Norah O'Donnell, Gayle King Address 'Deeply Disturbing' Charlie Rose Allegations: 'He Does Not Get a Pass'

Following Charlie Rose‘s suspension from CBS and PBS for alleged sexual harassment, his CBS This Morning co-anchors are standing with the women who have spoken out against him.

On Tuesday’s edition of the morning news program, co-anchors Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King were solemn as they addressed a Monday report from The Washington Post, in which eight women came forward with similar stories about Rose, detailing how the veteran newsman made sexually inappropriate phone calls, exposed himself and groped women without their permission.

Though O’Donnell and King were clearly still reeling from the news about their colleague, they applauded the women who have shared their stories about Rose.

O’Donnell and King agreed that although they have worked closely with Rose for the last several years at CBS This Morning, they cannot excuse his behavior just because he is a colleague and friend.

“What do you say when someone that you deeply care about has done something that is so horrible? How do you wrap your brain around that?” King asked. “That said, Charlie does not get a pass here. He does not get a pass from anyone in this room. We are all deeply affected. We are all rocked by this.”
