A new lawsuit claims Charlie Rose used his show as a 'sexual hunting ground'
“As a makeup artist, she often found herself in proximity to Rose, touching up his makeup and preparing guests for the cameras. The lawsuit claims he often became agitated during this process, berating her and swatting her hand away. Sometimes, she says, he made derisive comments about her weight in front of other staff members.”
Riggi is one of 28 women who say that Rose harassed them with sexual phone calls, got naked in front of them, and forced them to watch sex scenes in movies with him. In 2017, Rose was fired from his eponymous talk show, which aired on PBS and Bloomberg, after 8 women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment.
“Among other things,” Bach [said], “the allegations in the complaint are completely inconsistent with written statements made by the plaintiff to Mr. Rose, including ‘I love working for you at your show, and would love to be part of any show that you host’, ‘I consider it an honor to be a member of your team,’ and ‘hope to see you more often! Please stop by anytime [smiling emoji].
