Patrick Walsh is the CEO of Empire Holdings which controls TMPL Clubs, luxurious gyms in New York, Florida, and Puerto Rico. He is also the third largest investor in Truth Social, the infamously white-nationalist social media created to host a deplatformed Trump. He put in $6.2 million to give Trump a bullhorn and a claque. He has also been sued for sexual harassment by two women who worked at TMPL.
The women describe a similar use of his position as owner to force women to interact with him. One woman he allegedly insisted she be his personal trainer. She claims he groped her when they were at a dinner to work out issues at work. The other woman claims she was pressured into a relationship with Walsh.
