The other shoe is about to drop!

There is overall praise about the popular talk show host David Letterman coming out in the open with the story about his affairs with the female members of his staff, and someone trying to exhort him. ‘It is a matter between two consenting adults’, ‘No law has been broken’, ‘Dave was smart take control of the story before it got leaked out ' so on, are the reactions in USA. But I feel that Dave is in huge trouble. In this litigious society, it will not be long before someone comes out with a sexual harassment claim against him. ‘I wanted to end the relationship, but was forced to continue as I was worried about my job’ will be a very convincing complaint. I am sure that the money thirsty lawyers are on the prowl for the Dave's ‘victims’, hoping to convince one of them to file a sexual harassment suit. This is what happened to singer Michael Jackson. Poor Michael was tricked by the British journalist Martin Bashir, to talk openly about his joy of hosting young children in his Neverland Ranch which included they all sleeping in a big bed. Sure enough, shortly after the interview was broadcast on TV, the parents of one of the boys filed a complaint of inappropriate sexual behavior by Jackson, which a spiteful DA (Thomas Sneddon Jr) was happy to run with. Although Michael got acquitted after a long and costly trial, he never recovered from the shock and humiliation of it. Same can be the fate of Dave Letterman. It will be a miracle if Dave survives this and keeps his job!
