Facebook honcho Sheryl Sandberg stood by her reputation as a “tough” but fair boss after a new book depicted her as a control freak known to tear into her underlings.

The social media giant’s chief operating officer admitted she has high standards, but disputed allegations that she yells at subordinates and has a fixation on her public image.

“I am a demanding boss and I am a tough boss — I think (a) very fair boss,” Sandberg said in a lengthy interview with NBC News released Thursday morning. “But I am demanding and I have very high standards.”

Sandberg, 50, was responding to tech journalist Steven Levy’s depiction of her in his book “Facebook: The Inside Story,” which was published this week. Levy reportedly writes that Sandberg was “prone to yelling” at her subordinates when they failed to meet her demands and that her obsession with her public image grew as Facebook faced scrutiny following the 2016 presidential election.

Sandberg suggested that gender played a role in how she was perceived as a boss. She said many employees have followed her from job to job, which indicates they believe she helps them “be their best.”

“For you to say a man is yelling at the workplace, he has to be Steve Jobs … he has to, like, scream,” Sandberg told NBC. “For someone to say a woman is yelling, you have to raise your voice or sound tense. It’s a very different thing.”

While Sandberg admitted that she cares about her reputation, she said neither she nor Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg worry too much about their image even as the company and its bosses face continued criticism over their approach toward misinformation and how data is used. The company has recently drawn fire for allowing political campaigns to run advertisements containing false claims.

“The issue is not what people think of me or Mark personally. The issue is how are we doing as a company?” Sandberg said in the interview. “How do we provide a great service, and how do we prevent some of the harm?”
