CBS Late Show host David Letterman announced on last night’s show that he has had sexual relationships with female employees and that because of these affairs, he was the target of an extortion attempt. Letterman said he worked with the Manhattan district attorney’s office concerning the extortion attempt. It all came to a head only yesterday when Letterman issued a fake $2 million check to the individual attempting to extort him and the person was immediately arrested.
The Associated Press is reporting that the person attempting to extort Letterman is Robert J. Halderman, a producer for the CBS television investigative news show 48 Hours. CBS has announced that Halderman has been suspended, pending the criminal case.
As far as sexual affairs go, sleeping around with your own employees is especially creepy. It’s hard to tell just how much Letterman’s position of power played into the minds of his sexual partners. Did any of them feel undue pressure to have sex with him? Did any of them worry about getting fired if they didn’t have sex with Letterman?
How long before this story becomes an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent?
