As David Letterman tries to move past the extortion scandal, new details come out about the affair between the CBS Producer's ex- girlfriend Stephanie Birkitt and the late show host. Bianca Solorzano reports.
Lets call it what it really was — sexual favoritism in the workplace — and since you suggested that you had sex with more than one woman on your staff, some of your employees may believe that sexual favoritism in your workplace is widespread, the discrimination lawyer wrote. If this is true, then I believe that your sexual conduct is wrong and potentially in violation of the law even if your sexual relationship with your staffers was consensual and romantic.
Leno, OBrien, and Letterman have no women writers on their shows. Fifty men, and zero women. In some respects, theres a rough equality on Lettermans staff in positions of responsibility, judging from the credits that rolled at the end of Mondays episode. Nevertheless, all the people whose voices are heard on the show—the writers—are men. All the people whose job is to serve and obey—the assistants—are women. Whether that setup is deliberate or happenstance, it needs to be changed.
You said Im terribly sorry that I put the staff in that position. Im sorry too, Dave, she wrote. Im sorry that you didnt appear to recognize that your conduct was more than something stupid. Im sorry that you do not appear to recognize that it may have been a denial of equal employment opportunity and a denial of the right of women to have a workplace that is not hostile because of sexual harassment.
If the victim of the extortion plot had been a comedian famous for making fun of Democrats, I doubt the Republican Party would be making such a big deal over it.

TV is pretty incestuous... & not too full of grown-ups. Just a lot of egos at work here.
