Eight women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them — with nudity, groping and lewd calls

This shit is getting old.

All men are shit.

Oh really? Tell us more, Roger Stone.

He is so very sorry now, he just never realized you don't treat women that way.

Captain Kangaroo is next. That set was a nasty nest of sexual vipers.

So he admits it

[quote]“It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken. “I have learned a great deal as a result of these events, and I hope others will too. All of us, including me, are coming to a newer and deeper recognition of the pain caused by conduct in the past, and have come to a profound new respect for women and their lives.”

Wasn't there some story about him years ago?

He was dating a rich woman I think and was stepping out on her and they broke up and got back together. I can't remember if it involved sexual harassment although back then it probably wouldn't be classified that way and he'd be thought of as some type of Lothario.

Agreed. I'm sick of this crap.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is more and more fatigue against this kind of shit. And surprisingly, it will also be by women, because they have a tendency to turn on each other... eventually.

ENOUGH.

Yeah, he thought it was mutual because it is sooo common for 21-37 yr olds to want a 52-65 yr old. Maybe the 37-52. Maybe. But somehow I think it was more of a 37/65.

Jesus. If they were being smiley and ingratiating, it just MIGHT be because you had power over their careers and were a know bipolar asshat.

Charlie Rose?

It's official, the Entertainment Industry is the Priesthood for straight guys.

Gayle King will be running that show now.

Blah, blah, blah, deeply sorry, blah blah blah, offended, blah, blah blah, valid blah, being heard, blah, blah, help, blah, blah, blah, strength, blah blah, blah,

Journalists on Twitter are saying his name started popping up immediately after Weinstein. So everyone knew about him and it was just a matter of time. Here's Rose's statement.

And those saying they're tired of these revelations can just go fuck themselves. There are plenty of other threads out there, douchebags.

I heart R10

W&W

I think it's good to spotlight these serial predators since they are responsible for an outsized number of the sexual harassment complaints.

Plenty of guys are capable of behaving normally. You can tell Charlie is abnormal because he's admitting he can't read or just ignores social cues.

He's been doing this for a long time. I remember a NYT story on him from years ago.

John Oliver has been on top of Charlie Rose

Several segments

R8 [quote]I'm sick of this crap...ENOUGH.[/quote]

I'm glad you know how the women feel. And luckily, you just had to read a few unwanted news items. They have to go through decades of that crap...

Ha! Was just about to post that, R17. Well... this isn't some isolated incident and both he and his longtime producer have admitted it's true, so... he's finished, right? Do we think PBS and CBS are both going to cut ties with him?

R19 Well, that didn't work....

Aren't I the dickens?

R21 Leave out the closing tag next time and it'll be fine.

R8, this is the new norm so you might want to tune it out.

I say keep it coming. It's great and I'm glad I'm alive to see it.

r8 fuck you. You sound like a self-hating, controlling frau.

Will we all be “too tired” of these stories when the time comes to discuss our predator in chief? Is there time yet to focus on the President’s pussy grabbing?

What could be the reason that two different networks kept Charlie Rose on the air for all these years?

Was he so SPECTACULAR and IRREPLACEABLE?

He always seemed mediocre to me. There must be something in him I'm not seeing.

Sharlie Roshe.

Yeah right. I really do not care. If you haven't got the balls to slap a guy in the face, then shut up.

I was just thinking this morning, please God, don’t let anyone accuse Charlie Rose...I would’ve imagined in his prime Charlie Rose must’ve been a great seducer of women, he seems like he would be a great lover of women. But harasser? Abuser? Why would he have to do that? I think some of these women are just humourless.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you weren't supposed to do these things, I am woke now, forgive me, pretty please??

Moral panics quickly turn boring.

I love his show. Will be really disappointed if it gets cancelled.

What have any of these women EVER contributed? Nothing.

I'm a gay man and I have been sexually harassed by older gross trollish men dozens of times. I would be at a club or bar and some old troll would be trying to get with me and god damn is that gross. I just thought that it was normal to have entitled older gross troll guys try to get with you if you are young and hot and it was just a nuisance I had to put up with...

Getting sexually harassed by nasty old trollish sex pests is normal if you are young and hot right?? Who hasn't had to deal with nasty old troll sex pests? This shit is normal.

I've only seen this old guy charged with sexually harassment once.

He was supposed to be interviewing an distinguished English acting dame and he was harassing her with inane stupid questions.

[quote] I would be at a club or bar and some old troll would be trying to get with me and god damn is that gross.

Which of these sexual harassment complaints took place in a gay club?

I'm beginning to wonder if every man is guilty of sexual harassment.

He's toast. And deserves to be. This is serious harassment. The really sick bastards deserve to be called out. Each and every one of them.

Sad times.

He's not even good at interviewing -- he always seems to make the "conversation" about himself. Insufferable, grating, and fug -- I daresay he will not be missed.

I laughed when I saw Franken was off the Letterman tribute. Letterman himself was being blackmailed for screwing the interns on his show.

According to Yashar Ali of New York Magazine, there will be another expose about Charlie Rose coming out soon.

It's unlikely he will be able to survive this:

[quote]There's another publication that's close to publishing another expose about Charlie Rose, there's just no way he will return to CBS....which means that his seat on CBS This Morning will open up...will they have all women? Current co-hosts are @GayleKing and @NorahODonnell

R34, I think the point is that people are sick of it and want to change "accepted harassment".

Makes send to me, why should anyone put up with this shit?

Charlie Rose... nude?

ACK!

More and more men are refusing to be alone in the room with women in business situations. AND there is a new trend for contracts that state, more or less, that this is a Fun Zone ala a TV show dealing with adult themes and sexuality and if you don't like it, don't work there (and you have to sign that you understand this and will not sue). You happy, you silly cunts?

The Letterman tribute was taped a while ago. They must have edited him out.

i didn't click on OP's link, can someone give me the summary pls?

Now where are the stories about the helpless toddlers who had zero chance to kick ANY man to the curb, who got used as currency and never ever had a shot at career growth or ever had a choice to perform or be fired. Will we ever see the truly disgusting ones come down? How about they start with Washington DC first. There's a big long career for any media group that has the guts to start that avalanche.

This is the most shocking one for me.

He had a debonair Peter Jennings thing about him.

I am sad.

suspended

I believe this. I heard he was a pussyhound 20 years ago from a relative of my husband's who worked with him.

I have ALWAYS found him creepy.

I would have given Charlie a spin, but only on that round, wooden table he interviews everyone on.

Totally believe it. He gave me the heebee jeebees.

I'm still getting over Halperin. What's their problem? They behave this way because it's a function of "the boy's club". I bet Charlie thought he'd never get caught, his importance in the hierarchy would serve as his protective mantle. But the real truth is "the gals" are fair game.

A lot of these women were desperate to keep their jobs and not "put a foot wrong" by "squealing." And Charlie and all his male colleagues wrote the rules and played these women like violins.

Charlie Rose: I have lost so much respect for you.

Breaking: CBS has suspended Charlie Rose.

Mark Harris of EW claims there are SEVEN cases of famous men being investigated.

He must have know this was coming out eventually.

Yes, I remember someone said something about him on DL years ago, so I am not shocked.

I used to watch his show because of the guests, not him. He was always fake and fawning, asking empty questions.

Watched the clips upthread of the CBS morning show. Looks stupid. Does everything have to turn into Kelly Ripa or Howard Stern? I thought they were going for a slightly more intelligent news show.

He has BDF and is 6'3".

I would've.

PBS: "We are immediately suspending distribution of 'Charlie Rose'"

I see the pedo troll has joined us at r48.

What damage was done to you, R48? I’m starting to become concerned for you.

Bannon is behind ALL of this. Thiel too.

I always felt like he was too old for that CBS Morning Show gig.

his questions were so fucking ridiculous. He would have a round table of actors and the director of the film and he would ask these super pretentious and "hard" questions to the actors like they were fucking rocket scientists trying to solve global warming.

Will the mighty Op now sit next to bestie Gayle?

Never hiring another woman again. Ever. There are plenty of ways around it and even if it's not legal I'd rather risk that kind of suit than this shit. I'll play the gay card hiring other gays if I have to (and, yes, I am in the entertainment business).

I think it's an important hour that provides a different and direct viewpoint. But I'm glad Charlie Rose is gone. I hope they find somebody good to replace him. It needs to a real news person not some lame ass entertainer type.

It's too late for you, R67.

The women have already planned how they're going to take you down.

I always hated the aesthetic of the Charlie Rose set. Not the round table, but the complete black surroundings.

