About this listen

They say you should never call your ex, but this episode explores why you shouldn’t mix romance with business either. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt didn’t just date Michelle Ritter. He built a company with her and folded her into his world of mansions, staff, and early stage deals. When the relationship soured, their attempt to settle things quietly blew up after Michelle said Schmidt was trying to silence her from speaking about abuse and stalking. He responded by cutting off her access to properties and systems and insisting her claims are false. Now Ritter has filed for a domestic violence restraining order, Schmidt’s lawyers are pushing to seal the case, and a December hearing could decide how much of their fight over money, power, and control becomes part of the public record.
