David Letterman Extortion Details

[PatrickDoherty]

So I have to ponder... Was the "Black Mailer" Chris Elliott?

[RicardoSS85]

How dumb are american audiences?! The man is confessing a delicate situation and all they do is laugh and applaud like idiots.

[R0ckG1r7]

The singular difference between Dave and every other male celebrity who has been in this situation from Bill Clinton to Tiger Woods...

...Dave, deciding to be a man, CONFESSED and APOLOGIZED in front of everybody.

[pattyrockinalways]

i really don't understand why the audience is laughing it off the whole time

[MorrisseyOner]

@pattyrockinalways I don't think they knew it was real or where it he was going with this.

[TheExorcist22]

@pattyrockinalways I went to a Letterman show, and before you get in they give you this whole speech about how you, as the audience, need to laugh when Letterman makes a joke. They actually practice laughing as a group with you. Its actually pretty pathetic. So the audience was probably in "laugh mode" and thought this whole thing was some kind of weird joke.

[stasa0000]

so, in a way, he confess that if you were a young female and wanted to work for him, then you were going to be a sex toy of an old man....and for that he is a hero????? big motherfucker!!!

[TheHockeyCentral]

@stasa0000 Are you fucking stupid? He didn't force the girl to do anything. She made the decision.

[agger12343]

Yes dave... U r DEFINITELY the victim here!! Lol! Wot a clown!!

[bl0115]

seriously guys? he's keeping it funny so it wont be a long boring story for the audience who paid a great sum of money to watch him live. and seriously. no respect for him? i understand if it was a slight hatred towards him for cheating. but u hafta understand, he went on NATIONAL TV and confessed what he did infront of millions of viewers nationwide (and if uploaded, worldwide [which it has]). so lemme as you. if u were blackmailed, would u annouce it publically? dude got bigger balls than you.

[chaddvanzanten]

@bl0115 Point of information -- tickets to the Late Show are free. You just have to sign up or show up at the right place and be lucky enough to get them. The chairs are tiny, the views of the stage and musicians are not great, and you are basically ordered to laugh and clap like you're on drugs. Other than that part, I agree with you what you said. Heh.

[kdennyview86]

hes defintely getting what he deserves for the adultery.. and that blckmaileris getting what he deserves for blackmailing letterman.. justice is served.. sorta .. Im mad the crowd thinks cheating is funny.. althought the joke he made about it being embarassing for the other women was ha .. so sad so sad .. im more of a leno person myself

[2007TWC]

Are you JOKING me? No respect for this moronic nasty little speck.

[6nick6morgz6]

fair play to lett hes got some stones to do that! respect dave good luck

[gsmarena123]

I like "especially for the women" part, like he does not care that much !!!!!

[flakbac]

guys a wimp i really wish that guy woulda just beat his ass for goin out with his wife you single guys wouldnt understand

[ElectricSexPants]

I'm thinking of flagging this....whaddya think....?????????

[ThePondering]

I think you should go hide back under the bridge :) The three billy goats are about to cross

[luaplap]

Ok...one more thing...As dave said, he was most likely going to try to squeeze a few more buck along the way. D. L had no choice but to confess. Smart? I think he had help. DA had the handle on this one. So did his press advisors. Make a joke.. and they will cry. People like still like Robert downey jr., Nick Nolty..etc. Could have killed people on a DUI. U still watch their movies...So icky..yup..U Fn R!

[luaplap]

Letterman is so totally awesome. Icky yes!

I'm so amazed as to how a serious topic as blackmail ends up funny! Audience laughing? Yikes! People are..icky! Blackmailer, freakin' ickiest! Hang the bastard by his lackluster jewels. D.L. F! Gets richer..No fair..But who said life was fair.. Enjoy ur poverty folks..but keep ur jewels. U may need em some day:-)

[greenkangaroo88]

it's funny how he is the "victim" in all of this.....

[sydbarrett5]

well he's not a victim in what he's done but he's a victim of blackmail, which is a pretty low-life thing to do as far as I'm concerned.

[wintercoolhi]

what's going on right NOW? I don't understand what is going on.

[pleasureheadz]

thats classic, david is a legend, how he handle it at his own way just go to show he is special...

