LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The contractor whose sexual harassment claim against former Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) chief Mark Hurd led to Hurd's departure from the company said Sunday that she was unhappy about how the incident had played out. "I was surprised and saddened that Mark Hurd lost his job over this. That was never my intention," said Jodie Fisher, identified in a statement from her attorney as the female contractor who recently settled a sexual harassment claim against then HP chairman and chief executive. "Mark and I never had an affair or intimate sexual relationship. I first met Mark in 2007 when I interviewed for a contractor job at the company," Fisher was quoted as saying in the statement. "I have resolved my claim with Mark privately, without litigation, and I do not intend to comment on it further. ... I wish Mark, his family and HP the best," Fisher said. The statement described Fisher as a single mother who recently appeared on an NBC television dating show called "Age of Love." According to an Associated Press report, the 50-year-old Fisher knew Hurd through jobs at HP's marketing department from 2007 to 2009.
