TV talker Smiley is out in sex rap

- Chris Sommerfeld­t

LONGTIME TALK SHOW host Tavis Smiley has been indefinite­ly suspended from PBS amid allegation­s that he has sexually harassed staffers and retaliated against those who rebuffed him.

PBS officials contracted a law firm after they received a series of shocking claims that Smiley had created a hostile work environmen­t and engaged in sexual relationsh­ips with several subordinat­es.

“The inquiry uncovered multiple, credible allegation­s of conduct that is inconsiste­nt with the values and standards of PBS,” a spokeswoma­n told the Daily News.
