Well this guy is a creep. I'm sure she wasn't the only one he was molesting.

Zarini’s suit alleges that Ruffalo, a music-industry player who worked with Prince and Earth, Wind & Fire, established a pattern of abuse that spanned from when she was around 6 years old until she was around 22. She claims he regularly got into bed naked with her, fondled her and attempted to penetrate her with his hands. The filing adds that he would also expose his own genitals to her and rub them against her.
Zarini claims that Patricia not only allowed Ruffalo’s behavior but that both Patricia and Palombo threatened her to keep her quiet.
When Zarini was around 16, the suit claims, her grandmother asked her if Ruffalo was molesting her. When she responded in the affirmative, Palombo told her to keep it a secret. She says she ultimately confronted her mother, who also silenced her. Per the filing, Gucci and Palombo “tried to avoid, at all costs, what they perceived would be a scandal that could tarnish the Gucci name and potentially cost them millions.”
