Tavis Smiley Responds To Sexual Misconduct Allegations And Suspension From PBS
Written by broebling on December 15, 2017
Talk show host and broadcast journalist Tavis Smiley is the latest high profile man to be accused of sexual misconduct involving women that they’ve worked with or associated with professionally. PBS issued a statement on Wednesday in which they claim to have received “credible allegations” of misconduct following an investigation launched earlier this year. The investigation ultimately led the network to the decision to suspend Smiley and his program indefinitely. Shortly after news of his suspension broke, Smiley took to social media to respond to the allegations. Addressing the public in a video, he denied the allegations and criticized PBS for “overreacting” and running “a sloppy investigation.”
