New Reports Say NBC Paid Off Chris Matthews Staffer After Accusations of Sexual Harassment
Things are starting to get interesting, and it is NOT good news for NBC or Chris Matthews!
Another NBC employee turns out to be just another entitled Democrat womanizer, and possible sexual harasser / abuser, as we are now learning that NBC paid off an assistant producer on Matthews’ show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews”, to settle claims of sexual harassment, which NBC claims was just your normal inappropriate comments and jokes, otherwise known as “locker talk”.
I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy that NBC payed $40,000 to settle a simple complaint of inappropriate comments and jokes. There had to be more to the story that we are not being told.
Hopefully we will find the woman that was allegedly sexually harassed by Chris Matthews so we can learn the real story that NBC and Chris Matthews don’t want you to hear.
How many more women will claim that they’ve been sexually harassed by Chris Matthews? I have a feeling that we will be hearing about more in the very near future, which is why NBC wanted to get ahead of the news with their “inappropriate comments and jokes” bullshit spin.
An MSNBC spokesman confirmed Saturday the company made a separation-related payment to one of Chris Matthews employees after the woman complained about sexual harassment.
Two sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Caller that Matthews paid $40,000 to settle with an assistant producer on his show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” in 1999 after she accused him of harassment. An MSNBC spokesperson contested that claim to the Caller, saying the company instead paid significantly less as part of a severance package.
The woman complained to CNBC executives about Matthews making inappropriate comments and jokes about her while in the company of others.
The MSNBC spokesman said that they thoroughly reviewed the situation at the time and that Matthews received a formal reprimand. Based on people who were involved in matter, the network concluded that the comments were inappropriate and juvenile but were not intended to be taken as propositions.
The woman received separation-related compensation when she left MSNBC and has gone on to work in a number of high-profile media positions. MSNBC declined to comment on whether the employee left because of Matthews or whether this was the only claim in Matthews’ history at the company.
Matthews has been the host of “Hardball” since 1997 and also hosted “The Chris Matthews Show” from 2002 to 2013.
He is the latest in a string of high-profile men in media to be accused of sexual misconduct, particularly at NBC.
