Emma Sulkowicz Is a Vindictive, Dishonest and Crazy Slut — Allegedly

Posted on | April 24, 2015 | 196 Comments

That word “allegedly” is important to add because all I’m doing is giving a thumbnail summary of what Paul Nungesser alleges in his federal lawsuit against Columbia University, its president Lee Bollinger and Professor Jon Kessler. They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, and Nungesser has served up a buffet of revenge on Emma “Mattress Girl” Sulkowicz. She tried and failed to get Nungesser expelled from Columbia with what was, according to his lawsuit, a false rape accusation. When that failed, allegedly, Sulkowicz convinced two other Columbia students to accuse Nungesser of sexual misconduct and both of those accusations also failed. That’s when, with the approval Professor Kessler, Sulkowicz began her “performance art” project, carrying a mattress around the Columbia campus to publicize her accusations against Nungesser, despite the fact that he had been completely cleared of wrongdoing.

Now, if we ponder every possible avenue by which Paul Nungesser could (a) vindicate his reputation, (b) possibly collect a large cash settlement, and (c) deliver a brutal payback to Sulkowicz for her effort to destroy him, I doubt he could have done better than what he has done: Instead of suing Sulkowicz, he sues Columbia. Why?

  1. Columbia’s endowment is reported at $9.2 billion — that’s billion with a “b” — which means they may (and probably should) decide that quietly paying Nungesser a couple of million bucks is a small price to pay for ridding themselves of this bad publicity.
  2. Suing Columbia calls attention to how the university violated its own policy by permitting Sulkowicz to breach the confidentially requirements of the university’s sexual misconduct hearing process and, indeed, by endorsing this breach through Professor Kessler’s role in Sulkowicz’s “performance art” project.
  3. Most of all, by not naming Sulkowicz as a defendant, this means that Sulkowicz does not have cause to respond to the allegations he makes against her in the Columbia lawsuit, and guess what? You can’t be sued for defamation because of allegations made in a lawsuit.

In other words, if Nungesser had said some of these things during an interview with a reporter — e.g., that Sulkowicz contracted chlamydia after she had sex with two guys at a party — maybe she could have sued him for defamation. And if he had named her as a defendant, they could have fought it out in court. As it is, all this negative stuff about her is now a matter of public record: “Nungesser said X, Y and Z,” and there isn’t a damned thing she can do to prevent anyone from quoting it.

There is plenty of legitimate basis for Nungesser suing Columbia, but it’s the irreparable damage his suit will do to Sulkowicz (and her clearly dubious claim that he raped her) which is the real news here. Of course, Sulkowicz doesn’t get it, providing this clueless quote to the Columbia student newspaper:

“It’s ridiculous that he would read it as a ‘bullying strategy,’ especially given his continued public attempts to smear my reputation, when really it’s just an artistic expression of the personal trauma I’ve experienced at Columbia. If artists are not allowed to make art that reflect on our experiences, then how are we to heal?”

Sweetheart, you are done. Finished. Over. Maybe you don’t realize it yet, but you will never recover from this, not ever.

Be sure to read paragraphs 16, 18 and 26 — especially 26 — and don’t miss the footnote at the bottom of page 7.

“Punch back twice as hard,” indeed.

    You know, I had the same thoughts about her surname and her father’s given name. But I assume Kerry Sulcowicz is Jewish because he’s a psychiatrist and married to a Chinese woman. This could be wrong. The Kerry business gives me pause, but I go 66% with Jewish. Whatever. Emma S. is racially mixed and it’s un-PC to point out (even in a conservative blog) that being racially mixed is a situation where parents have to be realistic about the confusion this will cause in a child. It’s fact.

    Amy Chua, who is brutally realistic in many ways, is in denial about this. I’ve read all of her books and at different points she says that her daughters are “Chinese” but they were raised Jewish. (Really, the “Jewish lite” that is Reform – which is not Judaism, but that’s another story.)

    “Hint, courses in studio art are commonly courses in rubbish these days.”

    They’ve been rubbish since the 1950s when Abstract Expressionism replaced traditional drawing skills. I took studio art in the 1980s and they were rubbish then. If you want to learn traditional drafting, you need to go to a commercial school, where these skills never died out.

    The more prestigious the art department, the worse it is, trust me on this.

    You say that private school is worthless, but I don’t know. If what you want is an expensive finishing school education, an Ivy degree is worth it.

    How long a society can go on producing these useless minor aristocrats is another story but in the meantime, if you can afford it, the Ivy degree is a valuable asset.

    So…. am I the only one who wonders about the family background of this troubled liar/ fame addict? It is indelicate to say this I am sure but Ms. Sulkowicz does not have the physical attributes that name implies. One wonders what her family background is and how that might play a factor

    The Strait of Dardenelles (or the Hellespont) is the traditional deviding line between Asia and Europe, along with the Ural and Caucasus Mountains. Syria is in Africa? Seriously? You wrote that? The Suez Canal is the traditional dividing line between Africa and Asia.

    Not merely a hypothesis. Birds of a feather and all that. The authoritarian mindset is the common point of recognition. Bob Altemeyer a psychologist and professor at the U. of Manitoba has published a book in PDF at: http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~altemey/ It is not an easy read, but it is free, recent and topical. The title is The Authoritarians. FYI
