FYI, This is not the person I know but I heard the same thing about Letterman from a ex NBC Employee.

[FONT=Verdana,Sans-serif]She quit Letterman's NBC show, Scovell wrote, because she saw "I was not going to thrive professionally in that workplace. And although there were various reasons for that, sexual politics did play a major part."[/FONT]
My Way News - Ex-Letterman writer claims hostile environment
And the double standard is unbelievable here. On The View Barbara Walters said that Dave “is a very attractive man” and also said “Where do you meet people? In the workplace.”
Not minimizing what happened recently, but this is talking about a disgruntled writer whose career didn't meet her own expectations talking about stuff that happened 25 years ago. Not saying that it wasn't the truth, but this person has reasons to try and shift the blame.
Actually he's never been accused of that, only in this thread and then by people trying to create a sexy headline to attach themselves to the issue to try and remain relevant (activist groups), that article is the first accusation... 25 years after the fact. I don't expect it to go far.
He admitted to having affairs with female staff members. According to Letterman he didn't even tell his wife about it. I have no doubt that women who slept with him got better jobs and perks that others didn't .
[FONT=Verdana,Sans-serif]"Other high-level male employees were having sexual relationships with female staffers as well, she alleges, and the women gained professional benefits from those relationships."[/FONT]
I believe her.
I can't tell if you are outraged or jealous. This is heading dangerously close to sonic babble territory.

How so?
Can't we have a discussion without the "hall monitor" coming along and reporting us to the teacher? (again)
No. I'm not a woman but so far Letterman has been the only one that covered it up and lied about . His wife would agree with me.Are you one of those women? Were you there in that workplace?
If you were neither, you know nothing. What's to believe?
And that's all you know, so things like " I have no doubt that women who slept with him got better jobs and perks that others didn't ." are more than inappropriate.
Let's discuss charges, and things that have happened rather than randomly hating on Letterman to reinforce what you already thought of him (a "strange man").
The way he talked about it on his show was really disgusting. Having his audience laugh about it and applaud. Give me a break. Very unconfetable to watch . Letterman should know better. And it looks like an intern has come forward with information about a relationship with Letterman , Holly Hester.
Yeah and you were ready to latch onto whatever negative this first lady had to say, and then she had nothing but good things and moved on waiting for the next bit of negative information. Now you have someone to hang your hat on... she's in the minority so far of the people involved in this.
Worked there for 5 months nineteen years ago and felt 'tension'. Wow, Dave is an evil, evil man. Speaking out to expose inequalities in the workplace, how noble, perhaps that would have been relevant nineteen years ago. I'm not posting in defense of David Letterman, im posting in defense of common sense.
