Television host Charlie Rose is eroticized subjecthoodthe latest media man to be accused of sexual misconduct, and his female colleagues are weighing in.
After The Washington Post reported that eight women had come forward to speak out against Rose on Monday, CBS This Morning's Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell addressed the allegations on air,acknowledging Rose was their co-worker but making it clear they stand with the women who came forward.
SEE ALSO: Longtime television host Charlie Rose accused of groping women and exposing himself"It takes a lot of courage for these women to come forward and I think that they should continue to do so," O’Donnell said, kicking off the emotional segment. "This is a moment that demands a frank and honest assessment about where we stand and more generally the safety of women."
"Charlie does not get a pass here. He doesn’t get a pass from anyone in this room."
O’Donnell went on to further condemn the alleged behavior before handing things over to King, who opened up about her personal reaction to the news.
“I have to say I’m still reeling … I am not okay," King admitted. "After reading that article in The Post it was deeply disturbing, troubling, and painful … that said, I think we have to make this matter for women."
King applauded those who had the courage to speak up against Rose, reiterating that there is no excuse for behavior of that nature.
"I’ve enjoyed a friendship and a partnership with Charlie for the past five years. I’ve held him in such a high regard and I’m really struggling because what do you say when someone that you deeply care about has done something that is so horrible? How do you wrap your brain around that?" King questioned.
"That said, Charlie does not get a pass here. He doesn’t get a pass from anyone in this room. We are all deeply affected. We are all rocked by this."
It's difficult to know how to react when someone you know personally — someone you've admired and thought you knew — is accused of such actions, but the CBS This Morning women didn't let their personal relationships get in the way of reporting the story. Their response contrasts Lena Dunham's recent, controversial defense of Murray Miller, a Girlswriter accused of rape.
"While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year," Dunham and co-producer and writer Jenni Konner wrote in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
After sparking serious backlash, Dunham has apologized, but her initially disappointing words remained with many.
As CBS This Morning plans continued coverage of the allegations surrounding Rose, CBS Newshas suspended the host from the network.
