Tech mistress revenge
By Techgirl

Technology giant Oracle’s database software is used by most of the Fortune 500 companies.  In Dec, 2009, it announced a 4 percent increase of quarterly revenues to $5.9 billion. In these 3 months it posted a net profit of $1.45 Billion up 12 percent from the previous year.

On the Oracle website, Charles E. Phillips is described as ‘President of Oracle Corporation and a member of the Board of Directors. He joined Oracle in 2003. Before joining Oracle, Mr. Phillips was with Morgan Stanley, a global investment bank. Prior to Wall Street, Mr. Phillips served as a Captain in the United States Marine Corps in the 2nd Battalion, 10th Marines. Mr. Phillips holds a BS in Computer Science from the United States Air Force Academy, a JD from New York Law School, and an MBA from Hampton University. Mr. Phillips is on the boards of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, The American Museum of Natural History, New York Law School, Viacom Inc., and Morgan Stanley. In February 2009, Phillips was appointed as a member to the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board to provide President Barack Obama and his administration with advice and counsel regarding the economy.’

Charles is worth a few hundred million dollars.

Unfortunately for Charles, a woman YaVaughnie Wilkins who he had an affair with for 8 years had taken their recent breakup badly.  So badly, that YaVaughnie Wilkins spent hundreds of thousand of dollars taking up huge advertising bill boards with photos of the now estranged couple and details of a website which had pictures of the couple when they were together (Picture at top of article). It seems YaVaughnie is so bitter and full of hatred that she has even published at least one photo of Charles young son with his wife. Dragging a child into a messy relationship breakup just seems sick.

Valleywag broke the story.  After lying low for a day, Charles Phillips admitted to NBC Bay Area that he indeed was the man on the billboards. Valleywag reported

And after 8 1/2 years, it appears that Phillips may have reconciled with his wife back East, at least for a time. Just this past December, he appeared with her to accept an award and gave an effusive speech about how "he owes everything to his wife." Ryan speculated that perhaps Phillips was leading a sort of a bicoastal double-life, telling people out West that he was long-divorced, while remaining married to Karen in the hopes of eventual reconciliation. These details lend some support to this pretty wild theory, as well as to the theory that the billboards were a final, brilliant act of revenge by a spurned Wilkins.

What's more, these billboards seem calculated to sabotage a major Oracle event Phillips will likely be speaking at: On January 27th (The same day Apple will or will not unveil the tablet), Oracle will host an "all-day live event" at its headquarters following the announcement that the EU has approved Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Devious!

Hell hath no fury like a tech mistress scorned.  Girl, you may have embarrassed Phillips but it does not reflect too well on you.  Especially, dragging in his young son on to the photo album you published on the internet. No wonder, some men think that some of we women are a bit crazy in matters of love and lust.
