PBS Investigation Details Tavis Smiley Sexual Misconduct Allegations
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/tavis-smiley-sexual-misconduct-allegations-pbs-1203455633/According to a newly unsealed report from a PBS-hired external investigator, former talk-show host Tavis Smiley’s alleged misconduct dates back decades and spans inappropriate sexual comments and touching, verbal abuse, as well as sexual relationships with subordinates and guests on his show.
The findings from March 2018 were filed by Smiley’s legal team as part of the ongoing legal dispute between the host and PBS, which canceled “Tavis Smiley” in December amid misconduct allegations and an internal investigation. Smiley then sued PBS, alleging breach of contract. PBS in early 2018 filed a countersuit against Smiley, asking for the return of $1.9 million in production expenses.

He's always seemed like an ass to me.