[karatos]

Either way the bad guy is in jail, the funny guy is making jokes, and atleast one will be having lots of sex in the future.

[luaplap]

rotflmao

On the set and for the other he'll make a great bitch!

[karatos]

Both together irrefutably point to guilt in a blackmail scheme. Not that he was being framed. Not to say your tale is true in any way, but your bias is likely clouding your judgment. You do know that there are laws, not implied laws but actual laws, against what you described Princess. Also there are laws against fraud, which is what it sounds like you commited, albeit under some imagined and/or self-imposed duress.

[karatos]

Yeah, so long as he can still do his job, which he clearly can, his sex life is of no buisness or concern of ours. Same with everyone. Sense you mentioned church, there are 700 cases of molestation against religious leaders every year, and you still go to church no problem. It is evident after the fact that pretty much every president ever cheated on their wife and it did not seem to effect them at all. Your story is irrelevant, and lucky us Dave's lawyer wore a wire and the check was cashed

[jbknot]

Good, Bad, or Ugly. If ya' did it OWN it!! And Dave OWNS it w/style and frankness.

[crackermustgo]

This is further proof the so called white man is a Devil too each other. in America;The land of Rapers,Robbers,Murderers,Cut Thoads,Thieves and Lairs a Bunch fags! USA Means, Under Satans Authority!

[Caribbeanprincess1]

You'll never live to come across more evil selfish people who could wear a smile while killing you. I experience this with a high ranking official who tried to frame and destroy me because I broke up with him and he wanted to control me and treat me like a sex slave "no joke"...I had to stand up with everything in me and pulled a disappearing act "moved to another state FAR away and took out nothing in my name. It was hell.

[kellirene65]

Something about this just doesn't feel right.

Does anyone else feel like vital details are missing?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

[Caribbeanprincess1]

Dave ultimately "Framed" the guy who more than likely just had a heated conversation with him and mentioned that he would expose him. Dave then became strategic and brought in some of his high ranking law enforcement friends to help him seal the deal.

[maverickslb80]

americans are really fucking retarded... this is so pathetic, he's confessing something serious and the audience is laughing!!! and they don't even know why!

[delvin24]

Genius!! Only Letterman can pull a confession off this sweet (lol)

[AvatarOfAvatar]

Do any of you have any fucking clue how Hollywood works? Doubtful. People are constantly fucking their way up the ladder, it's the way of the industry.

Quit with the fake and naive act. You arent surprised, you arent offended, none of this shit happened to anyone you know, or have any contact with. David Letterman is a late night comedy show host, if he's a role model to your kids, not only are your kids idiots, but YOU are a fucking idiot.

Shut the fuck up and go back to Fox News

[imbeachasbro]

Love it!

Great work Dave!

[Caribbeanprincess1]

The blackmailer was DUMB!!!!!!! How the heck you're going to meet someone in front of law enforcement to make such a deal????.... and accept a check?????? Talk about IDIOT!! he made all his decisions out of jealous rage.

[numbchucking]

Just shows Dave is a HUMAN.

I always liked Dave better than that hack sellout Leno.

Go dave!:)

[kiketsuu]

i never really liked him anyway. jay leno FTW!

[EILLEENSHANIA]

What was so funny about that? how stupid can you be? Why the HELL did the audience keep laughing??

[NACPRODUCTIONS1]

Fair Play Dave, I think your a okay guy, you cheated. You gotta own up and you did.

[Caribbeanprincess1]

wow , someone appointed YOU f%cking spokesperson for Dave ??, relating to his character.- When you are a public figure, your business is EVERYONE's "free for all"...

[Caribbeanprincess1]

Well, we can start saying Divorce affects no one but the mother and the father because the children aren't the ones involved "intimately"...Your thoughts are so trivial. If Obama start f#cking all the women in his office who are willing to give him some YOU and others won't say it's nobody's business! If we all had responsibilities only to ourselves, then there would be no laws or expectations period!!! Not all laws are written either, some are implied. Schools, church, on the job etc "CONDUCT"

[nailer341]

Good for him. Who really cares who he sleeps with, and where they work. If it was consensual then all is good. He and his wife can work out their issues on the matter.

Nice job Dave.

[varoojanoohe]

He is good man.

