Washington Post: Eight women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them — with nudity, groping and lewd calls
Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.
The women were employees or aspired to work for Rose at the “Charlie Rose” show from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011. They ranged in age from 21 to 37 at the time of the alleged encounters. Rose, 75, whose show airs on PBS and Bloomberg TV, also co-hosts “CBS This Morning” and is a contributing correspondent for “60...

WNU Editor: I was shocked to read this story. I have been watching the Charlie Rose Show since the late 1990s. And while I usually disagreed with him, his show always had fascinating and interesting people to watch and listen to. Until last year .... my routine was to go to bed at 11:30 PM, turn on the TV, and watch his show until I fell asleep .... usually waking up a few hours later to close the TV because I had fallen asleep. And when I had the GF over, or I was traveling and/or staying in Moscow, I always made sure that his program was taped, so that when I got back to Montreal I had scores of his episodes to watch. Sighhhh .... I know that his career is now over. His show will not be brought back. Another icon destroyed because of his personal weaknesses and stupidity.
On a side note .... Charlie Rose's response tonight to these allegations was also telling .... he now admits what this blog has been saying for the past year .... the culture is changing in the U.S.. And wow!!!! On just this day this is what made the news ....

From the powerful .... to the not so powerful .... the old fears are no longer there. Women are definitely speaking out.

This is so weird. I've never harassed, molested or otherwise harmed a woman. Instead I've been sexually "harassed" 3-5 times...depending on if you count being touched between the legs by a woman. ..I guess it counts. . But i never gave it another thought because while it felt mildly offensive I wasn't troubled by it. I took it as compliment and shrugged it off ...I thought it happens in both directions..with men perhaps doing it in a more annoying way. But this level of aggression, manipulation and criminality we're seeing shocks me ..Weinstein is ..I just can't understand it. .dozens if not more. .and he suppressed them for years. .. I can't imagine how much time, effort and criminal drive this takes. .let alone the insanity of it all. While I applaud the women for speaking up, I wonder if we guys just never at all talk about it when it happens the other direction? Or are we really that fcked up?
Note :I'm average looking. But I've definitely been harassed. .some girls aggressively following me for months. But I honestly just took it as flattering. .it never became violent though. .that's the difference I guess..the worst was a slap in the face for rejecting a woman. ..but the longest unpleasant stalking and mild harassment lasted for several months if not almost a year.
Wtf is going on lol it feels like some people (rich/powerful?) are in sexual overdrive and become super weird and aggressive. .. Bill O'Reilley paid 30+million to a former affair to keep quiet. wtf do you do in bed that it is so important that she doesn't talk? 30 million! Or does he have a micro dick and is ashamed it something? I just don't get it.
PS one thing that happens to me often, at work or whenever I engage with women on a professional level (eg apartment service manager, or anywhere else where I see them a long time/often): if I don't flirt with them they often become difficult to work with and almost hostile..that's why I also never get these headlines where so many guys at work seem to get into trouble..but ladies never. .or almost never. .. I can't count how many times this happened to me and it does make my life difficult because I still had to work (and in one case still have to) "work" with those ladies..but their micro aggressions never seem to count to the HR department. Or when a female co-worker literally during an already quite sexist presentation (in which an all female club at work met to discuss advancement of women at work and how tough it is and then gave a presentation on it) she literally said "women are just so much better". In front of hr and the Whole company. And she was one of those who gave me micro aggression hell for a year. ...am I the only guy?? Or maybe I'm thin skinned. And I recognise there's a vast difference between a rapist and what those ladies did. But it still is annoying and makes my professional life difficult. And it happened at nearly every company. My apartment manager asked me 5 (!) times over two months if I wanted to go have dinner with her. That's when I moved in. ..it has stopped by now but dealing with her remains awkward.
What was that tune they were humming?

ROSE: I care about a almost as much as you do in terms of being a political junkie, but there are questions you don't know in terms of -- I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is, I really don't know.
BROKAW: No, no, I don't either.
ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is and where it wants to go and how smart he is about that, or India, or the whole global structure.
BROKAW: Well, one of the things that.

