The sister of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman filed a lawsuit this week accusing her brother of repeatedly sexually abusing her when she was a minor. Ann Altman, now 31, filed the suit in Missouri, saying the abuse started when she was 3 years old.
Sam Altman shot to fame in recent years as OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform became one of the world’s most-used websites. Under Altman’s leadership, OpenAI reached a funding deal valuing the company at over $150 billion.
Ann Altman has made similar claims and accusations on social media for years.
Her lawsuit states she experienced PTSD and severe mental health issues from the alleged abuse.
The BBC reported on a court filing from the lawsuit, in which Ann Altman claimed “her brother ‘groomed and manipulated’ her and performed sex acts on her over several years, including ‘rape, sexual assault, molestation, sodomy, and battery.’”
Sam Altman posted a statement to X on behalf of himself, his mother and two younger brothers, saying, “Annie continues to demand more money from us. In this vein, Annie has made deeply hurtful and entirely untrue statements about our family, and especially Sam.”
