Gayle King and Charlie Rose
Charlie Rose is King’s friend and former colleague at CBS This Morning. He was dismissed amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. He apologized in a statement to the Post, while adding that not all of the allegations were accurate.
Speaking about the matter, King said, “I don’t feel as if I’ve had to reconcile my feelings.” “I don’t believe in turning your back on a friend, even when a friend has done something you adamantly disagree with and you’re disappointed in. But I also know that you listen to women, and I don’t discount their stories, either.”
Speaking to the Times, she said, in some cases, firing can be a harsh punishment and cautioned against punishing alleged offenders without due process. “I do worry about that, because I think when a woman makes an accusation, the man instantly gets the death penalty,” she said. “There has to be some sort of due process here. All of these inappropriate behaviors are not all the same.”
Similarly, she believes that some men should be given second chances. But, she added, “you can’t come back if you don’t get the lesson and you haven’t acknowledged that you behaved badly.”
