Quote from shortie:
HP said that Mr Hurdâs departure was precipitated by ânumerousâ expense violations, as well as his âclose personal relationshipâ with the woman, who had acted as a marketing contractor to the computer maker. It also alleged misuse of other corporate assets.
One person familiar with Mr Hurdâs position said he had no more than âhalf a dozenâ dinners with the contractor, and denied that the relationship had been inappropriate. This person also put any expense violations down to mistakes rather than any deliberate act, and said that Mr Hurd had made no attempt to hide expense claims that involved the contractor.

yeah, right! as if they fire CEOs for small "mistakes"![]()
Jodie Fisher, 50, knew Hurd through her contract jobs with HP's marketing department from 2007 to 2009. She was paid up to $5,000 per event to greet people and make introductions among executives attending HP events that she helped organize.
She appeared in some racy R-rated movies in her 30s and most recently was on a dating show called "Age of Love," in which women competed for the attention of tennis star Mark Philippoussis
