Well, this isn't entirely unexpected. Once David Letterman admitted to having sexual relationships with female staffers on his show, information about these women was bound to come out.

Holly Hester — a former NYU student who interned on the show — dated the funnyman for a year.

"I was madly in love with him at the time," Hester reportedly [said]. "I would have married him. He was hilarious."

And a source told People that Letterman had carried on another sexual relationship with an unnamed staffer during the late '90s.

"I'm not surprised this came out," the source, reportedly a former staffer as well, told the mag. "Even the interns knew stuff like that was going on."

The woman in question was a peer — "not an intern," according to the mag.

Another source said long days on the set of "The Late Show" led to a sexually charged environment.

"In politics it's the same thing," the source said. "People who live it, eat it, breathe it … [It's] not some sort of predatory, 'Let's hire beautiful women so we can feast on them' kind of thing. That’s just not the way it works.

"He never acted inappropriate with any of the female staff," the source said. "He was very kind, and I never recall anyone saying anything at all bad about him."

The person accused of attempting to exhort David, CBS producer Robert "Joe" Halderman, is said to have been experiencing financial difficulties. Here's what former CBS anchor Dan Rather had to say about Joe:

"I am surprised, mystified and stunned to hear these allegations against Halderman... They are almost impossible to believe. He was always a solid character, steady, reliable, and a good, swift writer."

Another colleague said Joe's "life is going to be ruined, and it shouldn't be... I just think that something must've snapped with him. I can't get over it."

I have to admit, I'm still really surprised about this whole thing. Are you?
