Charlie Rose has been accused of making unwanted sexual advances towards eight women in a blistering new expose published by The Washington Post.

Among the claims being made by the women are that Rose would grope their breasts, buttocks and genitals without their consent, make lewd telephone calls, and walk around naked in their presence without warning.

The women who have come forward with these claims about Rose, 75, were all between the ages of 21 and 37 at the time of the alleged misconduct and working for the legendary television host.

Two former employees said that the young female assistants and producers Rose would constantly surround himself with were known as 'Charlie's Angels.'

In a lengthy statement in response to the expose, Rose did not deny all of the allegations being made by the women but said that he did not believe all of his accusers were 'accurate' in heir description of his offenses.

'It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed,' stated Rose.

'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.'

The backlash was swift for Rose, with PBS and Bloomberg announcing they would no longer air his eponymous talk show within an hour of the Post publishing their story on Monday and CBS suspending the host.


Three of the women who came forward agreed to use their names while the other five accusers who spoke on the record asked that their identities not be revealed for fear of possible repercussions.

Kyle Godfrey-Ryan was one of the three who agreed to let the Post use her name as she detailed her time working as Rose's assistant a decade ago in New York City.

She claims that Rose walked around naked in front of her at least a dozen times while the two were working from his home.

Godfrey-Ryan also alleged that Rose would call her late at night or early in the morning to describe his fantasies of seeing her swim naked in his pool.

She was later fired by Rose she claims when he learned that she had shared details of his behavior with a friend.

That move came shortly after Godfrey-Ryan said she approached Rose's longtime producer Yvette Vega about the calls.

'That’s just Charlie being Charlie,' was Vega's response according to Godfrey-Ryan.

It was around this same time that Harvard graduate Megan Crydt joined the team as a coordinator, working from 2005 to 2006 with Rose.

She found herself at the receiving end of an unwanted sexual advance while riding with Rose in his Mini Cooper, claiming that the host put his hand on her thigh as he was driving through the city.

Her boyfriend confirmed the story, saying Crydt had told him at the time.

'I don’t think I said anything,' said Crydt.

'I tensed up. I didn’t move his hand off, but I pulled my legs to the other side of the car. I tried not to get in a car with him ever again. I think he was testing me out.'

Two former interns are among the accusers who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

One, who worked for Rose in the early 90s, said she was summoned to work the desk at his New York home, where he would shower and use the bathroom with the door open.

She claims that at one point he turned on the shower and immediately began calling her name.

When she refused to respond her suddenly appeared standing over her in the nude, wearing nothing but a towel.

An intern working for Rose 10 years later claimed that he groped her breasts while also trying to get her to spend the night at his Bellport home on Long Island.

She claims to have refused that offer multiple times.

Her now-husband backed up these allegations by stating he had been told about the incidents at the time when the two were dating.

This conduct continued for so long despite the staff numbering approximately 15 people ever since the show began in 1991 because of Rose's pull said that intern.

'Everybody is terrified of him,' she explained.

'He creates this environment of constant fear. And then he’ll shine a spotlight on you and make you feel amazing.'

Vega's presence also helped according to the women, two of whom said they spoke with the producer about his alleged misconduct.

Stupid hypocrites.

I don't care about this shit. I don't care that Charlie Rose has a stiff dick and has allowed his impulses to drive his behavior. I don't care about any of it, beyond the fact that the leftists are now being taken down by the stupid shit that they started. Enjoy, idiots. It's not working out like you planned. Pity.

this implosion is almost as much to watch as the Georgia Dome but without the recreational pyrotechnics

Wow.

I guess I've always done it wrong. It was usually opening doors, dinner, movie, walk to the door. Awaiting for obvious signs of interest.

Never knew one could just hire someone and then just show up nekkid. Cop a feel and give them unoriginal nicknames.

Hysterical Bama!

Boy, it's a good thing Hugh Hefner passed away before all of this started.

I wonder if Leon Phelps should be nervous

Yeah, he's swoll alright.

Oh wait, you said "swell." Nevermind.

And the drum beat goes on.

The day may be at hand when even this is too dangerous.

As the father of daughters, the allegations against me are troubling. I imagined that any woman would have been thrilled to see a tiny penis peeking out from below my pasty, middle-aged paunch like the head of a geriatric albino turtle moments from death, and of course now I realize my behavior was wrong. In conclusion, I will not change anything about my actions or behavior.

These are the people who lecture us about morality....

Charlie Rose thought walking around naked would appeal to, well, anyone? I threw up a little just reading that he did that.

I never thought grabbing my co-workers by the ass or exposing myself to them was a good idea. I'm not that much younger than some of these guys. What are they thinking?

On the other hand, when all this stuff comes out five, ten, or twenty years later, I am tempted to think the accuser is too late.

Ummm.... Yeah.

The beauty of all of this is that the leftists have over-played their hand and it is now biting them in the ass.

The downside is that this will carry over into everyday life for all of us. HRs everywhere are in the process of drafting new rules as we speak. Pretty soon we won't be able to even look at a woman without being brought up on charges.

And, yeah, five, ten, or twenty years later? Sorry, you have no credibility in my book. If it was that abhorrent and you were that traumatized, you'd do something immediately (or within a few days of thinking it over). This long? Nope.

Yep. Any man who has a private meeting with any woman at work is literally insane. Same for going out with one after work - I don't care if you are both single, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Put yourself in a situation where it is strictly your word against hers? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