[aphexaic3213]

hahahaha... he's a scumbag, but more hilarious and edgy than ever

[digsart]

Way to go Dave!!! What a smart guy to do this in front of everyone and on TV! Good for you Dave! <3<3<3

[CanadaBaby]

I like Letterman. I always have. I don't understand why we(celebrities included) feel we need to justify ourselves to the masses. He screwed up (pardon the pun). Unless he's divine, I'm sure that's allowed. He came clean because if he didn't, the media would have crucified him. He talked about something immensely personal on a very NON-personal medium and I think the fact that he had to is a sad reflection on our society. Remember-he had CONSENTING relations-otherwise he'd be in jail.

[hansoloromana]

We have all done things in the past that we regret. Why would anyone have to pay money to keep it quiet? Thats stupid, David Letterman understands that, thats why he came clean. So what , he had sex , you do too! You probably have had dirty sex, give me 100 dollars or Ill tell.

[crookeyejim]

*Claps Enthusiastically*

Go letterman!

[blueguise23]

Really like how Letterman handled this all. He is really funny and he did the right thing by "fessing up".

[tobiasrobbins72]

Did he have a choice? No. He only fessed up when he was caught.

[eddiem16]

and you would tell everyone in the country perhaps the world "oh I had sex with a few women on the show!" for no good reason?

[BCF1987]

what a dumbshit idiotic crowd clapping and laughing...

[jules7890]

i don't think he means to make them laugh, but talk show audiences have been known to laugh at really innappropriate moments.

remember when Kramer did his apology? :S

[TallTorBlond]

Don Imus & Howard Stern are brave enough to stand up and point out the emperor has no clothes. Bravo to those two great guys who are telling like it is, not like those other pussy late night hosts (Conan, etc.) who have been told to shut up and say nothing.

Googe YouTube:

Howard Stern - 2009-10-05 - David Letterman Extortion Attempt (Part 1)

David Letterman is "an angry, mean-spirited jerk," Imus says.

Ive always thought he was a creep anyway," Imus adds. "Hes a punk.

[Caribbeanprincess1]

Thanks for sharing :)

[Lishkafe]

What's so funny about this? what a mass of stupid sheeps as a croud. haha, letterman cheated on his wife, haha, he IS a big jerk after all, haha. gud, Americans, how stupid you look to the rest of us, you wouldnt belive.

[Tschuss]

Here's what's funny, dumbass. The s**thead thought he could get an easy payoff just by knowing a celebrity's garbage has had their poorly designed plan blow up in their face. Also, the goons who would try to profit off the scandal don't have nearly as much to crow about as they would like. Yeah, Letterman's an ass but he handled this in the best possible manner. Make it a joke to the public; let them gossip while you apologize to family and friends who think you are a hopeless sack of s**t.

[Lishkafe]

Ohh, when you explain it this way- hahaha

its so hilerious.. not.

what i HAVE seen is a big jackass that cant be serious for one minute even for the sake of his kids and wife. not to mention the women that were probably the only women alive that agreed to touch him, and not with a stick. an old womenizer that will sell his sister to come out "good" and "funny". problem is- by the end of the day, he is the less funny of them all.

[Lishkafe]

Lenno, Obrian, kimmel and fallon would never, ever come clean in such a way that will hurt other ppl. the guy is not funny, never was, never will be. the best of health to your all.

[tobiasrobbins72]

Why do you think he keeps preying on his employees?

[ChangedYou]

boring he should kept it to himself so the media could make some cash for a month. he does it too easy for himself.

[IronMongol]

what a fucking clown

[harley1766]

Dave ...you are such as stand up guy.I have been to several of your tapings and seen you in the talks you do before the show...I have always been a fan of yours and this makes me a even bigger fan yet....Not letting someone capitalize on you and not only that but making it public before he did was a brilliant move on your part ...You relationship(s) are your business......you are still a stand up guy in my book!!!

[tobiasrobbins72]

LOL Right. A stand up guy who has sex with his employees while his companion of 24 years is at home with the kid. Real stand up guy. LOL

[depor23]

err harley - that's what everyone does when they've done something wrong, make a statement before the media get a hold of it. It's just good PR. I take it you're one of the many idiots who fall for this when politicians do it and end up voting for them because of it?

