Oh I think I remember that... didn't he invite her to the hotel lobby or something and she thought he meant his room or something like that? I only vaguely remember it...

It's a bit more complex than that. Essentially, Linus asking her to come to his hotel in the late evening, for a floatplane contract of some sort.

This has been confirmed by all parties.

Naomi wrote on twitter that Linus meant to sexually assault her in his room.

What is unknown, is:

Did Linus really ask her to come to his room?
Did he have sexual intents?
Did Linus maliciously contact Naomi using chat so Yvonne would be out of the loop?

About that, what we know is:

Naomi admitted to prematurely jumping to the wrong conclusions about Linus's behavior because of an actual fact she missed/forgot.
Naomi will go as far as certifying that Linus wanted, without a doubt, her "to suck his dick".
However she won't go as far as sharing the chat logs "out of respect for the family".
Linus was fuming when she exposed those things on twitter.

Now this is my thoughts on the topic: when you publicly broadcast that someone asked you to suck their dick, whatever restraint you show after that isn't out of respect to them or their family. You are protecting yourself, and definitely hiding something. It is also clear Naomi is absolutely trying to find a reason to turn the public on Linus, even if that reason is imaginary. Linus isn't clean either, or he would not have reacted like what Madison described when Naomi half-way broke the story.

I'm guessing there is much more to this. I'm guessing everyone involved is rotten, and the chat logs would make all parties look bad. Else we would have been reading them for a while by now...
