MSNBC guest accuses Chris Matthews of belittling, sexist behavior that hurt her career

BPR: Columnist Laura Bassett revealed that the cable news host who sexually harassed her a few years back is MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.

The freelance journalist and GQ columnist who is a frequent MSNBC guest detailed Matthews’ alleged inappropriate comments and sexist behavior in an op-ed published Friday.

“In 2017, I wrote a personal essay about a much older, married cable news host who inappropriately flirted with me in the makeup room a few times before we went live on his show, making me noticeably uncomfortable on air,” Bassett wrote in the article published in GQ magazine.

“I was afraid to name him at the time for fear of retaliation from the network; I’m not anymore. It was Chris Matthews,” she revealed.

Bassett had written about the veteran MSNBC host in 2017, claiming he had sexually harassed her in 2016 though she did not reveal his name at the time.

Bassett wrote:

In 2016, right before I had to go on his show and talk about sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump, Matthews looked over at me in the makeup chair next to him and said, “Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?”

When I laughed nervously and said nothing, he followed up to the makeup artist. “Keep putting makeup on her, I’ll fall in love with her.”

Matthews once allegedly “stood between me and the mirror and complimented the red dress I was wearing for the segment,” and asked, “You going out tonight?” Bassett recalled.

“Make sure you wipe this off her face after the show. We don’t make her up so some guy at a bar can look at her like this,” he allegedly told a make up artist. read more

  1. What a snowflake! She’s just jumping on the bandwagon for a pay day. Obviously not a mature woman.

    “why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?” he said.

    “Because you’re a filthy spittle spewing pig and I’m a human being” she should have said.

  2. He complimented her dress, flirted with her and now she’s traumatized? She’s looking for a payday and that’s all. There’s advice that some old-timers used where I worked: Don’t get your pussy where you get your paycheck.

  3. The internecine combat within the Democrat coalition is heating up folks. Pelosi was rolled by AOC and the leadership from that generation is being blamed for Trump not being impeached by the communist faction. The LBG are split regarding the T, especially the Ls. That is just a couple of the internal battles taking place.

    Everyone is still holding onto climate hysteria thinking that that gives them points on the intersectionality scale. But other than that it is a dog eat dog fight on all fronts.

    There really is a power vacuum and it is an all out war to take over. The problem they have is that each and every one of the bastards has been inculcated with the message that they are God’s gift. They lack sincerity in all other areas, but they are absolutely certain that every Goddamn one of them knows what is best for everyone collectively and anyone individually.

    Pride being the devil’s handmaiden, they are absolutely and resolutely convinced that “we are the ones we have been waiting for.” But the royal we when it comes to progressives demands ideological purity. Their intolerance knows no bounds. Combine that with the marriages of convenience they have formed under the Democrat coalition umbrella and it is a powder keg.

    In not kissing their Goddamned sorry asses and refusing to back down President Trump has gotten them off their game. They are so confused they don’t know if they are afoot or on horseback and they have been so consumed with rage that they neglected to do the housekeeping that has kept the Democrat coalition together.

  4. Let me correct that: prideful Marxists are satan’s handmaiden

    The ignorant, arrogant shitbags are far too full of themselves to recognize that the devil doesn’t serve anyone,. They serve the devil, it is what it is.

    They actually do envy God and that explains their continuous and everlasting attacks on all that is good. They are so full of themselves that they are convinced that the devil serves them. I can guarandamntee you that each of them think that the rest of humanity was put on earth to serve them.

    I know it sounds preposterous, but you have to believe me on this. Having spent five decades of my life surrounded by and observing progressives in their native habitat, I have some insight on what motivates them.

  5. Basset Hound.

    Lefties:
    1) Pervs that stay behind to take care for your girl when you are gone.
    2) Use feminism, social justice, political correctness to get laid.
    3) Deviant predators when no one is looking.

    Women that can’t see this deserve the surprise they get.

    Booze face Charlie Rose and so many others pbs.

  6. Women should just be paid a settlement right after the job interview rejection and get it over with.

    You can’t hire a legal liability, and you can’t NOT hire women due to discrimination laws.

    Sorry Chris and Matt Lauer, but that’s the culture you helped create.