[harley1766]

er..............Depor you moron who was talking about politics or politicians Dave last i knew was not running for any office whether or not he caught cheating wasnt the issue i stated it was a brilliant move on his part diclosing it before the media took hold of it .........depor...you sir are an idiot

[TallTorBlond]

Not only is DL a misogynist, and aside from Paul being a few bricks short a load, has anyone ever noticed how David, when he interviews black people only, starts talking differently, dropping the "ing" off the end of his words like he's all of a sudden southern, plus he only seems to prope black people for details on how they spend their money. I feel this is very blatant racist behavour, and in such a public forum. Who does this wrinkly old hag think he is anyway? I have no respect for it.

[matbgood]

1)That is not true. Absolutely not, you just made it up.

2) You are such an ignorant.

3) You are pathetic.

[depor23]

I don't understand why he decided to reveal it all on his talk show.

[tobiasrobbins72]

Because that has been the Celebrity way for some time now. Do anything you want and when you get caught, go on TV (he conveniently has his own show) and apologize and call it a "mistake" (though I seriously doubt he was screwing his employees behind his wife's back by accident). They've been doing this for years, and for soe reason, the sheeple still bleat "what a stand up guy for admitting he was wrong after being caught red handed!"

[reformer666]

Ratings.

[QuiGonZel]

If you listen to the timbre of his voice, you can tell he's really nervous.

And no, he wasn't married at the time when he had sex with these women.

[tobiasrobbins72]

He's been with his wife since 1986. They had a child in 2003. Whether he got a certificate this year or not, he was cheating on her. With employees of his. It doesn't make him any less despicable because he didn't get a certificate until 24 years after he started his relationship with her.

[reformer666]

I hope you are as disgusted by their out-of-wedlock child-bearing as you are about him cheating on her when they were NOT married.

[tobiasrobbins72]

No. I could care less about having a child with a woman that you have lived with for over 20 years. Having sex with your subordinates behind her back, however, is a very slimy thing to do.

[KatarinaSu]

I hate how people are laughing and clapping for him even after he reveals his adulterous actions. This isn't a funny situation at all. It's awful.

[QuiGonZel]

It wasn't adultery, it was sex with co-workers. He wasn't married at the time and thus, it cannot be adultery.

[yeahpon]

he had sex with the women BEFORE he was married dipshit

[tobiasrobbins72]

No, dipshit, he's been with this woman for a decade. She is the mother of his child. He may not have legally married her until this year, but she's been his common law through the whole thing. He was being a sleaze. he was also doing it to women who work for him which is totally unethical.

[MrDMachuta]

OH NO Dave had sex with girls... How unusual and obscene! He's SUCH a bad guy!! What man has EVER had sex with women. Unheard of.. To all you jerkoffs that are slamming Dave. You should be fucked with a sandpaper cock. Was there ANY women coming out complaining before or even since! NO there has not. Some women want to fuck a powerful guy and Dave did it. So what! Why isn't any saying anything about the asshole who tried to blackmail Dave. He is the ONLY person who broke the law here!

[bombshellsugar]

so cheating on his wife doesn't mean shit? seriously? it's not just about "some guy fucking some chick" - it's about letterman taking advantage of his seniority. he apparently thinks because he is who he is, he can do whatever he wants, -- untrue. he should have known this would eventually come out. give me a break. shit like this ALWAYS comes to haunt you. he's pathetic.

[tobiasrobbins72]

What a joke. Look, in case you didn't realize it, there is a big difference between "having sex with gilrs" and having several affairs behind his wifes back and with people who work for him. Abusing a position of power and cheating on your wife are botht the acts of a low life.

[kazancraig]

I dont think letterman did anything wrong. And I think he did the right thing by doing what he did

[bruceok]

Folks better download this now, so they can upload it later when CBS pulls this off YouTube.

Just saying. It's been pulled off already according to news outlets.

[creaves3082]

Good Job Dave! America still believes in you!! This doesn't change the way we think about Dave. He's still the best Talk Show Host on Late Night Television. It takes a high caliber of a man to address serious allegations and bizarre experiences to his national television audience. He cares enough about the people who watch his show, to address the truth and tell YOU the way it really is. Thats love for his viewers.