His long-time partner is Amanda Burden, daughter of Babe Paley.

Wow, this is really shocking to me. Is no one decent?

It must have been torture for those women; an hour-long monologue accompanying each assault...

You don’t like that sexual harassing asshole men are being taken down?

TOO FUCKING BAD.

The end of the straight white male. Is here.

DEAL WITH IT.

And ENOUGH of your enough. Nobody fucking cares that you’re “tired of it.”

Do you even realize that all of the women were his employees r34?

Lol! R73, thanks for the laugh!

Poor Dame Judi.

R45 is delusional. Nothing you’re saying is happening.

See this is confirmation of what I told my optimistic female friends prior to the '16 election.

Even the most liberal men secretly either hate women or at minimum don't respect them.

So has he been suspended with pay, while they investigate? He's 75, he should have been gone a long time ago.

Will Amanda Burden dump him?

this is not surprising at all

Arrogant man

So who's next? Tom Brokaw? Stephanopoulos? Lester Holt? Matt Lauer (never mind), Brian Williams...

If you're sick of hearing about, imagine how sick you'd be of dealing with it.

Yeah, right, repeated evidence and proof of homophobia would be SOOOO boring.

I loved Charlie Rose and am sorry that he will now be gone like the rest of them. This is the end of an era of where men always thought it was okay. You notice that they are mostly from the same era. oh well.......

This guy has the face of an angry drunk.

Here’s the bottom line: pretty much, an overwhelming majority of straight men have either said something , or has acted out inappropriately with women, at one time or another. Period, end of story. Is it right, do I support the behavior? No, of course not. But we are going to be outing men for the rest of eternity, because this has always gone on, in every industry.

Your fathers are straight? Then you can bet your ass he did something inappropriate. Brothers, husbands, sons, uncles, nephews, grandfathers? Same.

Let’s get the conversation going toward the solutions.

The backlash on this is going to hurt women more than they know. No, it’s not fair, but it will happen.

These guys are basically saying they were never properly educated. Whatever my next job is, feeling is I'll be spending half my time "educating" male colleagues, if I'm unfortunate enough to have any.

Can the man-hating loons please fuck right off.

Any dibs on Chris Matthews?

[quote] Another old Jew sexual abuser?

Da fuq?

I admit this one hurts as I like Rose on the CBS morning show. It's hard to believe he was unaware his behavior was unacceptable. He's too smart for that. It's more like he did it because he wanted to and get away with it.

Now I'm trying to remember what his demeanor was like as the CBS morning show reported on Trump, Spacey, Weinstein, et al. Will be paying attention to how King and O'Donnell address the situation.

R93 - it's a Nazi shit beetle, crush and ignore it.

Rachel Maddow grabbed my pussy!

I'm loving this because I truly hate this guy.

Nice attempt at intimidation R88. It is the end of the straight white male because there are fewer jobs, more competition and we are looking for skill, not network. So straight white males are becoming expendable because we don't need you, and the others are a lot more fun to be around.

Sure Shaniqua.

During the 80’s, I had a major crush on Charlie Rose and John Tesh. I was completely into tall, slim WASP type men in those days, and for some lucky reason, those are the types of men who seemed to find me attractive too. The sex was usually disappointing. Now I wonder what I ever saw in them. These days it’s Latino and Black men I find attractive.

Charlie Rose must have been the most boring interviewer ever.

R97, what is there to hate about Charlie Rose? The man is as remarkable as a piece of lint?

The one thing that I enjoyed about Rose’s Show was that he got people on there that you would never see interviewed, otherwise. Authors, especially. Writers are rarely interviewed at length on television, so that was nice.

He’s had all of the big names on there, in many different fields. If you can think up a name, he’s probably interviewed them, from scientists, to politicians, to musicians.

The end of an era in so many ways in the last few months. What concerns me is that I’m not at all convinced that we will be coming out of this as better people, with better environments for us all.

A majority of what we are seeing truly is a witch hunt. Even if it did happen, it’s not coming out in order to protect women and make the workplace safer for them. That’s not what this is. This is 100% political now. I hope you all are able to recognize that, regardless of your feelings or sex. This is not coming out to protect women. This is coming out in order to hurt the “liberal” MSM.

If you don’t understand that, then fuck off, please.

I wonder if Larry King was still on CNN he’d be in this situation?

[quote]Another old Jew sexual abuser?

Charlie Rose is Jewish?

Shocked here also. And saddened.

Not surprising. Had heard about his grabbiness along time ago. Probably on DL.

Yes, R102, because the liberal MSM are absolutely the only ones to be doing this. Besides, liberal in the US is still very much centre-right for us in Europe, so not much love lost there.

As for this interviewer, he was boring as fuck. He interviewed one of my favourite musicians, who indeed doesn't do a lot of TV interviews, and I couldn't watch the whole thing it was so boring. So I don't really see what was so cool about that. With somebody else doing the interview I might have watched the whole thing (repeatedly) and have enjoyed myself. As it stands, it's just a fog. And it was a pretty long interview, too. So boring.

R98, please sit down and STFU. You know zero about me, what I do, or who I am. Your reading comprehension skills are quite poor, being that you obviously did not understand what I wrote.

Just fuck off. I’m sick of poorly educated cunts, such as yourself, who actually believe you have anything worth offering to a conversation. Ugh.

To bore other people is a sin, and this guy sinned, over, and over, and over, again.

It shoulda been ME!

Half of the elder gays on The DL

Mike Pence and his philosophy should be looking better and better to women.

what i want to know is when did the incidents occur? donkey years ago or recently? Did he stop after the bill oreilly stuff first came out? Did he not think he would be caught? what a fucking asshole.

what about the men at 60min? any shit on them? I like 60min. I would be very upset if they were accused.

I want something on Bob Saget.

Meanwhile, everyone is ignoring the real news like that budget passing. Who gives a fuck if Charlie Rose walked around nude?

[quote]Mike Pence and his philosophy should be looking better and better to women.

I don't think closeted men who call them 'mother' is exactly what women are looking for, as the alternative to harassment.

r89 It's Rose, not Rosen. Charlie isn't Jewish.

I don't think 75 year old Rose will ever work again after they fire him (and they will and SHOULD). He's beyond an asshole, like he thinks it's the 1960s or something. I'm sad to learn all of this because I've liked him for decades.

R45 / R48, you desperately need therapy. If you were trying to be funny, you deserve a smack in the face.

He should have retired years ago.

There should be something like the Charlie Rose show. Someone who can ask better questions.

So when is Matt Lauer getting his? God knows he’s been mixing business with pleasure for a VERY long time at the good ole Rock.

The idea of the show is certainly useful, but please find a presenter who can actually hold a compelling conversation. Hell, find a woman.

Oh my, he grabbed them by their pussies too!!! what did this fucking hypocrite say about trump???

What a fucking douchebag!

Why the fuck was he walking around nude? at his age? Are you kidding me? at the office? I would need cornea transplants after that.

I think travis smiley does a good job.

I miss tom synder

R112, I don't know anything recent, but Mike Wallace was once called out for snapping female employee's bras from behind. Inappropriate, obnoxious, something you wouldn't go to HR about if you wanted to keep your job.

A reporter for EW says that he knows of 8 exposes that are being written right now about powerful men.

"Godfrey-Ryan said that when Rose learned she had confided to a mutual friend about his conduct, he fired her."

There you go, that's all you need to know about Charlie Rose, and about why women never dare speaking up when abused : they lose their fucking job when they do.

This culture that allows this treatment of half the population needs to FUCKING STOP.

Expose every single one of those motherfuckers and throw *them* out of employment.

That shit makes me sick.

r124 That's not what he said. He simply said that he counted the stories about abuse in the media industry out today and there were seven (not eight, btw).

I wonder why baba wawa hasn't said anything about all these recent news? Is she unwell? I'm gonna put her on the death list 2017

[quote] A woman then in her 30s who was at the Bellport home in 2010 to discuss a job opportunity said Rose appeared before her in an untethered bathrobe, naked underneath. She said he subsequently attempted to put his hands down her pants. She said she pushed his hands away and wept throughout the encounter.

Awful. Just like Weinstein..

Rose better not try to say he had no idea what he was doing was wrong.

Charlie Rose is an American hero, and a national treasure.

George Clooney is more attractive to watch than this guy, and that's saying something.

He needs to be locked up. Psycho

*************************

At the pool, Rose dangled his legs in the water and then said that he needed to change because his pant legs were wet. He returned wearing a white bathrobe, which was open; he wore nothing underneath.

