Lessons From Letterman
By now, everyone knows David Letterman, the gap-toothed sage of late night TV, had sex with a bunch of his underlings. Surprised? Don't be, Hollywood is full of sycophants who use the casting couch to get "somewhere".
Is Letterman's job in jeopardy - hardly - he's a ratings machine in a world where ratings are falling faster than ever. Was he a cad? Does it matter? Allegedly, during all his dalliances, he wasn't married and no one has suggested that he coerced any of the women he had sex with.
Ahh, but here lies the $64,000 question...why would any 20 or 30 something comely woman sleep with Letterman? His striking good looks? Doubtful. His ability to amplify their career? Probable. So, we wonder, what did Letterman say to his notches? My hunch is Robert Halderman, knows a little. After all, he's the guy who masterminded the $2 million shakedown of Letterman.
Had Halderman called my law firm, we would have advised him to tell his girlfriend, Stephanie Birkitt, that if she suffered sexual harassment at Letterman's company, she should sue him.
Getting "crafty" never works. Lawsuits work to bring out dirty laundry, especially when the defendant has been a cad. We'll soon find out how honest Letterman was when he said "he never had sex with any employee, after he got married." Stay tuned.
