NBC announced Thursday veteran journalist Mark Halperin was being suspended hours after he was accused of sexual harassment by five female former coworkers.
“We find the story and the allegations very troubling,” the network told a CNN reporter. “Mark Halperin is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past are fully understood.”
Halperin, who is currently contracted as a political analyst for NBC News, was accused of a range of alleged predatory behavior including propositioning coworkers for sex, groping women’s breasts and kissing them without consent, according to CNN.
“During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me,” Halperin said in a statement to CNN. “I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I’m going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation.”
Halperin, 52, is a well known political commentator, he co-authored the bestselling book “Game Change” on the 2008 election, which later became an HBO film about Sarah Palin’s presidential run, he worked as political director at ABC News and frequently appears on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” MORE
From what I read about his alleged proclivity, this creep needs to stick it in his own ear.
What’s really more effective; pussy hat marches, or all this Hollywood predator fallout?
There wunce wuz a man from Nantucket…
Imagine ladies Mark Halperin grazing his erection on your new dress slacks next to the water cooler during your ten minute break. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His tailor must be good to account for his permanent chubby.
Is this the same guy that lectured us about Trump and the “grab them by the pussy” scandal? Is this the same self righteous hypocrite who told us that Bill Clinton shouldn’t have been impeached because it was “consensual”? That guy?
No no no. This, and the ever growing list of leftist sexual predators isn’t the story. It’s the Nonagenarian in a wheelchair with wandering shaky hands. He’s a republican ya know.
Now he has time on his hands to write another book claiming that he is the victim in all this!
Hmmmm…
Weiner, Weistein, Halperin…
The Jewish Question (JQ) is starting to be, why the hell are the He-bros so damn creepy?
If only he’d posted Twitter pics of him ogling guest and coworkers tig ole biddies then he could keep his job. Ellen.

This will be interesting. When all the smoke has cleared how many left leaning showbiz (any type of media) types will have been gunned down (career wise) vs conservative ones? Halperin is a big one, almost as big as O’Reilly. We still haven’t seen the child molesters or women come out of the gate yet. I only hope there is a sudden stiffening of spines among some of the victims of the especially heinous crimes against children.
Hahaahaa! Progressive and leftist sleazeball eruptions. Party just getting started, people. Pass the popcorn.
Apparently the Teflon of being famous on the left is finally wearing enough where the creeps are getting called out.
Uh-oh!
I can’t WAIT for the media to ignore this!
Weinstein and Halperin should team up to make anti-NRA films.
The Weinerin Company presents “Never Press a Loaded Gun Against a Lady”
“Annie Touch My Gun!”
Odd. Is all Halperin had to do was drop his pants and he could of easily gotten out of this.
Remember when he got suspended for calling O a dick on Morning Joe ?
The best way to handle this type of shit is to ignore the fucking bitches.
