Charlie Rose was fired from CBS This Morning back in 2017 for sexual harassment.

In a deposition that was released this week, Rose basically cops to the accusations of being a pig.

The disgraced host admitted to having “inappropriate” relationships with women who worked for him during his career. He also admitted to “flirting” with members of the show’s staff, including his then-co-hosts Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell.

He also said he was “embarrassed” to have had romantic workplace relationships with women during his career, and has “now come to understand” they were “inappropriate,” given the power dynamic between them.

The deposition also revealed that King had nicknamed Rose “Charlie fuck’n Rose.” “

Did you have a nickname in the studio, Charlie fuck’n Rose?” attorney Kenneth Goldberg asked Rose, according to the deposition. “I’ve heard that, yes,” Rose said.

“Did Gayle King refer to you in that way?” Goldberg asked. “Yes,” Rose said.

“How about Norah O’Donnell, did she use that term with you?” Goldberg asked. “I could imagine she did, but I don’t remember specifically,” Rose said.

Rose went on to admit he engaged in “flirty behavior” in the “CBS This Morning” studio with King, O’Donnell, and then-CBS host and correspondent Bianna Golodryga.

But he defended it because he claimed “no one seemed to object,” and considered it a form of “greeting each other.”

It was not just off-air either:

At least 35 women have accused Rose of sexually harassing them during his career in journalism, with the allegations stretching over three decades.

Somewhere Matt Lauer is saying, “Hold my beer.”
