VIDEO: David Letterman Admits Having Sex With Staffers; Reveals Blackmail Plot
Posted on Oct 02, 2009 @ 09:53AM
In a bombshell revelation during Thursday's taping of The Late Show David Letterman said that there's been a recent attempt to extort money from him.
Letterman said that he received a package from someone three weeks ago claiming to have evidence of improper relations between Letterman and Late Show employees and threatened to reveal them to the public unless Letterman paid $2million.
Letterman consulted with the Special Prosecution Bureau of the Manhattan District Attorney's office who advised Letterman to issue a phony $2million check to the alleged extortionist, which he did, and which resulted in an arrest.
Letterman said he had to testify in front of a grand jury and that in his testimony he acknowledged sexual relations with members of his staff.
"My response to that is, yes I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would," said Letterman. "I feel like I need to protect these people - I need to certainly protect my family."

There's going to be horse pucky hitting the fan. I heard on CNN the latest on the girl that slept with Letterman would do anything to get ahead. What about the rest of the gals? Hope they hang him by his toenails.

He did the right thing & he was very gallant wanting to protect the ladies & very humble to want to protect his family. He took the high road & I don't even LIKE his show, but my respect for him is immense.
