Former Facebook director Sheryl Sandberg is accused of making a steaming Italian work trip with a female intern, who has spent no less than $ 13,000 in lingerie before she asks her to 'come to bed' – a statement that Seryl denies.
The shocking allegations came to light in a new book 'CONSELESS People: A Lutionary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism,' written by ex-Facebook employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.
In the memoirs, Wynn -Williams, who served former director of Global Public Policy on Facebook, writes about her experience after six years at the Tech Giant, and explosive accusations about Sandberg – who firmly denies the company.
She accused Sandberg of publishing $ 13,000 on lingerie during a lush European travel she asked her to 'come to bed' on the private jet trip when Wynn-Williams was a 26-year-old intern.
Wynn-Williams claimed that Sandberg instructed her to buy lingerie for both without budget restrictions, according to an assessment published by the New York Times on Monday.
Sheryl Sandberg was married to Dave Goldberg from 2004 until his death in 2015. He had a heart arithm's and died after a serious head injury in a resort gymnastics while he was found on a family vacation in Mexico and was found in a stack of blood, with Sandberg and their family meeting behind.
In another explosive claim, Wynn-Williams claimed that she and Sandberg took turns in each other's rounds and stroked each other's ride through Europe.
The memoirs also claim that Sandberg became visibly irritated when Wynn-Williams rejected her invitation to come up with her in 'the only bed on the plane' during their flight home on a private jet.

The memoirs of Wynn-Williams do not stop at Sandberg. She also accused the top policy of Facebook, Joel Kaplan, and claimed that he had behaved inappropriate for her.
Kaplan is said to have reported Wynn-Williams on a dance floor during a work event, and said she looked 'sultry'.
But Meta, Facebook's parent company, has denied that these claims have told DailyMail.com that Wynn-Williams was fired for 'bad performance' and 'toxic behavior'.
“This book is a mix of outdated and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our managers,” a spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
They said that the claims of Wynn-Williams were at that time rejected and determined to be 'unfounded accusations of intimidation'.
“Eight years ago, Sarah Wynn-Williams was fired due to poor performance and toxic behavior, and an investigation at that time noted that she made misleading and unfounded accusations of intimidation.”
'Since then she has been paid for by anti-Facebook activists and this is just a continuation of that work. Whistleblower status protects communication for the government, no dissatisfied activists trying to sell books. '
The book also portrays CEO Mark Zuckerberg as transforming from a coding enthusiast in an executive obsessed with politics and public worship.
During an Asian tour, Wynn-Williams claims that she was told to arrange a crowd that would have more than a million more people to ensure that Zuckerberg was 'gently harassed'.

She also writes about the alleged secret attempts of Facebook to enter the Chinese market through a project called 'Aldrin', with partnerships, censorship tools and proposals for sharing data.
Wynn-Williams referred to Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg as Tom and Daisy, the 'carefree people' in 'The Great Gatsby'.
She quotes the novel in her epigraaf, 'things broken and beings' and 'lets other people clean up the mess they had made'.
In response to these claims, the Meta spokesperson confirmed: 'We don't work our services in China today. It is no secret that we were once interested in it as part of Facebook's efforts to connect the world. '
“This is all pushed by an employee who was terminated for poor performance eight years ago,” the spokesperson continued.
“This was widely reported that I started ten years ago. We finally chose not to continue with the ideas we had investigated, which Mark Zuckerberg announced in 2019. '
Some former colleagues also dispute the claims in the memoirs of Wynn-Williams.
A former Facebook employee, Sarah Feinberg, went to social media to defend her former employers and to question the Wynn-William account.

'I left Facebook/Meta more than ten years ago to return to the government service, so it's a minute ago … but this book overlaps all my years there, and the author was one of my colleagues.
“Although everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion and their own experience, I recognize this report of the company, his leaders or not my time there,” Feinberg wrote about Threads.
She said she was at many of the same event and worked on many of the same project – but “these descriptions are simply not even close.”
She also defended her ex -colleague Kaplan and said, “He was one of my close colleagues – and I never saw that he was anything different than professional, attentive, strategic and honest.”
Another employee, Campbell Brown, wrote: 'I have known Joel Kaplan for more than 20 years and worked closely with him during my time at Meta. He is one of the most professional, attentive and friendly people I know. '
“He was a mentor for me and for many others. I don't know the author, but the claims in this book seem to be disconnected from reality.
“Disappointingly but not surprising that neither the publisher nor the reporter took the trouble to check facts before they spread these claims.”
