But that didn't stop him from trying it on with a pretty female 24-year-old employee Adelheid 'Heidi' Waumboldt.

The petite blonde of Manhattan, New York has filed a lawsuit against her former boss.

She alleges that he chased her around his home naked, and busted in on her as she was changing, according to the New York Post.

The lawsuit Heidi filed in the Manhattan federal court, claims that Callimanopulos once "grabbed her face" and actually forced his tongue into her mouth, at which point she bit him very hard, enabling her to escape his wrath.

The 24-year-old said that despite repeatedly rejecting his advances, he would not take the message and allegedly persisted.

A spokesman for Callimanopulos, who is said to keep a two-foot statue of a penis in his office, said: "The allegations in that complaint are totally unfounded."

Heidi left the company earlier this year after having worked for one of his firms for three years, according to her LinkdIn profile.