“I thought, I’m doomed,” she said. “I was completely panicked. In retrospect, I thought of a million things I could have done.”

She said she was not intoxicated — Rose had drunk his wine and then hers at the restaurant — but said he appeared to be. It was nearly 2 a.m. and she was exhausted, she said. She also said she felt alone and powerless. It was the middle of the night, they were on his secluded property, and she did not know how to drive.

“I started talking in this feeble and compulsive way,” she said. “I started talking about power, how the abuse of power can be. He completely lost it. ‘What are you talking about? That’s certainly not the case.’ ”

She said he then tried to put a hand down her pants.

“By the time he touched me the first time, he was already very angry,” she said. “I was scared, and I was also kind of frozen.”

After that, her memory is “hazy,” she said. They ended up in his bedroom.

“I really, honestly, I’ve tried so hard, especially recently, since I’ve been thinking about this, to try to remember what happened between sitting by the pool and being in his bed,” she said. “I have no recollection of how we went from here to there. I do remember I was crying the entire time.”

Hes officially suspended at CBS......how long for PBS ?

[quote] She said she was not intoxicated — Rose had drunk his wine and then hers at the restaurant — but said he appeared to be.

Huh?

R133 - She wasn't drunk but he appeared to be. Can you read?

He owns the Charlie Rose show. So I guess PBS suspended the show?

why the fuck did she go back to his home at 2 am if she didn't want to fuck him?

some woman play hard to get...maybe he thought she was playing hard to get? what about other accounts? what else did he do?

Statement.

What a horrible story posted at R131. This guy is a creep. Who gets off on scaring a woman like that?

[quote] why the fuck did she go back to his home at 2 am if she didn't want to fuck him?

How about reading the article sweetie ?

The story at r131 sounds odd. Why did she accompany him to his bedroom? I actually believe her, but fuck. Just push him in the pool and run. Call the police.

I had a similar situation where I was stuck in the Hollywood Hills without my car. I left the house of the man who was harassing me, and yes, I walked ALL the way down the hills to Sunset Blvd. This was pre cell phones. It was a fucking nightmare, but it was a better and safer alternative to what was going on previously.

Sobbing is not playing hard to get, R137.

Besides, I'm a woman and I never play hard to get. If I'm interested, I'll go all in. If I'm not, I won't. And this may take years, I don't care. I either have terrific sex or I don't. But then again I'm great in bed, so that might be the difference.

sadly I can totally believe it

From Rose's statement :

[quote] I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings

What the hell ? He has a crying employee stuck in a remote location with him on assignment that he gropes and he has the nerve to call that shared feelings ?

Scumbag

C Rose I never knew about this, but I do know he was masquerading as an intellectual.

Lord, if that's an American intellectual no wonder... I'll just let you finish off the sentence.

Damn, I thought he was a class act. What's with the old guys who want women to see them naked?

[quote] PBS: "We are immediately suspending distribution of 'Charlie Rose'"

Normally I'd say the time slot would be filled by "Are You Being Served", but Young Mr Grace seems a bit problematical in the current climate.

As usual. When did Charlie host a Trump rally?

drinking your dinner dates wine?. just order another for yourself and leave the date's alone. or am I off on this one

No idea. These guys born in the 1940s have a pretty warped sense of how much the world wants them, and how much women - any woman- needs to see their genitals.

The guy's an alcoholic, and cheap, what can you do R149.

i wonder if he constantly interrupted them while they were trying to fight him off??

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I’m surprised he could get his nose out of KIssinger’s ass long enough to harass a woman. I suppose they should be grateful he showered first.

What a creep. Why do these men old men think women in their 20s want to be anywhere near their ancient carcasses? Women (Madonna excepted) are rarely that delusional. The egotism is astonishing.

Not really, R153, those are killer's eyes... But whatever.

another friend of Hillary

Tweet by Tony Schwartz, who was the ghost writer of Trump’s The Art of the Deal:

I grew up on the street in Bellport where Charlie Rose had his house. I don't know anything about his behavior with women, but I found him to be among the most grandiose, inauthentic, and insecure men I have ever met.

When I first heard about Charlie Rose, I thought this was just another case of Al Franken type groping. Reading an article where he exposes himself appearing totally naked in front of two woman made me sick to my stomach. You look at the guy, and would never believe he was capable of something like this.

He never gwabbed MY pussy!

He never grabbed mine either and I did at least 2 interviews with him.

but did they mention his dick size? cut or uncut? shaved etc???

at least he has classier fantasies than Bill O'reily with the fucking loofah lol.

With each of these scumbags I'm so glad I have a world-class eye for these nutjobs. Every single one of them. I'm pretty sure this has saved my bacon many a time, in real-life encounters.

This one surprised me.

You've got too much fat on your bacon. No one wants you.

Rose would give females unsolicited back rubs, which they would refer to as "the Crusty Paw!"

There's a charmer.

Some people are really not that good at sex, sadly. They need to learn, but at 75 it is too late.

This shit is going to set feminism back by 40 years.

I miss Peter Jennings.

He would have groped a bitch politely, with that Canadian charm. Plus he was actually hot.

His time slot and budget should have gone to some clever 20 something years ago. This old men are creeps and he was always a TOTAL star fucking, fake creep.

I would have certainly been interested when he was young. He looks like he kept a clean hole when he was more flexible.

“Untethered bathrobe” is a great phrase, r128!

I have a feeling Rose won't make it to the end of the year -- add him to the Death Pool.

These pictures of Charlie when he was young make him look like a serial killer. Seriously, absolutely dead behind the eyes.

Well, we've come full circle. It started with a Rose and it's culminating with a Rose.

JK - more to come.

a boyfriend or husband must have found out and taught him a lesson

[quote]i miss Tom Snyder.

Yes, R122! I miss David Susskind, as well. What great interviewers we had then-- Snyder, Susskind, Cavett, Frost--even Johnny Carson and the execrable Joe Pyne were miles better than most of the "professional" journalists of today.

So many years of the PBS patrician looking down his nose at those icky people disapproved of in Chappaqua and the Washington Post and NY Times editorial rooms. Deflating the smug is delicious.

His interviews with Dame Maggie Smith were particularly wince-inducing, especially when he’d ask questions about the acting process.

Tom Snyder's interviews consisted of him sitting there with a burning cig in his hand and his gangly legs stretching well beyond the coffee table.. The guest would say something funny, he'd start laughing then coughing then choking. Commercial. Credits. Goodnight!

He's rather deplorable isn't he?

r160 I wish Carrie Fisher was still around for all of this. I would love to hear her commentary and find out if she had any stories of her own.

This is so exhausting. I expect we should just assume all men in powerful positions are sexual abusers. This way when there isn't one we will be surprised. Sadly we should just condition ourselves so.

He's has a soft-spoken arrogance, which leads to harassment.

I miss Tom Snyder and his Colortinis

I love Charlie and I watch him on both CBS and PBS. I will be sad to see him go. But he is 75 and it's time for him to step aside, we need a new generation to take over.

R182 - Carrie knew EVERYTHING going on in Hollywood so I'm sure she'd have a lot to say.

I hate that he turned out to be one of these men. My mother and he grew up together and went to the prom together. She spoke very highly of him.

At this point, I miss Joe Franklin and Robin Bryd.

Fuck Carrie Fisher-Roddy McDowall had the real dirt and we’d all have to get cryogenically frozen to actually be alive to finally get it.

I think we should get the Roddy McDowell diary and Jackie O diary or whatever NOW!

Do we have to have a revolution over it?

Terrible interviewer. A kind of pseudo-intellectual Larry King. Not surprised--he often has terrible boundaries with guests. If it gets him and that annoying Carolina accent a moment sooner, then these women have performed a huge public service.

None of the others surprised me; this though REALLY surprises me.

Harry Smith is the nice one.

Oh, please let Anthony Bourdain be next!!!

R182 and R187 when the Harvey avalanche was in full swing a woman (writer/actress) told a story of a certain producer tossing her out of his limo because she wouldn't submit to his advances. When she told Carrie about the incident Carrie sent the producer a gift wrapped tongue in a Tiffany's box.

Here's Carrie's quote:“I knew [the producer] would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany’s box wrapped with the white bow. It was a cow tongue from [Los Angeles'] Jerry’s Famous Deli with a note that said, ‘If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box.’”

"She said she was not intoxicated — Rose had drunk his wine and then hers at the restaurant — but said he appeared to be."

Even more intimidating, the wine was a rosé.

Look at the comments at R138's post.

