"Friends of Ms Allen told ABC that she had sought to break off the affair when she learned that Mr Mahoney was involved in other extramarital relationships.
Mr Mahoney fired Ms Allen in January 2008, and she began legal proceedings in February that concluded with a settlement in March, Democratic staff members briefed on the matter said.
"You work at my pleasure," Mr Mahoney told Ms Allen in a Jan. 20 telephone call that was recorded and played for Mr Mahoney's employees. "If you do the job I think you should do, you get to keep your job. Whenever I don't feel like you're doing your job, then you lose your job. And guess what: The only person who matters is guess who? Me." "
UPDATE: it disappoints readers Scarlet and Beast that Ms Allen is, indeed, not Ms Lily Allen, "the perky pop princess who gets everywhere else". But not, we hope, under Beast's duvet.
