[Chovexani]

48. Ain't enough money on Earth

:puke:

[PassingFair]

50. Sounds like he preyed on vulnerable women

snip>She says she soon broke her lease at his urging, with plans to move into his Lake Sherwood home. She says she stopped searching for ways to afford the brain surgery her severely epileptic 6-year-old son needed after Colby promised to pay. Then, she says, she got pregnant, and the text messages abruptly changed tone.

Homes, hundreds of thousands of dollars, surgeries,
he promised them ANYTHING!

What a creepazoid!

[llmart]

57. Agree!

That is one disgusting porker! I'd rather be poor.
Looks like he suffers from Dunlop's Disease - his belly dun lops over his belt!

[MetaTrope]

36. So what company is putting him in charge next?

Maybe General Dynamics?

[JBoy]

44. This guy was all up in many houses with disease!

[Chovexani]

47. LMAO

:yourock:

[Raven]

45. That lady's taste was all in her mouth!

What a creepy, homely looking guy!

[Blue_Tires]

55. ffs

[Nevernose]

58. I sometimes get confused between my daughter and my chihuahua

How the hell do you keep 30 different love affairs straight in your head? I don't even know where I put my car keys, and I've put them in the same spot every single day for three years in a row.
