David Letterman recently made a very personal announcement on his show. The 62 year old late night talk show host admitted to having slept around with a number of women from his staff.
Letterman told everyone that he was being blackmailed by someone who knew all his dirty secrets, and was threatening to go public with the information if Letterman didn’t fork over $2 million.
Letterman’s blackmailer turned out to be Robert Halderman, a CBS producer, who threatened to make a movie or write a book about Letterman’s adventures.
Halderman apparently owed a lot of money, and probably figured this was the quickest and easiest way to make some.
Unfortunately for him though, he was caught red handed in a sting operation, and was arrested by the District Attorney after Letterman went to the authorities for help.
Letterman had to come clean in front of the authorities, but at least his blackmailer was nabbed, and he didn’t have to part with $2 million.
All’s well that ends well, except for the fact that Letterman’s respect suffered a good thrashing. The fact that he owned up to his bad behaviour himself though, rather than being exposed by someone else, means that Letterman gets to regain some of his lost dignity. Whatever is left of it, that is.
