Amid the now widespread allegations against Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault, another prominent media figure has been accused, this time in a piece by liberal news outlet CNN that claims that veteran political journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women during his time as political director at ABC News.
The explosive report paints a picture of Halperin using his powerful position at ABC News to not only proposition employees for sex but also to kiss and grab at least one female employees breast’s against her will.
According to CNN, although the accusers didn’t specifically report to Halperin, he made many decisions about the political coverage at ABC as well as some ‘critical personnel decisions.’
‘While they no longer work with him, Halperin continues to wield influence in politics and media. The women who spoke to CNN said it was for this reason that they shared their accounts on the condition of anonymity. Others also said they still feel embarrassed about what happened to them and did not want to be publicly associated with it.’
