I am not okay, King said.
Rose was also suspended by PBS and Bloomberg.
Ive enjoyed a friendship and a partnership with Charlie for the past five years, King continued.
How do you wrap your brain around that?
Im really grappling with that.
That said, Charlie does not get a pass here.
He doesnt get a pass from anyone in this room.
We are all deeply affected, we are all rocked by this.
Let me be very clear: there is no excuse for this alleged behavior.
This will be investigated, she added.
This has to end.
This behavior is wrong period.
In a statement provided to theWashington Post, Rose apologized for his behavior.
It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior.
I am greatly embarrassed.
I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken.
I have learned a great deal as a result of these events, and I hope others will too.
