Charlie Rose
“CBS This Morning” co-host and  longtime PBS star Charlie Rose  has been accused by eight women of making unwanted sexual advances toward them and admitted to some of the misconduct in a statement  according to the Washington Post. Both PBS and CBS suspended  him .
 Rose’s  alleged misconduct includes making lewd phone calls  walking around naked and groping the womens breasts  buttocks or genital areas  according to the Post.  Rose’s  accusers were employees or “aspired to work for  Rose  at The Charlie Rose show’ on PBS from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011.”
“CBS This Morning” has been growing rapidly since it launched in 2012  but still struggles to match the viewership of rivals “Today” and “Good Morning America ” while  Rose ’s show on PBS has aired regularly since 1991.  Rose ’s PBS show is filmed at the Bloomberg LP headquarters  making three major media organizations tied up in the latest harassment scandal.
"PBS was shocked to learn today of these deeply disturbing allegations. We are immediately suspending distribution of ' Charlie Rose ' " PBS said in a statement.
CBS also suspended  Rose  but did not respond to request for additional comment.
 Rose’s  accusers were between 21 and 37 years old at the time of the alleged encounters and the Post noted that there are “striking commonalities” in the accounts of the women. His alleged behavior typically included offering jobs to females and then using his power to put them in uncomfortable positions of a sexual nature. He allegedly would offer women a six-figure position that disappeared once they rejected his advances.
“I have behaved insensitively at times  and I accept responsibility for that  though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate." -  Charlie Rose
 He  has expressed remorse for some of the allegations.
“In my 45 years in journalism  I have prided  myself  on being an advocate for the careers of the women with whom I have worked ”  Rose  said in a statement provided to The Post. “Nevertheless  in the past few days  claims have been made about my behavior toward some former female colleagues… It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed.”
 Rose  continued: “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.”
Ironically   Rose  once appeared as himself on an episode of the Netflix series “House of Cards ” which has been rocked by the accusations against Spacey.
According to the report by Post contributor Irin Carmon and investigative reporter Amy Brittain  one accuser  Reah Bravo  was an intern and then associate producer for  Rose ’s PBS show beginning in 2007. In various interviews  she detailed unwanted sexual advances from  Rose .
Another accuser  Kyle Godfrey-Ryan  was  Rose ’s former assistant and detailed “at least a dozen instances where  Rose  walked nude in front of  her  while  she  worked in one of his New York City homes.”  She  claims the CBS and PBS star also “repeatedly called”  her  “at night or early in the morning to describe his fantasies of  her  swimming naked.”
