In October 2012 Trond Giske’s long-time friend and Labour party colleague Rune Olsø was appointed CEO of Entra Eiendom, a company wholly owned by the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Olsø was to receive NOK 4.2 million in salary, which was perceived by some to be in violation of Giske’s own policy of moderation. Later it was revealed that the chairman and vice-chairman of the board opposed the appointment of Olsø, but lost the vote due to pressure from members who had personal or political ties to Giske. In the wake of the affair, prime minister Jens Stoltenberg appointed Bård Vegar Solhjell to handle the matter, as Giske had recused himself. Solhjell responded by firing three board members, including two who were largely seen as having close ties to Giske. Ten days after the story broke, Rune Olsø resigned as CEO of Entra.

In December 2017, in what became known as the Giske affair, Giske was accused by multiple younger women of sexual harassment and sexual assault. The accusations came in the context of the international Me Too debate in the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations, and dominated Norwegian media for several weeks. Giske admitted to some of the allegations of sexual misconduct, although he denied some of the accusations. On 1 January 2018 he was relieved of his duty as deputy leader for the Labour Party for an indefinite period as a result of the allegations. On 7 January 2018 he permanently resigned as deputy leader of the Labour Party stating that it was impossible for himself and his family to withstand the pressure of the picture that was painted of him by the media. Labour Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre stated that he had asked Giske to permanently resign a week earlier. Giske’s final resignation came shortly before the party executive committee were to debate the Giske affair. According to Aftenposten, Giske’s resignation came only hours before party leader Støre was about to state publicly that Giske did not have his confidence and needed to resign. On 25 January 2018 the Labour Party ruled that Giske had violated the party’s rules against sexual harassment and that his behaviour disqualified him from having offices in the party. In response Giske sought legal assistance against his own party.
