3 women sue Rose in harass

-

THREE WOMEN who previously worked with Charlie Rose sued the disgraced journalist for sexual harassment, claiming the shamed TV news icon inappropri­ately touched them, bragged about his sexual encounters and urged them to open up about their own.

Katherine Brooks Harris, Sydney McNeal and Yuqing (Chelsea) Wei claim the former “CBS This Morning” anchor subjected them to uncomforta­ble treatment, including touching theirs backs, waists, shoulders and arms — and even kissing their cheeks — while they worked with him at CBS, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.

The women, who all were working in entry-level positions for CBS News, were in their early 20s during the alleged incidents, which began in 2017, according to the suit.

They accuse Rose of using intimidati­ng and insulting language, with Wei claiming the journalist, 76, called her his “China doll.”

Rose could not be reached for comment on the lawsuit.

A rep for CBS News, meanwhile, said in a statement, “We will vigorously defend against the allegation­s pertaining to CBS News.”
