The Washington Post has more details on Mark Halperin, the famous journalist and author, who was working at MSNBC until CNN dropped their bombshell report the other day....
The fallout from the CNN report has been swift. HBO said Thursday that it has canceled a miniseries based on “Game Change.” MSNBC said Halperin “is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past conduct are fully understood.”
The Post spoke with nine women, including May, who said they were aware of, or had directly experienced, unwanted contact by Halperin over a period dating to the mid-1990s. All except May spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe their encounters, or colleagues’ encounters that they said they were told about.
The alleged conduct ranged from relatively trivial unwelcome contact — grabbing and holding women’s hands, for example — to inappropriate late-night phone calls and aggressive and repeated sexual propositioning. Several of the accusers recounted episodes in which he rubbed his erect penis against them — a claim specifically denied by Halperin in an interview. One woman said he appeared wearing only an open robe when a young campaign operative was summoned to deliver information to his hotel room.
Fellas, seriously, what's with the open robe thing? That's common to all of the accused so far, and none of them are exactly Fabio. Look in the mirror.