[creaves3082]

In addition, Instead of focusing on the laughing audience, which Dave has no control over, Lets focus on his upfront approach and his character of integrity.

P.S. And stop acting like Holy Nuns...like yall aint never done anything you regret in your life!

[tobiasrobbins72]

What nonsense. The guy is trash. He takes advantage of his position and employees. His only regret seems to be getting caught.

that BS argument of "no one's perfect" is what pieces of crap use when they get CAUGHT.

[aalcaraz78]

you know dave is never going to read this?yes?

[TheLuxmundi]

Foxlslandman, I feel sorry for your neighbors.

[zephyr4563]

For those of you criticizing the audience, you probably had advanced knowledge that this was serious and what it was about... they didn't, and his show IS supposed to be funny, and I think for he meant for the story to be funny to lighten the mood... so really your criticism is based on flawed reasoning. Just thought I'd add that.

[TakeMeDownToFunkyTow]

he could have said anything and the audience would have laughed their asses off... fking wankers.

[msquestionmark]

WTF "I have had sex with women who work for me on this show" Wild applause!!!! WTFFFFFF?

[msquestionmark]

omg I can't believe how stupid his audience is! Laughing at freaking everything? WTF

[anil605709]

its funny how the audience finally shuts the fuck up once david finally says that he had sex with the women. they FINALLY get that he's really not been joking.

[InsideOutAnus]

Er, no they didn't.

[anil605709]

the audience is so stupid, they think he's joking about a light subject that they laugh all the time, they dont know how serious it really it is. It shows that they really will laugh at anything David says just because they were told he is funny. omg people are stupid.

[GetCarter08]

letterman is right @ 8:10, these women

are 300 lbs blind & manic depressive

[jeffXedge]

god damn this audience is annoying.

[GetCarter08]

joaquin phoenix is on something but I was laughing when he asked DL what does he have them on

[tobiasrobbins72]

Audiences at shows like this are coached before the show to be lively and laugh/applaud, etc. They would be laughing and cheering at anything.

[totpckg]

I actuyally think that took guts. He is a class act and admits that "he had sex with women he works with". Oh boy - All you sanctimonious hypocrites should just shut the fuck up!! I have had lots of sex with many different women and am damn proud of it! I am a man and I do what I do! I dont like the idea of an extra marrital affiar; but was he ven married at the time? and if yes.. it is between him and his wife. He is a comic. He doesnt crucify others for mistakes. He jokes to keep us laughing!!

[tobiasrobbins72]

BS. It has been established for several years that the public is so gullible, anytime a celebrity gets caught doing something bad (notice, when they get CAUGHT, not when they do it) they go on TV and apologize and herds of mindless sheep commend them for teking the easy road instead of doing what is right in the first place. this takes ZERO courage. it's the opposite. It's cowardly.

[bombshellsugar]

completely agree. he's not being a big man by coming forward. he's being a coward. and he's taking it like it's a big joke.

[totpckg]

That is dumb. So you are saying that he should have come out for an extramarital affair that occured before he was married and own up to something when there was NOTHING wrong in the first place? You are the typical public moron. Quick to condemn out of sheer jealousy! Letterman WAS A VICTIM!!! and dopes like you focus your condemnation on him and not the blackmailer!! Oh and the women he fucked were pillars of virtue I am sure. GET REAL!!

[tobiasrobbins72]

Bullshit. there were several affairs and he's been with this woman for 24 years. He was cheating.

[totpckg]

BTW - That was pretty funny - extramarittal affiar while he wasnt married (oxymoron?) Anyway - I am going to be reasonable here. LOOK AT THE WENCH!!She sleot with him to forward her career and get ahead (while she was dating this blackmailer). I dont see anyone condemning her. FUCK HER!! SHE IS WORSE THAN LETTERMAN! I dont agree with sleeping with subordinates. That is DUMB! But being dumb is all he is guilty of. The blackmailer and his SLUT ex girlfriend is much worse. End of story.

[Ritewanger]

Now you're the punchline Mr Letterman

[framij69]

Ha ha ha ha laff it up you sealions. Urf Urf Urf! ha ha ha his personal admissions are so funny. urf urf urf. Is this what makes an adulterer acceptable?

[healthhavencom]

a story about two creeps

[Geezus214]

what a pro