The women responding to the tweets...."He can touch my thigh anytime!"

r196, That's right! Thanks for reminding me. I love that story.

Not surprised he harrasses women. Did you catch his interview a couple months back with Hillary during her book tour? For a good long while he was basically badgering her, with an angered/passionate tone, and not letting her respond. I was shocked.

I rarely watched the CBS this morning but when I did, I found him creepy and didn't realize he was 75! He should have been put out to pasture long ago. It just looks gross for an old man flirting and giggling with his female co-anchors like he's still a sexy young thing. It looks like that's the only thing on his mind. Dirty old man.

No, you shut the fuck up R88. Enough of your tired gaysplaining.

Sit down.

[quote]My mother and he grew up together and went to the prom together. She spoke very highly of him.

That's because your mom was a slut and gave him what he wanted, R188.

I liked your story, R188.

I’m so happy to read this — finally a guy I fucking detest gets it! 🍾

The man always has been, and always will be, a jerk and a moron. I hope this ruins his career utterly and we never see or hear from him again.

EXACTLY r192 — he obviously doesn’t listen to or understand his guests and asks completely insipid questions. His career has always been an utter mystery to me.

When CBS This Morning got a makeover in 2012, I was so excited. Then they announced Gayle King as anchor and I was thrilled, but that was short lived when they announced her co-anchor: Charlie Rose. I was like, is this a joke. He was WAY TOO OLD for that gig. I’m so happy he’s out now.

[quote] All of us, including me, are coming to a newer and deeper recognition of the pain caused by conduct in the past, and have come to a profound new respect for women and their lives.

Gee whodda thunk.

Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Hello!

The funny thing is this guy was a TERRIBLE interviewer. Seriously, how did he keep his job for so long? It certainly wasn't due to competence.

He is also not very pleasant to look at which is a standard that is certainly applied to female hosts and even most male hosts now.

Charlie must have been keeping secrets for top execs at CBS and PBS. This Bret Ratner-like dude clearly must have Russell Simmons-type friends high up in the network executive suites and they covered for each other. The only reason I can think his career lasted this long.

He dated Martha Stewar a bit. He must have grabbed her by the pussy.

He kept his job because he is a world class toady. He’s known around my house as “Brown Nose” Rose. I stopped watching him years ago because his sucking up to guests was so revolting.

[quote] because his sucking up to guests was so revolting.

Only the democrat guests or those supporting the democrat position on some issue.

[quote]He is also not very pleasant to look at which is a standard that is certainly applied to female hosts and even most male hosts

Agree. He looks like a washed wrinkly toad and making sexual innuendos with his female co-hosts---yech! In 2012 , Rose was 70 years old. In normal workplace, they'd force you to retire. Why couldn't CBS hire a younger man? Or are they aiming for the geriatric crowd?

did they ever mention his cock was hard when he exposed himself? this guy is so sick.

I've only seen him on bloomberg tv.

I work around bloomberg building and have seen him walking once and he looked sooo frail. I thought he was gonna die soon, that was 5 years ago.

When is enough? At some point we will fight back and many women are going to be justifiably raped and justifiably killed due to this mass hysteria.

There will be blowback and the women bring it on themselves.

I remember seeing him interview Nigella Lawson on 60 Minutes and he really seemed to be slobbering over her. She's pretty flirtatious herself and I thought, he's not going to take no for an answer at this point.

PBS is basically the Land Where Time Stood Still and they would have kept him until he was 100 years old with dementia because they're so afraid of change, so I'm glad this has forced the issue.

No, there will be no blowback because this new thinking reflects the younger generation. Their viewpoints are becoming mainstream. The old thinking is being pushed aside.

You gotta watch this! Did they know he was a creep and just decided to handle him with humor?

R165, when I read "unsolicited back rubs" my mind goes to GWBush and Joe Biden. How long til women start complaining about them?

[quote]EXACTLY [R192] — he obviously doesn’t listen to or understand his guests and asks completely insipid questions. His career has always been an utter mystery to me.

It's been rumored for years that Charlie is lazy about research and has his staffers do all the heavy lifting. He gets their summaries and then wings it and it shows.

[quote] He gets their summaries and then wings it and it shows.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with that.

[quote]This is so exhausting. I expect we should just assume all men in powerful positions are sexual abusers. This way when there isn't one we will be surprised. Sadly we should just condition ourselves so.

What is unfortunate is that this is very likely the case for many - to the majority of - men. At this rate, those who are [bold]not[/bold] sexually inappropriate with others would be the surprises.

Lauer is next.

He took it out (too)

Men are trash.

I'd like to know if men would think it acceptable when their ugly old female bosses jerk off in front of them, and when they complain, they get fired because they are "trouble makers" . And that woman would say they just wouldn't hire men anymore because they "complain" too much.

Did he touch my Gail?

Boy's club...

Plus, R226, what if the women asked what did the men actually contribute to the workplace anyway? After all, none of them made it to upper management.

The women could also bitch how sick they are of the men's complaints and crow about the coming "backlash".

[quote] Wasn't there some story about him years ago? He was dating a rich woman I think and was stepping out on her and they broke up and got back together.

The story I heard about Rose was that back in the day he had a regular girlfriend he kept on the downlow. She wasn't rich or famous or part of society. She was just a regular person. But Charlie being the climber he has always been never took her anywhere or made it public. Maybe he convinced her it was about their privacy. Whatever. As it turns out he started escorting Amanda Burden - and you don't get much fancier society wise than Amanda Burden - but Rose was cheating in his real girlfriend with Burden. I can just hear his excuses - now now it's just professional dates. You're my true love that I want to protect from the public prying eyes. I imagine once he he was really in he segued to Amanda. No idea what happened to the girlfriend.

I always knew Charlie was a twat. Yes, he had fabulous guests that are hard to find elsewhere. A certain amount of power and respect come with that abilty to draw them to your table - rightfully so. But I wanted to hear THEM talk - not Charlie pontificate for a 15 minute monologue and then say to his guest, "Don't you agree with me?" I would end up screaming at the TV to shut up and let them talk. So I stopped watching him for about 10 years and didn't return until there was something I wanted to watch. Admittedly he was much better - still interrupting, still about him but a definite improvement. I was able to watch again and I have to give it to him these are truly great shows with the kind of guests an informed public needs to hear - and needs to hear at length. For instance, his series of shows on the brain are incredible sources of fascinating information and even hope for those suffering from mental issues and brain damage, The morning shows are useless junk when it comes to interviews or exploring topics. I have refused to watch them for a very long time now.

I have watched some very good stand-ins for Rose when he was off. They are usually quiet and reserved but have excellent interview skills. I hope they can continue to attract a high quality of guests - especially the political and business ones.

When did this story break? Was Rose on the show today? Did they address it?

[quote] Was Rose on the show today?

Charlie was off seeking counseling.

I don't know about a backlash....if an employer decides not to hire women, eventually the statistics will cause an investigation and lawsuits. However, you just might find some employers hiring older women in their 40s and 50s.

If he tried to harass Faye Dunaway, she would throw a cup of piss in his face! Go Faye!

what about bloomberg? i think there might be a few stories, it's been so long that I think i've forgotten. But I remember he was sued by a few female employees. He one of them for getting pregnant. He told her to Kill it or something very nasty. It was in the charging papers.

He ruined this interview with Hillary by constantly interrupting and talking over her. No respect.

But I do think he is "on the spectrum". In his interviews he laughs at the wrong time and keeps changing the subject. Don't know how he's gone so far in the business being so clueless.

Time for a new host with a table and a black backdrop.

One thing about Charlie, he puts his whole face into an interview. His facial expressions are so earnest, like he's not just paying attention with his brain, but with his nose, cheeks, and eyebrows. It's odd. I watched his show sometimes but was often bored.

[quote]The end of the straight white male. Is here. DEAL WITH IT.

Bill Cosby, laughing and laughing

Three more women have come forward to Business Insider.

They are former interns:

He always interrupts and talks over the people. If they are a comedian he often tries to finish the punch line before they do. Bye Bye.

Did this all start with Trump advocating grabbing pussies? We have a self-acknowledged pussy grabber right at the very top and the younger generations are apparently fed up with the patriarchy, good ol'boys club. This may be the only good result of Trump the sexual predator holding the highest office in the land.

The fatigue assholes arrived early. This happened with racism, homophobia, and now sexual assault. So, if you're so fucking tired of hearing about it, then do something to fix the issue. The answer is NEVER, "I'm now bored by this so let's move on."

