The litigation marks the first known legal filing against Rose concerning sexual harassment. CBS News President David Rhodes has said publicly there “was not knowledge” of Rose’s alleged sexual harassment. In November, The Washington Post reported on allegations of eight women who said Rose sexually harassed them at his namesake PBS program. Two of the plaintiffs, Brooks Harris and Chelsea Wei, worked with Rose at “CBS This Morning,” where he was a co-anchor until his Nov. 21 firing. Goldberg said he first reached out to CBS and Rose in February to make them aware of the potential claims.
