HeadlineOct 03, 2019

Opera superstar Plácido Domingo said Wednesday he’s resigning as the director of the Los Angeles Opera, amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace spanning three decades.

Several say he forcibly kissed them or touched them without consent. In some cases, he called them incessantly at home, including late at night.