R177 Johnny Carson?? You're joking. There have been stories swirling about hi my for decades. He would have been one of the first taken down were he still alive.

This is no surprise to me. I met him at a party for the US Open back in 2004 and he was drunk off his arse, acting the fool. He literally looked like the line in that Carly SImon song - wearing the ascot etc. He was bought and sold years ago. Corporate shill and dis-info specialist. His take on the Kennedy assassination was telling. He believed the Warren Report because his bosses told him to.

Kelly - The Enabler.

I've just turned 40 so I have no problem with employers preferringto hire older women. Although at 40 I certainly do not consider myself old, but that's another story.

All the men outed say they are sorry, it's the old story, they are sorry they got caught. I agree with the poster that said "what about Bloomberg"? Why is/has been getting a pass?

[quote]And those saying they're tired of these revelations can just go fuck themselves. There are plenty of other threads out there, douchebags.

I couldn't agree more.

I am someone definitely not in the loop so this news of Rose surprised me. I rarely watched his show-he always made it about himself. I do agree he had some great guests. Okay now it has been reported on here Bloomberg is a pig with women? Geez, I thought he was gay.

The CBS Morning show starts in 20 minutes...gotta watch!

R67 going from the pot into the fire...

r250 I hope it’s good

Wow 12 more people have contacted the reporter who wrote the Washington Post article saying Rose had harassed them too. That’s 20 people now.

Norah and Gayle did a great job talking about the issue this morning.

He had quite a few interesting guests on his show over the years and he was determined to interrupt them almost completely. I couldn't take the intense irritation I would experience and I would change the channel. I don't know how he had any regular viewers.

The Fatigue Trolls ™️ are beyond tiresome, ironically. Just block them and their sad little impotent rages.

[quote] Geez, I thought he was gay.

Gays think everyone's gay.

I was just looking at the Ina Gaarten thread. Didn't take long for them to say she's a dyke and he's 'a big ole queen'.

R254, what were Norah and Gayle going to say? They couldn't say we knew or heard rumors about Charlie but could say nothing? These women are trying to save the show and their jobs. Women need to wake up, the so called feminists have helped hide this problem with their lies and coverups for the culprits.

Holy shit, he looks wolfish in 153. What big teeth you have, Grandpa Rose. What big eyes too!

He probably used his looks and charisma and aggression to treat women like that for years and it probably worked for years--until he became a walking talking sandbag of an old man.

I think this has a lot to do with many of these stories. These men don't realize when they lose their It factor.

What was the story about him and Wendy Wasserstein?

Wendy Washershtein.

And we're to believe all the women, who are seeking their fifteen minutes of fame, because they are, uh women. The female is the most notorius liar on earth. From their age to their weight to their self importance, nothing escapes her "exaggeration." Please, put this shit to rest.

I've had women pinch my ass and others drop their hands on my thigh under a table, then working it to my crouch. II didn't run out crying or relive the trauma for forty years. I laughed - and there is the difference. Women are a humorless breed.

I was born in 80. Common knowledge to not be creepy to anybody you work with, period, up or down the chain of command. No excuse. I roll my eyes at so much millennial bullshit, like ott consent and campus rape hysteria, but this is legit.

I was a fan of CBS This Morning because I liked the chemistry of the three hosts. Gayle was the funny everyman, Nora the shrewd and smart overachiever, and Charlie was the esteemed straight man they played off. I stopped watching after some of the SJW nonsense leaked onto the show. Like, just one small instance, when they all flipped out on John McEnroe because he didn't say Williams was the greatest tennis player in the world or something (how could she be if 200 men could beat her any given Sunday?) Never mind all ll the racism hysteria they peddled like every other show.

That said, this thread could do without the anti-white, anti-gay, anti-straight and anti-male comments. It's okay to be white.

Charlie winging it off recaps and over using his face reminds me of the blond guy from Broadcast News. Or was it Network. I confuse those two.

As for good long form interviewers, Dave Ruben takes the cake. He's the reigning king. He actually listens. He covers difficult topics. He even, gasp, changes his mind about things right in front of you (which will limit his viewership because most people find that abhorrent since the world lost its color and we're all stuck on the Kansas farm.)

Also, kudos to Gayle and Nora and the rest of the team this morning. I'm sure that was difficult as hell.

One thing struck me odd. There must be more coming because Gayle was talking like he atually raped people or something.

R265, he did commit sexual assault if he groped women.

Women aren't coming out for their "fifteen minutes of fame." They're coming out to support the other women who have gone public. It's really not that fucking hard to know how to behave appropriately in a work environment.

Hilarious/peculiar/disturbing how some here are offended that people have boundaries and don't want to be fondled by work colleagues or acquaintances , if you can brush it off fine, but it is plainly wrong and those who resent it happening to them have every right to put a stop to it. Glad times are changing .

Oh fuck off and their apologies, he knew what he was doing. He's been a known lech for years. My sisters mother in law get her hair done where CR gets hair cut - they would basically roll a dice when it came who would cut his hair cause he would rub his elbow on their crotches - he's aways been a gross pig. Like Mark Halperin gross. He's partner with Babe Paley's daughter, Amanda Burden. I hope she drops his ass. Apparently these douches have no mirrors - look at them - so ugly. They are compensating for their lack of attention

"Yeah, he thought it was mutual because it is sooo common for 21-37 yr olds to want a 52-65 yr old."

When the old man is wealthy and connected and on tv he is hotter than the hottest guy on your Grindr feed. I am so sick of this bullshit . You mean to tell me NONE of these women gave any of these accused men a signal to lead just one of thee men on for their own gain?

Well one thing is for certain - watch the bitch implosion in corporate America as the women start fighting with each other as the men get used to the new normality.

The VIEW is the perfect example of women fighting with each other unproductively...............and who hear has not heard a woman say they would MUCH rather have a male boss than a female boss? In time that will come back in vogue.

Straight men often confuse regular friendliness with sexual interest. I'm sure these women who worked for him were very friendly and eager to please him, which in his mind meant they wanted him sexually. Of course that does not excuse his behaviour.

Oh Charlie. You should have taken Lou Reed up on his offer.

Oh R217 you make me laugh and laugh by writing this and presumably believing it:

"No, there will be no blowback because this new thinking reflects the younger generation. Their viewpoints are becoming mainstream. The old thinking is being pushed aside."

Can you be any more myopic? Do you have any idea of the attitudes in the rest of the world, outside of Midtown or LA or an office park in Kansas? Please stop.

We're talking about the world that bothers to think R273 not where they are waiting for the next episode of Wagon Train.

How many women did Rose actuaĺy screw with the promise of a job "my intellectual partner" BS and then dump? And are too ashamed to step forward?

I'd put that figure in the hundreds.

Wagon Train? Oh r274 what an ass you are.

Putin and Muslim men are laughing as they destroy you r274

Surely Gayle and Norah must have heard rumors over the years.

Can they hurry up then R276 you're boring me.

This all started with Bill Cosby, who must be enjoying all of this

R128 Bullshit. Whalestein supposedly raped women. He harrased a legion of women in a pay for play deal for film roles. What Rose did was wrong but not on Whalestein"s level.

At this point, it doesn't sound as bad as Weinstien, though it is gross and he was using his position to do all this grossness. He should have been fired a long time ago. The open robe was a shared tactic (ugh).

Weinstein was incredible not only with the harrassment and rapes, but to hire spies to further intimidate and harass and who knows what else.

Wouldn't it be nice if they just hired smart, nice people? We might get a better media/movies, too.

Not likely R281 -

Oh and have patience r276. Remember after 8 years of "woke" Obama we got Trump - so believe me, it will go the other way.

r116

Never stopped me

It is going the other way already R282 , the tide turning against entitled perverts is a direct result of Trump, king of entitled pervs, this may be his greatest ( only? ) achievement!

[quote] Rose admitted in a Fresh Dialogues interview that as a child, his insatiable curiosity was constantly getting him in trouble

"Only the democrat guests or those supporting the democrat position on some issue."

R212, you illiterate fool, "democrat" is a noun. "Democratic" is an adjective. That's why your Fox-talk makes no sense.

R137, this happened during WORK., not during a date.

Everybody, know that Peter Jennings was a womanizer and may have lost his job over his behavior with female employees if he were still alive.

Charlie is ugly but I bet he's hung like a horse.

R284 So, like that nutjob Amber Tamblyn, you're saying that, if Hillary had been elected, all these women would have been okay with staying silent about these perverts in their midst? How is that a good thing?

And your point is, R287? These women should have slept with him? They were obviously unimpressed.

A cross section of the diversity of Charlie's victims.

