Kyle Godfrey-Ryan  a former assistant to  Rose  in the mid-2000s and one of the three accusers who spoke to the Post on the record  claimed that  Rose  walked nude in front of  her  at one of his homes in New York City and called  her  in the wee hours to describe fantasies of watching  her  swim naked.  She  said that  she  reported his calls to  Rose 's longtime executive producer  Yvette Vega  who apparently told  her   "That's just Charlie being Charlie." Vega told the Post and later confirmed to ABC News that she regretted not doing more for Godfrey-Ryan and others who mounted similar complaints.
Godfrey-Ryan said that ultimately   Rose  fired her  and she later left journalism.
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.
Megan Creydt  the third woman who spoke to the Post on the record  overlapped with Godfrey-Ryan when she worked as a coordinator on  Rose 's show from 2005 to 2006. Creydt claimed that  Rose  put his hand on her thigh  which alarmed her.
In a statement to ABC News  Yvette Vega  executive producer on âCharlie Rose â said: âI should have stood up for them. I failed. It is crushing. I deeply regret not helping them.â
In a story published later Monday evening by Business Insider  three other women  all former âCharlie Roseâ interns  also accused  Rose  of inappropriate behavior  speaking to the site on the condition of anonymity. One  an intern in 2010  said  Rose  touched her legs in a car while his driver took them back to her college dorm. She said months later he invited her to his hotel room to discuss a potential job. She ended up not going and never heard from him again  she said.
"PBS was shocked to learn today of these deeply disturbing allegations " the network said in a statement. "'Charlie Rose' is produced by Charlie Rose  Inc.  an independent television production company. PBS does not fund this nightly program or supervise its production  but we expect our producers to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect."
Bloomberg says it has suspended broadcasts of "Charlie Rose." "We are deeply disturbed to learn of these allegations and are immediately suspending the show from airing on Bloomberg TV " the company said in a statement.
