The chief executive of Time's Up, the movement which rose in response to the Harvey Weinstein scandal, resigned from her position Friday following allegations of misconduct against her son.

Lisa Borders, who is also the former president of the Women's National Basketball Association, took the reins of Time's Up in early October.

The 61-year-old stepped down after a woman alleged in a Facebook post that her son, Garry "Dijon" Bowden Jr, 36, was sexually inappropriate with her after offering her a "healing session."
An attorney for Bowden vehemently denied "any inappropriate or non-consensual touching" to the LA Times and showed the paper a text message in which the Gellert had thanked Bowden, calling the massage "gentle and authentic and loving."
A statement posted by Time's Up on Instagram said, "Time's Up unequivocally supports all survivors of sexual abuse and harassment."
