PBS Suspends Tavis Smiley Over Sexual Harassment Complaint

"Effective today, PBS has indefinitely suspended distribution of 'Tavis Smiley,' produced by TS Media, an independent production company," the public broadcaster said. "PBS engaged an outside law firm to conduct an investigation immediately after learning of troubling allegations regarding Mr. Smiley. This investigation included interviews with witnesses as well as with Mr. Smiley. The inquiry uncovered multiple, credible allegations of conduct that is inconsistent with the values and standards of PBS, and the totality of this information led to today's decision."
...
The investigation found that Smiley had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinates. Some witnesses interviewed expressed concern that their employment status was linked to the status of a sexual relationship with Smiley. In general, they described Smiley as creating a verbally abusive and threatening environment that went beyond what could be expected in a typical high-pressure work environment. Several expressed concerns about retaliation.

Meanwhile, three women say music mogul Russell Simmons raped them, and another women complains of other "violent sexual behavior."

So I don't know about you but I want to sit close, lean in, and hear these icons' wisdom.

21 @JJ, technically that "rape room" was not an actual rape room. There were people at the restaurant who called it that, but no one says that guy actually sexed anyone else. Kind of like Warren Moon - no sex alleged, but you have to sleep in his bed in a neon thong on business trips.

It seems Russell Simmons is accused of rape-rape, and a rape room where you just put your tongue in a chicks mouth isn't getting it done.

22 Ace, don't forget about Salma Hayek's op-ed in the NYT claiming that Harvey Winestein tried/threatened to kill her the day after Roy Moore/Doug Jones election. It's already exploding all over Twitter with claims that its super common, for every Salma there are 100 who stay silent, and basically all men are potential murders in waiting.

106 I expect with Roy Moore losing the AL election the sexual harassment hysteria will die down rapidly. With most of the Left eating itself the MSM will try to find something else to attack its enemy (deplorables). And the sexual harassment attacks on Trump will fade - if Bill Clinton remained President with his sexual escapades (in the Oval Office) there's no way Trump will be impeached/removed for his trivial behavior (compared to Clinton) long before he was President. And Franken's non-apologetic resignation (if he really does resign) is a non-factor now with Trump.

Also, I think the MSM marginalized itself with attacking and equating Bush as Hitler 15 years ago. You can't get any worse than Hitler. So how do they make Trump worse than that? They can't. Once they made Bush a 10 they can't go any further with Trump. They're stuck. Fun to watch them continue to melt down.

112 "Always the Sun" was probably the biggest hit The Stranglers had.

Uncle Harvey sees a pretty young thing, and he wants to destroy, humiliate, degrade, and defile her. It's how he gets off.

He gets interested in a woman, he wants to find out what her greatest fear is. What is something that would terrify and repulse her the most. Then make her do it.

Hayek says Harv told her he would kill her, "I can do that, you know".

I concur. The infighting among the Commiecrats is just one Demunist faction trumping (no pun intended), taking power from, and defeating the other Demunist faction. Still, the femicommunist cuntcremes are probably better than the racebaiters.

188 Hayek says Harv told her he would kill her, "I can do that, you know".

And of course, all this was going on and she didn't say anything.

Did Weinstein ever actually do anything to her? I read about half the article and all I saw was her bemoaning the fact that she had to keep turning him down and how he tried to give her impossible tasks to stop the Frida Kahlo movie (which was fairly awful, BTW). After that it was just too boring to keep reading.

Give me the synopsis: Did Weinstein ACTUALLY do anything to her?

Who would actually accept an honorary doctorate? I did not do the course work so why should I get a degree?

I can understand if they want to give a gifted amateur or professional in the given field a doctorate (giving Churchill or Reagan a degree in International relations, or something.) Most of these seem hollow a crap for me and I would be kind of embarrassed to accept one- not that it will come up.

211 The GOP should look into that sexual harassers slush fund Congress has and start outing all the Dems, especially members of the congressional black caucus. That will drive the liberals crazy.

I am assuming that the proportions of Dem harassers in Congress are similar to those we are seeing in the media.