Charlie this morning (I think) told a TMZ "reporter" that what he did to the women wasn't "wrongdoing," he was just a bit "insensitive."

Actually it's very sensitive, Charlie, and that's why you like showing it to women so much.

Who knows R288 ? Having a woman in charge may have emboldened them to have come forward for positive reasons. What we do know is it is happening now and it's on the Perv in Chief's watch.

Some people are really delusional. Weinstein was joined at the hip with Hillary and Bill Clinton.

R294 = Roy Moore

Charlie Rose seemed the worse for wear as he walked home Monday after getting benched from all of his gigs, and he seemed to take issue with the characterization that he did something wrong.

A photog got Rose entering his New York City apartment and asked if he had anything to say to the women who accused him of "wrongdoing." Rose shot back, "It's not wrongdoings" ... then entered his building with an assist from the doorman.

He looks like he's been hitting the bottle.

R296, meet R291

How many handsy lechers who have benefitted from the office culture many here celebrate will be shitting themselves right about now?

"Not wrong doings"

It appears Charlie has spoken to his lawyer.

Breaking - CBS.just fired him...

Speaking of Roses, Rose McGowan, after learning she was about to be arrested for cocaine possession onboard a plane, suddenly blurts out sexual assault charges against Sleaze-bag Weinstein -- of course, this is after she was paid $100,000 a few years earlier to shut up. I guess this cookie is no dope. Distract, become the martyr again when drug charges are filed, and cry that "they" are trying to shut you up.

If she was so taken aback, why didn't she come out sooner. And don't give me this bullshit about being afraid. Yeah, afraid of not getting a silly job in some dumb movie. Really? Is your integrity and self worth less that a fucking movie role? When you take a man's money after the guy fondles you, you are no victim, you are an accomplice. Joan of Arc, you ain't --m no matter what these feminists may think.

Broadcast News, R264. It was the character played by William Hurt.

Those darned feminists need to get off your lawn don't they R301?

I am no longer friendly to straight men in positions of power because they invariably read it as sexual interest. I'm cold as hell (which is how I feel about them anyway, being friendly was just being polite actually) and like it or hate it, at least I do not give a shit about their sorry ass.

r304 I am no longer friendly to women because they invariably read it as sexual interest. I'm cold as hell (which is how I feel about them anyway, being friendly was just being polite actually) and like it or not, I don't give a shit because being in their company bloody boring.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger jerk.

Oh please Miss r305, you were always that way.

Never in my life did I ever think I would need to type

CHARLIE ROSE'S COLLAPSE IS COMPLETE

Charlie should be fired and put on trial for being a pervert. This is the only way people learn.

R305 Women can be sexually abusive to men(gay,straight and bi) BUT not the other way around. That is where they look like hypocrites. They can even lie about a consensual hookup and claim it was rape/assault. Not all women are like that but it would surprise people how many are like that now.

R309, meet R300.

R309 It was just announced. Charlie Rose was fired!

R294 So was Trump at one time as well.

R293 Amber Tamblyn implied - inadvertently I'm sure - that Hillary being president would have resulted in the women staying silent because anyone bringing up accusations of sexual assaults would have brought attention to Bill's perverted history and thus been hushed up by the White House just as Hillary did her best to bury accusations against Bill in the past. Therefore it's Trump's "fault" that these women came forward with their accusations against Hollywood's elite. She was trying to say that Trump being elected made women angry enough to come forward with the truth but she didn't realize what her "logic" said about these same women (if they were willing to stay quiet just because Hillary was in office) or Hillary's protection of Bill.

CBS News and PBS fire Charlie Rose

I'm still wanting to know who was the scientologist showing his teeny weeny to the Lakergirls in Bowfinger? We all know this was based on truth.

So Bill Clinton is a perv too, wicked Hillary covered it up, fuck the Clintons, he's half dead and she's a has-been , why does it matter to you so much to equate the Clintons with this R314? Bush Snr is a perv, so is Al Franken and definitely Roy Moore and many others . The whole thing is a shitshow , but it has collapsed under Trumps' watch which is unlikely to be a co-incidence as he is the supreme sleaze-bag. Trump has created within a year a toxic environment ( both literally and politically ) the like of which America has never seen ,but it has ushered in this new era of unmasking sexual predators, he can at least be credited with that.

Ying and Yang, motherfucker.

I like Anthony Mason on CBS--man I hope he's as pure as the driven snow.

Where's Charlie's purple Yoga mat?

R249, Bloomberg is as str

bump

R317 Ask Amber.

Sorry, now more than ever, I believe women are enjoying this because they are, by nature, gossipy and untrustworthy with a secret -- and squealers. Now they can do it all under the guise of being good for society but it's really no different than most whistleblowers being female (e.g. Enron) -- and then milking it as if it was some selfless move they did anonymously.

Miss R324 off his meds

(I hope the Old Boys Club remains tighter than ever and even more exclusive, even if underground. Male bonding -- college groups, frats, all of it -- goes back generations and it will take more than this to make it go away. Watch and wait.)

Cover of today's NY Daily News:

R324 is such a fucking idiot... I'm seriously curious about their IQ. I'd love to know. I'm betting on something like 105. Maybe a little less. 97?

Love the title, love the photo. Thanks R327!

This is all definitely a reaction to people finally coming around to the truth of how women are treated in workplaces all across the culture and Whalestein was the tipping point. Trump and his bullshit contributed to the weight that brought this all down. In fact, his lardass pussy grabbing was the biggest load. He's toast and he knows it. Now you all know why so many women fucking hated Hillary. Covering for that bitch, Bill, so she could have her shot.

Naked prancing!

Has this shit been stopped because of i-phones? A video of a naked, prancing Charlie, Whalestein, etc. would stop that shit pronto.

You are living in a ridiculous oversized bubble if you think Trump is toast. And this witch hunt shit is NOT HELPING the cause.

R333, a lot has changed in the year since Trump was elected.

No one would have thought that Weinstein, Spacey, Rose, etc. would all have been brought down by sexual assault allegations.

The environment may be tougher for Trump by the time of 2020.

Lol, R334

This "walker" has taken his last walk. boo hoo hoo

I'm in the bubble? What a fucking joke you are, R333. Rose, Trump, Cosby, Whalestein, et al, thought they were in the bubble of their white male privilege. Trump is, indeed, in for a big fucking surprise if he wants the job again in 2020. I'm hoping he's gone on corruption charges by then, but this 'witch hunt' (and fuck you for using that term, bitch) isn't going away anytime soon. It's been long overdue as it is.

Not happening but continue to rant if it amuses you.

If it's such a damn witch hunt why are these creepers 'fessing up to it right away? They know the score. It may not be proveable, but the court of public opinion has its own rules.

Exactly the problem, R339. Thankfully, the court of public opinion isn't worth much. Watched Dustin Hoffman's latest on NETFLIX last night and didn't remember the accusations against him until long after it was over -- and that only happened a few weeks ago. Soon all of this will be old news -- except in the back rooms of corporations that will be working overtime to make sure it doesn't happen again. Sorry, bitch all you want, but women will be the ones who pay for it.

The gays who are blaming the women for this: Where have you been, darlings? Have you not seen with your own eyes a young woman in your office or at a show or wherever you work getting perved on by an older man? How can you not see it?

I saw it happen to a colleague once and once the guy was done literally leaning on her from behind (pressing his front against her back), I said to her "THAT WAS SEXUAL HARASSMENT!" She gave me a wry smile and said she didn't mind, that's just the way some older guys treat younger women. I pressed her a little more about it but it soon dawned on me that this was very much her business.

That's the way she handled it, but do you really think that's the only valid response? Can't she also say, "that makes me uncomfortable" and if he persists, dime him out to HR or whomever? I don't get the blaming the woman shit I'm reading here.

It's old school women haters of the Erna stripe R341 they are as pathetic as the old pervs lusting after the women who are now saying 'Enough!'

That old man needed to be ejected as soon as the wattle appeared.

So I guess Charlie was showing all the girls his "snood."

A proud man flaunts his snood as part of his courtship display.

The establishment is getting rid of all these lower end creeps to protect the bigger ones who are still untouchable. This is just a diversionary tactic. I'm glad that these creeps are being exposed but it's all planned behind the scenes to safeguard the top creeps / pervs.

There is no establishment, just like there's no Patriarchy and no Elders of Zion.

Who's bigger than Trump? What's diverting us from him?

I'm enjoying every second every minute of it.

