I'll bet it really sucks to be Charlie Rose right now.
I mean...it surely would have sucked to be Charlie Rose even before they sh*tcanned his a55. But now he inhabits a one-man universe of limitless suckitude from which he likely will never emerge.
I'm sure he'll have a jolly old time shuttling between his six residences...Manhattan, Long Island, two in North Carolina, DC, and Paris .

Doesn't matter where he goes, of course. At this point, he can never escape his own stupidity, along with his newfound worldwide renown for being stupid, the number of pieces of real estate he'll have to list for sale notwithstanding.
Why didn't CBS do something before? One of the victims went to someone in CBS about this and was told "it's just Charlie being Charlie." Why did CBS look the other way? Ratings? Afraid more rocks would be turned over?
Or too busy chastising Robert Murdoch?
Why did co-hosts Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell keep silent? Rose worked with them for years. It's hard to believe secrets like Charlie's can stay secret that long. Especially in a news organization. They're reporters after all. Supposed to have a nose for news, aren't they?
It's a schadenfreude moment. An arbiter of American culture, a deplorer of the deplorables, hoist on his own pitard. Humble pie, eating crow, the village stocks: in another time it would have been the guillotine.
None of the women making accusations worked for CBS......at least so far. They all worked for him.
He had his own production company to produce his show. The woman you quoted worked directly for him at his privately owned company. She was the executive producer for his show.
The public knows so little about those who are famous for one reason or the other...
Glad he's fired but I was never a fan anyway.

I worked in network news and it was a boys' club flat out. Sexual harassment was rampant and accepted by those women who wanted careers in tv. Entertainment division was just as bad.
Many of those very famous guys are dead now, but would be brought down like Rose if they were around. They were extremely famous and powerful and got away with anything.
I knew women who had been harassed (some of it was pretty gross) and I asked them why they didn't report it--they wanted to keep their jobs and have careers in network news. The guys were super powerful. It's a little like selling your soul. I'm afraid a lot of this is the revenge of those women who kept their mouths shut at the time, but the fact is that they kept quiet for selfish reasons.
I worked as a broadcast tech at a network O & O. One of the techs was a serial harasser & if a female didn't give in, he'd set that female up when a layoff was impending. I know, he did it to me. It was common knowledge, but he had dirt on the boss.

I find it hard to believe in the little Peyton Place that is the media that stories of Rose's extracurricular activities were not shared.
Anyway, CBS knew about it. They did nothing while the lid was kept on. Firing him once the lid came off hardly covers them with glory.
Except that in the case of Charlie Rose, he admits to these charges.
