CBS News has suspended Charlie Rose from “CBS This Morning” amid allegations that he sexually harassed eight women.

Co-anchor Norah O’Donnell began Tuesday’s program by announcing the suspension in the wake of the scandal that has roiled the network.

“We’re going to begin with the news that affects all of us at this broadcast and this network. CBS News has suspended our co-host Charlie Rose over allegations of sexual misconduct,” she said.

Correspondent Bianna Golodryga said CBS has been able to reach one of Rose’s accusers.

“She didn’t want to go on camera but confirms that the reporting is accurate,” Golodryga said, referring to the Washington Post’s bombshell report.

The eight women — who all worked or wanted to work for Rose’s PBS program — described him making unwanted sexual advances in the 1990s through 2011.

“This is a moment that demands a frank and honest assessment about where we stand and more generally the safety of women,” O’Donnell told viewers.

“Let me be very clear. There is no excuse for this alleged behavior. It is systematic and pervasive and I’ve been doing a lot of listening,” she said. “This I know is true: Women cannot achieve equality in the workplace or in society until there is a reckoning and a taking of responsibility.

“I’m really proud to work at CBS News. There are so many incredible people here, especially on this show,” she continued. “This will be investigated. This has to end. This behavior is wrong.”

Her co-anchor, Gayle King, said: “Charlie does not get a pass here.”

“I really am reeling,” she said. “I got one hour and 42 minutes of sleep last night, both my son and my daughter called me. Oprah called me and said, ‘Are you OK?’ I am not OK. After reading that article in the Post, it was deeply disturbing, troubling and painful for me to read.”

On Monday evening, the embattled Rose responded to the allegations.

“I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate,” he tweeted.

“I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken.”

The “Charlie Rose” program aired on PBS and re-aired on Bloomberg. Both networks have suspended the program.
