Former FTC commissioner Joshua Wright is under scrutiny for allegedly juggling inappropriate relationships and skirting conflicts of interest while acting as a consultant for major tech companies like Google, Amazon, Qualcomm, and Facebook. Wright, who also served as a law professor at George Mason University, maintained relationships with multiple women, including students, direct reports, and three mistresses. His actions have led to a three-part exposé by the Wall Street Journal, detailing his professional and personal misconduct. The series highlights Wright's affair with Elyse Dorsey, which ended in 2021, and his retaliatory lawsuit against women he admitted to sleeping with, raising questions about his influence and the potential consequences of his behavior.
