Why wouldn't she find another job if it was so terrible working for him? Or report the rape to the frickin police? She's an idiot.

Or atleast try to set up a hidden camera somewhere so there's visual evidence. That and naughtybutfamous.com needs more uploads.:??:

another money hungry bitch, big shock there.

That's odd, the only illegitimate thing I ever thought Shelby did was run a fraudulent charity,jmo.
there isn't ANY proof that there was any skimming going on at his charity. there is PLENTY of proof that he sucks as a business man though(like the automotive branch crashing and burning until he brought in mattel's former CEO). fraud:nonono:
Should have always kept it that way. I have more pride for SVT within Ford than an old man that just wants $ to attach his name to something.

Ford couldn't even use the gt40 nameplate on their Ford Gt, because Shelby wanted too much money.
1. SVT went after him - blame SVT for the huge price tag.

2. "A British company, Safir Engineering, who made continuation GT40s in the 1980s owned the GT40 trademark at that time, and when they completed production, they sold the excess parts, tooling, design, and trademark to a small American company called Safir GT40 Spares based in Ohio. Safir GT40 Spares licensed the use of the GT40 trademark to Ford for the initial 2002 show car, but when Ford decided to make the production vehicle, negotiations between the two failed, and as a result the new Ford GT does not wear the badge GT40. It is rumored that Safir GT40 Spares asked $40 million dollars for the rights, but this has never been verified. The partners at Safir GT40 Spares state they have correspondence from Ford declining Safir's $8 million offer. Later models or prototypes have also been called the Ford GT but have had different numbering on them such as the Ford GT90 or the Ford GT70. The GT40 name is currently licensed for use by the Pathfinder Motorsports GT40/R Competition, which is built by Hi-Tech in South Africa, which also builds street version models of the GT40."

but hey, who cares about facts! shelby is a greedy old man!!!

Those were the first two questions I asked myself when I read this report. Doesn't make any sense. For sure there is a lot more to this story than the accuser is saying. People with a lot of money are targets for people like this, because often the accused just doesn't want to go through a trial (for multiple reasons even if they are 100% innocent) so it's easier to settle and move on.

Who knows if it's true or not, but I think it's funny that people here think this guy wouldn't be capable of committing such a crime...

Go on to the registered sex offenders website and look at how many old, skevy, pervy guys are on there.

Yes, even your role models and heroes are not innocent.

I don't believe her claims for a second, but I do think that his name should be removed from the new GT500.

QFT.... Ford is the one who went to HIM. Not the other way around. They wanted the "Shelby" name as a marketing tool. Of course he wanted a cut for them to use HIS name- duh!! wouldn't you?

Sheesh- if you all don't like products with the "Shelby" name don't buy it! It's not really all that complicated is it?:shrug:

Automotive legend Carroll Shelby -- the guy who designed the Ford Mustang Cobra -- has been sued by a former receptionist who claims the 88-year-old sexually assaulted her ... and also ignored her complaints when she told him she was raped by one of his employees.

According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Angelica Smith claims she began working for Shelby back in 2005 as a receptionist ... but was treated as a "personal servant" ... with Shelby often forcing her to go out on "grocery runs, liquor runs, pornography runs."

In the docs, Smith claims Shelby ran a "pervasively hostile work environment" ... and "on at least one occasion, Shelby himself sexually battered [Smith] by groping her" at his home.

Smith claims things got worse in December 2010, alleging she was drugged and raped at Shelby's home by a man who worked for Shelby.

Smith claims she reported the incident to Shelby himself -- but he "did not take any corrective action."

Instead, Smith claims, she was fired -- partly out of retaliation for reporting the rape to Shelby.

Smith is suing Shelby, Shelby's companies and the alleged rapist -- and she wants more than $5 million in damages.

Thanks for posting this up for me ;)

Regardless of the few on here that say they wish Ford would drop the Shelby badging, there is many, many more out there that buy the car because of that name. It's sad, but that is a fact that the marketing division knew very well, and why they were willing to buy into the trademark. It's no different than companies that spend millions just to have some schmuck ball player wear their products for advertising. I have had more than one person say to me "Oh, I thought your car was a Shelby. Too bad it isn't, because then you would have something!" I guess it suddenly makes my Terminator nothing because it doen't have Shelby lettering across the hood.:shrug:

with regard to the lawsuit, I feel that the truth lies somewhere between the "victim's" allegations, and what really happened. I have no doubt that some inappropriate stuff may have occurred there because Shelby is very old school, and comes from a time when this stuff was not only very common, but was just considered normal. I have no love for Shelby after seeing the b.s. he put Factory Five Racing through in the '90's with his multiple trademark lawsuits, but in this case, he is most likely being targeted because of deep pockets, and a created opportunity. Karma is a bitch as they say...;-)

Porn is excessive, but I see no problem whatsoever with having her do personal errands. If he was paying her, what does it matter? One of my old bosses told me to take his king ranch to the store, buy his son a birthday present, and wrap it for him when I got back.

Really? So what about all the old people molesting kids? Just because he can't get it up doesn't mean he still can't be turned on.


True, but from the way I interpreted the allegations, Shelby himself didn't rape her anyway. He is being sued for "looking the other way" when one of his employees raped her by not doing anything about it after it was reported. It did say he "groped" her, but that can be anything from a slap on the butt, to a full scale pin her down, and feel her up kind of thing, so either way, even though it may have been inappropriate touching, HE still didn't rape her himself.

I really wish someone could post pics of the alleged victim so SVTPerf. could critique the photos and decide whether it happened or not!:rolling::-D

my problem is the extent of the claims, not who the accused is. how anyone could think that this doesn't just sound absurd in the least is beyond me. sure, it's in the realm of possibility, but there is a shit load of stretching going on here.
