Maybe, but if the allegations are false, the accuser has ended her career one year after getting an MBA from Stanford. It seems unlikely she would take that risk unless she was absolutely sure.
I'm inclined to believe some parts are slightly sensationalized, especially as it went through the newspaper translation layer, but that in aggregate, the accusations are true. The "Masturbation Zone" was probably a joke name for a room instead of a place where employees masturbated, for example, and it's The Daily Beast's fault for misleading readers about that.
I’m sure the CTO has a perfectly good reason to drop his pants in his office. Perhaps he urgently needed to urinate and his office door was the best place to do it?
While what is alleged is over the top, it’s not all that far from what women face in even the typical workplace. Source: my wife and first hand observations from other coworkers.

Droping pant is a way to show that, we are all in the game with new tech stack and we not holding anything back, not even our pants. In a startup, we should do whatever it takes to succeed.
