Charlie Rose,Sexy Sisters a longtime television host, was accused of sexual misconduct by eight women who talked to the Washington Post.

He allegedly groped several women, exposed himself multiple times, and made lewd phone calls, according to the story, which dropped on Monday.

All the women either worked for him or were trying to get a job on Charlie Rose, the show he's hosted since 1991. He's also co-hosed CBS This Morningsince 2013. After the Post story ran, CBS suspended Rose, and PBS and Bloomberg announced they'll stop distribution of Charlie Rose.

In 2010, a woman went to Rose's home in Bellport, New York, to "discuss a job opportunity" when he allegedly "appeared before her in an untethered bathrobe, naked underneath. She said he subsequently attempted to put his hands down her pants. She said she pushed his hands away and wept throughout the encounter."

An intern recounted being summoned to his New York City apartment, where he walked out of the shower naked in front of her.

"She said she told someone in the office, and word got around," the Postreported. "A few days later, she said, a male colleague approached her, laughing, 'Oh, you got the shower trick.'"

Rose responded to the allegations in a statement to the Post. He wrote:

“In my 45 years in journalism, I have prided myself on being an advocate for the careers of the women with whom I have worked. Nevertheless, in the past few days, claims have been made about my behavior toward some former female colleagues.

“It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken."

It's possible that even more accusations are on the way, as Amy Brittain, who wrote the story with Irin Carmon, posted this on Twitter.
