David Letterman, blackmailed for having sex with his employees
The famous American TV presenter has had to reveal the affairs he had with his contributors of his Late Night Show after being the victim of an extortion attempt. the question everyone is asking is why has this father and husband risked his personal life and his career?
The latest emissions of his show have been very different from the previous ones, since Letterman confessed that he has had sexual relations with his employees. The reason for this confession comes from the threat of blackmail, in which an anonymous person called asking for two million dollars for not disclosing relevant information he possessed about Letterman. It has also come to light who was behind this extortion attempt: Robert “Joe” Haldermann, a famous producer of the CBS channel who was arrested just after he cashed the check from Letterman. According to inside sources, Haldermann had financial problems and tried to solve his crisis by blackmailing Letterman. However, he has been able to pay the $ 200,000 bail money for his freedom.
“I’ve something to tell you”.This was how Letterman started his confession to protect the people involved. I feel like I need to protect these people. I need to certainly protect my family. I need to protect myself. I hope to protect my job,” he said.
Either way, Letterman has become the centre of countless critical comments of his colleagues rivals, especially of his direct rival, the famous TV presenter Jay Leno, who said defiantly in his show: “If you came here tonight for sex with a talk-show host, you’ve got the wrong studio”.
