Brentwood City Manager on Leave Amid Allegations

Brentwood’s city manager, G. Harold Duffey, is on paid administrative leave after explosive allegations surfaced — including controversial text messages from 2024 involving him and another official, and new claims from employees alleging gender-based discrimination during his tenure. The City Council voted 4-0 (with the vice mayor abstaining) to place him on leave, citing the need for an independent review while operations continue smoothly under the executive team. The mayor emphasized this is a personnel matter with legal restrictions on disclosure, promising updates when permitted — all while the community is urged to remain patient. Duffey was appointed just last October. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
