While that's terrible, I doubt it's what brought him down. This is from 2021 and it would have been easy for Altman to dismiss her as someone as someone who has mental issues, making it up etc. He has the money and backing for it. I suspect there's way more below what we see here.

Those allegations have been floating since ~2021, I don't think openai would suddenly decide to take emergency action on them 2+ years later.
