David Letterman said on his show that he was being blackmailed for $2 million by a guy who had proof that Letterman had sex with female co-workers and he was planning on writing a screenplay and book about the trysts. According to CBS News it was one of their own was arrested for the alleged crime, Joe Halderman, a man who has worked as a producer for 48 Hours for over 20 years. You would think a guy who worked for a news magazine would have been a lot smarter before trying to commit blackmail like that? I guess greed took over? I mean the guy really has balls because according to Letterman he actually went with him to his lawyer to discuss a money amount. I have never blackmailed anyone, but you would think you would want to avoid the lawyers because they know the law well enough to get you arrested. I mean we all know blackmail is illegal especially at that amount.
Now when it comes to Letterman, it should not be such a big surprise that he sleeps with his co-workers because afterall his wife worked for him when they started their relationship. Now it is just the question of when he had sex with these women that the guy was allegedly blackmailing him about. It will be interesting to hear what his wife has to say about, but I doubt she will be talking anytime soon.
So what do y’all think about it all?
