(OP's comment)

I've been in contact with quite a few LMG employees. Many have given me statements about the abuse and sexual harassment Madison endured while working there.

One of them also gave me a recording of this meeting that was never supposed to be released. This is my proof that I have talked to LMG employees and have sources inside. I post this as verification of that fact.

I cannot out these people or give direct quotes out of fear they will suffer consequences, but I hope they come forward publicly even if it means risking their careers.

I can tell you their accounts match hers. And even go into further detail. One person constantly was mentioned more than others, but she's not naming names so I won't either.

She is telling the truth.

This meeting kinda goes along with how she mentioned her being sexually harassed was regarded as he causing drama.

What I would expect:

Don't start the meeting by apologizing for being 'boring and corporate' as that sends out the wrong message.
Don't blame employees for bad company culture. A workplace where people are belittled, bullied, harassed, etc. doesn't just spring into being, it emerges due to neglect of basic HR needs.
Information on how you'll evaluate and change procedures, because they obviously aren't working.
Some sort of acknowledgement of psychological harm that has been done by bullying, gossip, etc., instead of just describing it as 'personal problems'.
Don't emphasize your own stated powerlessness. If you're the CEO, that's a devastating message for employees. If they get the impression that you're not in control, they will absolutely not feel safe.

I agree. It’s almost like it’s not HR briefing a serious topic. Maybe they should bring a 3rd party to evaluate their culture, procedures, and policies…