I don't feel bad for any of these white men who are being brought down. And who's long careers are ending abruptly do to there own wrong doings and ill behavior. I don't care if there liberal or conservative! White men have been been shitting on and screwing over anyone who isn't a white man for centuries. Fuck all of them!!! Most of them have things they don't deserve anyways. The chickens are coming home to roost finally. And this is only the the beginning of the beginnings. Wait until it hits the hierarchy of the major white power structure, the power brokers. I want it all burned to the fucking ground. Get all of these assholes. They all need to go.

So, how hard Matt Lauer shitting his pants? He has to be next, no?

Every lowlife male from that generation dreams of getting his own harem. Those are the ones that made it (someone neglected to tell them you don't buy girls anymore, they're looking for the time machine).

Pathetic bunch of losers

I remember there were lawsuits against bloomberg, he fired women for getting pregnant or after they got pregnant, and he made comments about their appearances but I don't think he did anything to them. He worked on wall street, it's very old boys/ frat house type of atmosphere.

No one listed @ R353 is a big player

How did these women see him nude? Did they walk into his office and he was standing there butt naked? "Oh sorry, I was just waiting for my underwear to dry."

R358, read the article.

What are you my fucking English teacher? How about someone who has already read the article, save me the wear and tear on my eyes and give me the Reader's Digest version (ie the juicy bits).

Ok, ok r360. He would go into their offices very early in the morning buck naked, and get under the desk and patiently wait there for them, and when they came in and went around their desk to sit down, he would jump out shouting "BUGGUDA BUGGUDA HEY!"

Don't forget who started it all.

Those evil white men may be pervy but I have a feeling they also stayed in school and learned how to spell beyond 3rd grade English.

It isn't about race. Or even all men. It is a predator type. Even bigger problems in other countries where women do not have any rights.

Matt Lauer will try to worm his way out of this by announcing he's decided to transition into a woman

Women can't resist a cleft chin.

I don't think it has anything to do with Clinton or Trump. It was Weinstein.

Actually, it was Bill Cosby.

You know, these women who are marching forward are not heroic. They were cowards and should be held responsible for not speaking up when it happened to them that first time. Had they stepped up bravely, a lot of other women would have been spared their assaults or harassments. These women coming forward now are accomplices. That's right. Under the guise of fear or cowardice, they allowed the man's behavior to continue and, as such, are also responsible for the abuse of his many other victims.

Heroes? Bullshit..

r262, you're a dinosaur and no one cares what your irrelevant ass has to say. Get over it, gramps.

Are the men who waited to go after Kevin Spacey cowards too? Or do you only save your withering judgment for women, r371?

You can try to lay blame and responsibility on women all you want. It's not going to work. You've worn out any good will you've ever had. Men are 100% responsible for their behavior, whether they accept that responsibilty or not.

I am a man. Was sexually assaulted by another student on my ivy league campus. AT KNIFEPOINT. He was black and on full scholarship. It was the 80's. Nobody in administration could deal with what I said, at all. Delay delay delay. Then nothing. I should have gone to the police.

Oh but wait. I was in grad school in the 90s. Another Ivy league campus. I was physically assaulted on the side walk by a gang of black youth. Bashed my face in in, laughing. Town gown. I was a pretty boy, rich looking. (not rich)

A black cop picked me up and took me to the hospital. A few days later, i went to the police, they did JACK SHIT. The black cops said "I will have a talk with them I know them form the youth centre."

I was flat broke and could not afford lawyers.

You think the women who did not "report" are cowards but you don't even know how many people actually reported such things, and met a brick wall of "we don't want to know, we don't want to see. "

Now people are obliged to listen to I hope more victims, no matter how many years ago, speak up and SMEAR THESE MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLES and it sticks to them.

I would try again about my attacker in college but somehow the lord moves in mysterious ways and somebody got him on something and he was murdered in prison. Fucker.

Eh, they don't really believe these women are cowards or liars, but they will cynically peddle that bullshit if it drags down the reputation of the accusers. That's how sick they are. If male victims are dragged down in the process, they're just collateral damage. Men are are only supportive of other men if it benefits them individually. Otherwise, they can the most vicious creatures.

Birds of a feather.

Thanks for posting R375. Sorry for the attacks you suffered and the lack of support you got.

For those who speak French, I'm posting the video below

At first this was pissing me off -- it had an air of unreality -- how could this be??? Well, reflecting on my past as a straight woman, in the words of Elaine Benis, "It be..it be"

The straight white man has been using and abusing female employees forever --/ and women were/are trained to look the other way.

This absolutely shows that in general it is the straight white MAn who is much more frequently a predator then a gay man or a minority,

Why ???? Because these assholes are accustomed to excercising unfettered power over their subordinates.

You can take the boy out of Henderson...

Who are the delusional gay men on this site who think women are harassing them? That's what I want to know. Newflash: Ancient queens are not a turn on to women.

R381 You can cram your Race baiting and junior college level sociology and political economy up your ass. This isn't about "white males". Cosby started it off, dickwad. This is about MEN. Gay, straight, etc. Men of any sexual orientation or ethnicity who get in position of power or who are untouchable, and turn into fucking PIGS.

Fuck you with your cheap racist interpretation.

Sorry, my rant was for the dumbass at R382. That is is all about white male privilege. Da fuck it is.

I kinda agree with you there, R371. Where were all these (mostly white, well educated, with means) women--even the Cosby accusers everyone credits for being in the vanguard of this current moment-- just a few years ago, when that poor, black African immigrant hotel maid dropped a dime on the internationally powerful rapist head of the IMF? When he fucking humiliated her, raped her mouth, ejaculated in her and went on his way as if she were less than the dirt beneath his feet?

Where were all the [bold]#metoo[/bold] choruses for HER?

FFS, it's happening now. Let's just continue cause there's a lot more to take down. Unless you'd like us to stop, R387?

Sorry for double post. DL is whack.

Sorry for double post. DL is whack.

Don't worry, r385. No one with two brain cells to rub together thinks this is exclusive to white men. In fact, the problem might be even worse for non-straight, non-white men because they've been flying under the radar for so long.

for, or with?

The Clinton basher needs to get stuffed. I never believed Bill Clinton forced himself on any of those women. So there is absolutely no equivalency there. And Hillary did nothing to "cover up" for her husband.

I love the incontinent old gay men telling us what they believe. Some of you spend your days grabbing young men's asses. Who is going to listen to you?

"You can try to lay blame and responsibility on women all you want. It's not going to work. You've worn out any good will you've ever had. Men are 100% responsible for their behavior, whether they accept that responsibiilty or not."

Right because God knows women won't take responsibility for anything. This just gives them one more way around it.

The old "As Good As It Gets" joke on how to write a female character: "Write a man and then take away Reason and Accountability". Never more true.

r396, you're babbling again. Time for you AND Nicholson to get your diapers changed again. There's (not too much) shame in that. Let me call the nurse for you, you dear old fart.

r371 lounging in his bachelor pad.

Nice try, you ageist cunt. But I'm probably younger than you are.

You are in no position to call me names, idiot. No one is more ageist than young gay men. The utter audacity of a sexist shithead getting on his high horse to moralize. Unbelievable.

[quote] Eight women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them

16 women now. Sixteen women victimized by the woke silver-fox of the holier then thou DC beltway.

Hello. r262

Hey, I can post links too.

Aww, look at r371 acting all high and mighty behind his keyboard. At least those women spoke up. You wouldn't even dream of saying anything like that in real life, so why don't you cut it out. And shame on you for blaming women for the things men do. You are one sad, truly fucked up individual.

r270, oh fuck off. So tired of gay men getting their girly kicks out of turning women against each other. We're not your puppets. So you want play the big strong man for respect.and then play girl when it's time for fun and games? It doesn't work that way, which is why you get no respect. It's over and done with so go play in your own backyard. And believe me, gay men have plenty of their own drama to sort out so take care of your own business and stay out of other people's business.

Men are trash.

can't believe some pretty bright 21 year olds weren't hot for this old geezer!

he's worse than bill o'reily.

certainly a much bigger hypocrite

One of the journalists who broke this story at the Washing Post had tried to break it back in 2010 while she was at Jezebel, but she kept hitting a brick wall. So since this was a well known secret.

Being a man of a certain generation, I am very happy to know that Charlie is not a towel dancer. He just lets it all hang out.

I was thinking of that too r9. On the scale of sexual harassers O'Reilly is starting to look like a milder one.

Dykes - one and all!

Three more women from CBS.

The three CBS employees spoke on condition of anonymity, reports CBS News correspondent Bianna Golodryga.

