And another one bites the dust. Late Monday, venerable newsman Charlie Rose became the latest powerful figure to suffer consequences after being faced with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Eight women toldThe Washington Post’s Irin Carmon and Amy Brittain that Rose had made unwanted sexual advances on them, ranging from lewd phone calls to groping. Rose admitted to “inappropriate behavior” in a statement to the Post, saying that he was “greatly embarrassed” for his conduct—though, he added, “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.” Even so, PBS and Bloomberg both announced within an hour of the Post’s story that they were suspending Rose’s namesake show, Charlie Rose, as did CBS, where Rose co-hosts CBS This Morning.
The news hour did not shy away from grappling with the allegations against Rose on Tuesday morning, as Laura Bradleynotes today in HWD. Elsewhere, and in non-harassment news, we’ve got fresh reviews of the films likely to be Thanksgiving week’s biggest crowd-pleasers—the rousing Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour and Pixar’s charming undead adventure Coco—as well as features on both: Julie Miller speaks with the luminous Kristin Scott Thomas about becoming Churchill’s wife, Clementine, while Joanna Robinson dives deep into one of Coco’s most poignant scenes.