"Reah Bravo, who worked alongside Rose beginning in 2007, claimed to the Post that she was groped -- sometimes forcefully -- by Rose on more than one occasion. In 2008, she said that as she prepared to accept a new job, Rose offered her a position in Washington, D.C., and the opportunity to live in his Georgetown residence. She declined." -ABC News
"happy to give [Bill Clinton] a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal."
- Nina Burleigh formerly was the White House correspondent for Time Magazine
(So that is one reason why Time magazine is in trouble.)
So Reah Bravo does not have what it takes to get ahead in the liberal world!
She should have sought advice from Nina.

“ONE OF MY DUTIES WHILE WORKING FOR REP. CONYERS WAS TO KEEP A LIST OF WOMEN"
I think we have been very unfair to Jesse Jackson.
He was just imitating his peers.
Jesse Jackson was an equal opportunity assaulter. There was a staffer brave enough to call Jesse before it was cool to do so.
I think soon society will reach the point to implement sexual segregation , people don't remember that all of these people are 60s,70s generation (sexual revolution ,summer of love ..) who where outliers compare to the more strict previous generations
I would be for sexual segregation. Would make my professional life much easier and much more enjoyable. Plus then we can really see who's better at a job.
...and now, moron, address Trump and his pussy grabbing and the 20 or so lawsuits against him for that which you accuse liberals...you are as always tiresome
Assuming with moron you mean Aizino? :) he can make actually quite informed comments. .on a good day it's interesting to read his sometimes well researched, well articulated comments. On other days he sounds half psychopathic lol
No offense, Aizino. ..im just puzzled by your intellectual variations from one day to the next. Looking forward to your next good comment :)
Anon,
I am enjoying this bloodbath immensely. For years Democrats have said there is a Republican War on Women.
So all these people from Harveywood, the MSM, & the Beltway falling is delicious.
One of the latest casualties is Lena Dunham. Now, on top of being a perv molesting her sister, we know know she is a hipster-racist.
I do agree and enjoy that the hypocrisy is coming out in the open. However, so far as I can tell, al franken (Democrat) showed mostly juvenile behaviour. And as he was a professional comedian before his political career and as the woman forgave him, I would not even closely put him in the same category as Weinstein (D?) and that Moore guy (R). We need to weigh the offences individually. Fake groping for a laugh is different from methodical rape. It's not even in the same ball park. So while I do enjoy the blood bath too, we need to be careful not to kill someone's career over a bad choice. I've been grabbed between the legs by women uninvited before, would I destroy their career? No I would not. .one was clearly attracted to me and the other was just plain drunk. And it's different for guys anyways - at least in my case I was easily able to push them aside as I'm relatively strong. My point is that we should not group them all together. Weinstein is almost a monster. Al Franken seems to need to do some reflection mostly. ..unless there's more stuff coming out, of course.
And women need to make sure they don't ruin their metoo movement. There is a lot of hypocrisy going on in my opinion as I have been harassed quite a few times by women but it would never come to my mind to report it. It feels like crying wolf in some cases and little self reflection about what madness,sexism and often incompetence we have to deal with when it comes to women day in and day out... I was posting in another threat about extremely sexist behaviour women get away with at work (in front of HR - who happened to also be a woman), so I feel that at one point if there's no self reflection and consideration about grouping someone like Al Franken who did way less offensive things than what I had to deal with many times, then I'll start an UsToo movement for men haha of course I won't..men just don't do that. .and I'm glad monsters like Weinstein or bill Cosby get the spotlight on them (and hopefully prison)..just to any lady reading this. .you're no angels either :)
1) The woman, who forgave Franken, has already been taken to task by feminists. So was the forgiveness real?
If we can ask if an apology is real, we can ask if forgiveness is real.
The woman has already been taken to task by feminists (Vivian Copeland for one), who wrote various essays trashing her. Since she is in the media, maybe she fears for her job.
"Feminist ‘Nasty Woman’ Slut-Shames Franken’s Accuser: Appearing in Playboy is Asking for It"
"Feminist Writer: Franken's Accuser Probably Lying Because She Was In Playboy, Supported Trump"
2) More women are coming out & pictures are coming out.
3) So is the new liberal standard (which they will break) , that if a person is a comedian, they are allowed to get handsy with you of you are in a picture with them? You want to go there?
4) And the Libtards are making excuses
