Charlie Rose Blasted By Gayle King Over Sexual Harassment

Charlie Rose has been hit with multiple charges of sexual harassment — and "CBS This Morning" cohost Gayle King went after her ex-pal while supporting his accusers!

The newswoman joined Norah O'Donnell in making it clear that Charlie wasn't going to get a break from his colleagues after sickening claims by ex-employees were reported in the Washington Post. "I'm still reeling," said Gayle — adding "After reading that article in the Post, it was deeply disturbing, troubling and painful for me to read."

"I've enjoyed a friendship and partnership with Charlie for the past five years," added Gayle, with Charlie now suspended from the show. "I've held him in such high regard...what do you say when someone you deeply care about has done something that is so horrible? How do you wrap your brain around that?"

She added: "Charlie does not get a pass" — with the newsman accused of making sexually explicit phone calls to female employees, plus walking around nude in front of them. He's also been accused of groping women between their legs, along with grabbing their breasts and buttocks.

Norah joined in making it clear that Charlie wasn't getting the benefit of the doubt, saying: "It takes a lot of courage for these women to come forward." There are still some skeptics about the "This Morning" crew, though. "This is crazy," said one insider. "Everybody knew that Charlie had been doing this for years — and that he fired women who complained!"
