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

Source: ABC News/AP

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.

Trailer trash in the board room! Like Dicky Mellon Scaife and his trysts at Doug's Motel!

What a ugly ass face. When he was asked to step down it was kept very quiet bit I just knew it would come out some day. I don't expect to see this story in the Star news today.

What with the text messages and all.

:lol:

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.

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.

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

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:

I've always loved you!

I always thought my crush was unrequited! :loveya:

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.

well it's hard to brie good when it's open season on puns...

curdn't havarti said it better myself.... >

Yes, remember, Cheeses is the whey.

Chirpies is a canarial disease and totally un-tweetable

:hide:

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

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.

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.

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?

it is very attractive to lots of people.

Well, at least he's loaded.

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

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

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

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

He is a profesional alpha male

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

"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.

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

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

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

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!

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

wallet....

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

I had no idea its CEO was such a jerk.

He should be married to lorena bobbit!

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.

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.

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:

And buying them houses?

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!

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!

Maybe General Dynamics?

What a creepy, homely looking guy!

he's pulling in women by the hundred looking like that while i continue to sleep alone? money plays a bigger factor than i thought.....

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.
