Letterman Sexual Harassment?

Does anyone expect the women who worked at Letterman's WorldWide Pants to sue for sexual harassment or hostile work environments?

He admitted to having sex with interns and employees --- Some got on the show more frequently than others. Interns who did not have sex with Letterman may have felt inferior to those who did not have to work hard or creatively because they just bedded the boss.

I hope lawyers are looking for clients from his staff (current and former) and that he is sued out of existence. I believe that this "Blackmail" bit was a Letterman Ratings Grab --- His market share was low and Night line was up. CBS may have been in on it--- Was the NYC AG told to prosecute because CBS would relocate the show to LA?

    Wow . You have quite a fantasy life . You make up the crimes and convict people too. Letterman was the victim of a crime . Whether or not there are others ,who are victims of his, is yet to be seen . But no one has as of yet come forward to complain about Letterman .

    Now , why are you making up conspiracies ? You need a life.

    Letterman has been doing better than Conan on Tonight and Leno comes on before Letterman now. And ratings are up. So I'm not sure where you get your arguments.

    Letterman had an affair or maybe more than one. He is immoral. His wife is hurt. Doesn't condone someone trying to extort money.

    As to harassment? Could be. If he coerced women or quid pro who then they have a claim. If anyone was promoted or treated better then others have a claim. Maybe it was just two consenting adults, though one was married. In old days she could have been sued for alienation of affection as she knew he was married. Why do women no longer care that the guy has a wife and perhaps a family? Whose morals are worse?

    That's all conjecture Colleen. Do you have evidence in your claim that this had transpired?

    How do you know that the interns who had sex with Letterman worked less?

    Interesting that you use a lot of words like "I think" or "I believe" and " I hope" etc.

    "I think", "I believe", "I hope" you will investigate this further so you can talk about this in a way that isn't just your gut feeling. My gut feeling is that you don't know what you are talking about.

    Your thoughts are interesting but very irrational. If someone till now would have felt that they had been taking advantage of, they would surely have

    gone public with it before now.

    Letterman was not married until recently and if his now wife was

    happy with such an arrangement, she has to accept the fact that her Man was single and not bound by any vows.

    He's a rich "dirty old man" boss who might have used his position of power to make out with his staff.

    He is definitely not funny. And this is worse than one of his "Stupid Pet Tricks".
