David Letterman Says He was a Victim of Extortion Plot
Popular TV host David Letterman admitted during the Late Night Show that he had sex with some of his female staff, a revelation which most of the audience thought as part of his joke. But in this case, it was not.
Letterman also said that a program producer was trying to blackmail him and asked for $2 million or else he will make a movie or a novel about the host’s sexual affair with some of his co-workers.
The host reported the incident to the police to make an entrapment operation. Now, the suspect who has been reported to have accumulated millions of debts was charged with extortion plot.
Meanwhile, Letterman’s revelation has increased his show’s rating by 38 percent, despite criticism that he was hypocrite especially when his popularity can be attributed to his merciless attack on some politicians for their sexual transgressions.
