The claims against her husband were offensive, according to Ginni Thomas.
She told Pack she knew the man. I am familiar with the people in his life.
Clarence Thomas and Hill worked together in the 1980's.
The new book called "Anita Hill's allegations of sexual harassment against her husband are highly offensive" contains information about the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
In the book, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," co-edited by Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta, Ginni Thomas sat down for interviews with Pack in two different years.
The attorney who worked with Clarence Thomas at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was the one who spoke with Pack.
At Clarence's request,Anita Hill worked with him at the Education Department, and then she wanted to follow him to the EEOC where he would be the chairman. She wanted to work with him for a long time. She said that Clarence never assumed that there was a problem with the people he was hiring and helping.
She said that he was an advocate against sexual harassment. He was disciplining employees that crossed the line. It was never something that he would have put together until the FBI came to our door and said that she was making accusations.
Pack was told that it was devastating for her husband to hear of Hill's allegations that she was a friend. He has always maintained that he didn't do anything inappropriate with Hill.
She said that Clarence was surprised that the person making the allegations was him. It was devastating to him that she would be the one to launch an attack against him.
The wife of a man said she was confident of his character and dismissed Hill's testimony as fiction.
I'm familiar with the man. I've known the people in his life. She said she knows what he's like in the workplace.
She said that it was offensive to hear someone tell a tale about her husband that differed from what other people had experienced.
The Senate voted 52 to 48 to confirm Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.
After speaking out against her husband, Ginni Thomas reached out to Hill and left her a message asking her to apologize.
She said in the voicemail that she would love for you to apologize and explain why you did what you did to my husband. Give it some thought and pray about why you did what you did. Have a great day.
Hill said that the message was inappropriate.
She said in a statement that "no offense was ever intended" after she was confirmed to have left the message.
Hill told The Times that she appreciated that no offense was intended, but she couldn't ask for an apology without implying that she did something wrong.
Clarence Thomas became a pillar of the court's conservative wing after Antonin Scalia's death.
There are calls for the justice to be removed from cases related to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, due to his wife's documented conversations with Trump allies.
