Three women sued Charlie Rose and CBS on Friday, alleging that they were sexually harassed by the former anchorman while working for him and that the network did nothing to stop it. On Thursday, The Washington Post published an article that detailed accusations against Mr. Rose by numerous women, including the three who are suing, and alleged that CBS managers knew about harassment complaints against Mr. Rose before he was fired in November. CBS has said it was not aware of any allegations about Mr. Rose’s behavior before a November article by The Post that detailed accusations from multiple women and led to his firing as a host of “CBS This Morning” and a correspondent for “60 Minutes.” PBS, the longtime home of the “Charlie Rose” interview show, also cut ties with Mr. Rose. At the time, Mr. Rose expressed “embarrassment” for pursuing what he believed to be “shared feelings” with women who had accused him.