One says she's not ready for details of her allegations to become public. The other two described unwanted encounters with Rose at work-related events. One claims he groped her rear. The other says he grabbed her inappropriately and whispered a sexual innuendo in her ear. Our CBS News communication office issued a statement saying: "This is new information. Beyond that, we have no comment at this time."

Former "Charlie Rose" show producer Rebecca Carroll tells us she witnessed inappropriate behavior, but "there wasn't anybody to talk to," she said. "There wasn't anybody to tell."

[quote]Former "Charlie Rose" show producer Rebecca Carroll tells us she witnessed inappropriate behavior, but "there wasn't anybody to talk to," she said. "There wasn't anybody to tell."

Interesting.

Gayle King and Nora O'Donnell sure were pissed after the news broke. If he we're in the studio, they probably would have hung him by the balls in front of the CBS building.

I agree, R192. Hate his accent. Hated his way of interrupting his guests. Hated the way his show was edited. Still, am surprised by this news.

Seriously, most Southerners lose that accent when they become prominent in Show Biz, Entertainment. Politics, of course, no.

Charlie's arrogance led him to keep his annoying accent. No offense to other Southerners. Charlie is a douche.

FF to R262, R263

I agree with a reply upthread that this is about a small percentage of men (and, yes, sometimes women) who are these egotistical, predatory types; and who are each responsible for a lifetime's worth of many victims.

I am female and realize it is of course not "all men" who are like this.

It is high-time this type of power abuse ended. So glad to see the air being cleared of this way of interacting between those "in power" and those who perceive themselves to be not "in power."

Charlie Rose got potential heir Josh Elliott ‘ousted’ from CBS

CBS is begging Oprah to fill in for Charlie Rose on the CBS Morning show. Don't know if they mean temporarily, or what?

God, the eyes on this guy.

Seriously, could no one see? People sometimes don't want to see.

R423 I don't see Oprah waking up at 3 am to prepare for a morning show

That's what pre-recordings are for, R425.

Oprah would be terrible on there, she'd keep talking and never let the other two say a word.

So is there video? Audio? What do we have to look forward to?

Gayle King would be turned into Oprah's giggly girlfriend. She would be diminished.

R34 MAybe you need a filter. perhaps you are charging too little. Up your Whore rates and that will lessen the old trolls

Rose always look sloppy and unkept. His suits look like the came from Goodwill, and are at least two or three sizes too large. And how often does he get a haircut, twice a year ? And he certainly isn't spending $$$ on botox. He's a mess !

Please ........ I don't want to hear about Oprah's Favorite Things : Special CBS Christmas Edition.

Gwynnie looks like she's more interested in her cigarette than where "Charlie's" hands are.

Do we believe the accusers of Charlie Rose because he isn't an elected member of Congress?

Not Oprah. Can't they put an intelligent person on? One that could ask intelligent questions on the Charlie Rose show? Get someone from behind the scenes, or publishing or elsewhere. Not a "celebrity."

What R435 said. Definitely someone who actually can get deeper, not another famous face to zombie us out first thing in the morning.

"That's what pre-recordings are for, [R425]."

Even you cannot be that stupid. It is a LIVE F'ING MORNING SHOW - how much can be pre-recorded.

Well that being aid, Oprah would be awful, and baed on Erica Hill's teary story - Charlie was a mean old man and - this is not surprising - Nora O'Donnell is an absolute mean girl.

r431 he did look unkempt and old.

Where is Josh Elliott working these days?

Maybe he'll finally have the time to ditch those bags under his eyes.

Bring Barbara Wawa back.

Both Walters and Rose were the worst ever. Good riddance to both of them. So many wonderful people they had to talk to and there was nothing there but ad copy.

You know why there are no famous good interviewer's? Because it is totally about the person being interviewed and therefore the interviewer has to be self-effacing and then remove themselves from the equation. Maybe the closest was Dick Cavett when he was on PBS.

After 10 minutes Rose would put you to sleep and Walters inane questions made you want to beat her with whatever tree she felt like that day.

I'm glad you mentioned that R431. I could barely watch him with his shirt collars flipping up - ALWAYS. Did this mean he did a rush job of getting dressed because he'd just molested a female co-worker?

Charlie Rose’s Walter Cronkite Award Revoked by Journalism School

He doesn't seem to be r439.

Josh Elliott today. Just one more life destroyed by Charlie Rose.

[quote]Do we believe the accusers of Charlie Rose because he isn't an elected Democratic member of Congress?

Fixed.

Will he commit suicide?

I really don't understand how he was still working at age 75 for 2 different networks when he was so TERRIBLE at his job and had this sleazy reputation. He also looked awful on camera.

I could understand if this was years ago but his case really does seem like from another time. He must know where the bodies are buried on several people.

At some point r449, one becomes an "institution" just by habit, I guess.. He really has a distinctive look, voice and "brand", however lame ass, and old people love him. He will be a social pariah now. I've seen him at small private home dinners with the mucky mucks here in NYC with Amanda Burden, guzzling red wine and getting loquacious and glassy-eyed. Not pretty, but as far as I knew, harmless. I guess not! He's DONE!

Why do you think that, R450? Epstein and Allen have been embraced?

"You know why there are no famous good interviewer's?"

Howard Stern is a very good interviewer, but as far as TV... yeah.

The ONLY home I've ever seen Woody Allen at is Santiago Calatrava's. His wife Robertita Calatrava is....well, let's just say I think she enjoys some level of reflected fame around her. Plus, bringing up Allen who has been accused by ONE deranged actress of something she didn't witness after she was spurned is really not the same thing as Charlie Rose, though I assume to you they are analogous.

"You know why there are no famous good interviewer's?"

Oh dear. What's with the apostrophe, illiterate one?

Leonard Lopate on WNYC is a good interviewer.

I don't want them to get a celebrity. I want someone smart, well-read.

I am 53 and I LOVED Charlie Rose for many years. In fact, I went to see a live taping of his show at the 92nd street Y many years ago and his guest was one of my favorite actors ....................KEIN SPACEY. I think that night now and I just shake my head in disbelief.

Charlie always had wonderful shows devote to people never shown on tv - authors not shown elsewhere - plus intelligent, comprehensive hours at the Met or the Frick going through their exhibitions. Who will do that now?

R456, not to bash on you, but in many cultural ways you were just misguided for a long time. I'm 14 years younger and got KS number for a long time (since American Beauty, which I hated - did you like that piece of crap movie?). As for Charlie Rose, he managed to put me to sleep with a single video interviewing one of my favourite artists - a feat not achieved by many.

I did have a major fight with a uni acquaintance over American Beauty, actually. We were both around 22 at the time. She must be a Trump voter by now. The irony is she married an openly gay guy and they have "threesomes" because she likes to see guys fuck together. She is basically her husband's maid and cook, he brings guys home from wherever he finds them on a regular basis. Socially they're working-middle-class. Very racist. She can be very generous if she believes you can be trusted. Will freak out on you if you haven't called for a week.

Don't hold back, R453, where is your ode to Epstein, Allen's buddy?

R454 I know that's wrong but sometimes apostrophes get in there-I don't know why but it's been happening since I started reading the internet and I sometimes don't catch them when proof-reading.

Also we're/where, their/there, no/know... I swear these mistakes never happened before. Lame I no but their you have it.

[quote]Straight men often confuse regular friendliness with sexual interest. I'm sure these women who worked for him were very friendly and eager to please him, which in his mind meant they wanted him sexually.

This times 10.

[quote]R88 The backlash on this is going to hurt women more than they know. No, it’s not fair, but it will happen.

Another way of placing the onus on women. Congrats.

And it doesn't just "hurt women." (Nice way to see women as The Other and completely separate from you.) When people are treated sleazily it hurts ALL of us. Because it's disgusting, and they're our family, neighbors, loved ones, and fellow human beings.

I'm sorry you don't feel that.

[quote] Straight men often confuse regular friendliness with sexual interest.

Some years ago, there was a story I read about a retail chain that wanted to improve customer service. In the pre-debit card days when you had to give your credit card to the cashier, the company wanted the customer service rep to personally thank the customer by name. For instance, a man pays by credit card, the cashier sees the name on the card and responds at the end of the transaction, "Thank-you Jason, have a great day." There were no problems with female customs; however, the men, not knowing that this was a policy started interpreting the personal greetings as "come-ons" and would ask for phone numbers and dates, etc. This became such a problem that the store had a revolt among the female customer service reps and had to terminate the policy.

Bump

NO bump, R463. We're finished with this loser - - - LONG ago.
