The two female CBS This Morning hosts, Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King, both gave statements after their co-host, Charlie Rose, was suspended yesterday on sexual harassment allegations from eight women.
Both statements were very honest and pretty brutal for the man who sat next to them since the inception of the show:

“I really am reeling. I got 1 hour & 42 minutes of sleep last night, both my son and my daughter called me. Oprah called me and said, are you okay? I am not okay. After reading that article in the Post, it was deeply disturbing, troubling and painful for me to read.” – @GayleKing pic.twitter.com/EQoEBHFkUr

We really are in uncharted territory here. Who would have ever thought we’d be seeing this on the national news. Wow.
Considering Rose’s statement, I doubt very seriously we’ll see him on CBS This Morning in the future. I suspect his suspension will be made permanent pretty soon.
