Chicago Alderman Told Staff To Take Off Shirts For ‘Contest,’ Says Ex-Aide

 

Just days before voters decide whether they want Chicago Ald. “Proco” Joe Moreno to keep his seat in Chicago’s City Council, he’s facing a potentially damaging sexual harassment complaint from a former aide.

 

 

Belia Portillo, who handled social-media accounts for Moreno in 2014 and 2015, says he made highly inappropriate comments to staff who gathered at a bar after the gay pride parade on the North Side.

 

 

Now 27 and years removed from her time in government and politics, Portillo told WBEZ that Moreno said to her and other aides at the 2015 gathering, “OK, we’re gonna have a contest. Everyone’s gonna have to take off their shirts. The girls can keep their bras on. And if your body is better than mine, then you get a raise.”

 

Moreno did not respond to messages seeking comment. But a campaign spokesman for the alderman, David Ormsby, said Moreno categorically denies Portillo’s accusation.

 

 

“There’s nothing remotely true about the way that’s been described,” Ormsby said Tuesday. “Nothing remotely like that transpired.”

 

 

Portillo says everybody’s shirts stayed on during the post-parade staff gathering at El Jardin, a Mexican restaurant and bar in the Lakeview neighborhood, despite the alderman’s crass request.
