David Letterman: I Had Sex with Staffers, Was Extorted
Posted on October 2, 2009
Tonight’s episode of David Letterman’s show will get plenty of tongues wagging, for the funny man admits that he had sex with several female staffers and then someone tried to shake him down for $2 million. Television gold!
Letterman’s tabloid-ready confessions comes after he spent the afternoon testifying before a grand jury, a first for the long-time Late Show host:
This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life. I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury.
So, what went down? Well, it all started when an unidentified man sent Letterman a package 3 weeks ago that reportedly proved the talk show host has been carrying on with female staffers, though the number’s also unknown. The man said he would keep his trap shut if Letterman sent him a check for $2 million. Not one to take extortion lying down, Letterman went to the authorities, who had him mail a fake check and then they caught the bad guy. Score one for celebrity justice.
All of this will definitely put a strain on Letterman’s relationship with his wife, Regina Lasko, whom he dated for 23 years before marrying last March.
We’ll get you lovelies some video as soon as it’s available.
Update: Here’s video and some extraneous commentary!
