Mark Halperin apologizes for 'inappropriate' behavior toward women

MSNBC contributor Mark Halperin apologized late Wednesday for what he conceded was “inappropriate” behavior with women he worked with.

CNN reported Wednesday that five women accused Halperin of sexual harassment after he gained a powerful perch as ABC News’ political director, a position he was named to in 1997. The women, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity, accused Halperin of sexual harassment at ABC News, where Halperin worked until 2007.

“During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me,” Halperin, 52, said in a statement to CNN late Wednesday. “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.”

According to CNN, the harassment ranged from propositioning co-workers for sex to kissing and grabbing a woman’s breasts. Three women told CNN that Halperin pressed his genitals against their bodies. Halperin denies allegations that he grabbed a woman’s breasts and pressed an erection against the three women.

All but one woman worked at ABC News at the time of the incident, and none reported directly to Halperin. None of the women said Halperin promised anything in exchange for sex or threatened to retaliate, CNN said.

ABC News noted that Halperin left the company a decade ago and said “no complaints were filed during his tenure.”

MSNBC, where Halperin is a regular contributor, took a harder line against the veteran journalist and the allegations against him.

“We find the story and the allegations very troubling,” an MSNBC spokesperson said. “Mark Halperin is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past conduct are fully understood.”

"Halperin allegedly grabbed a woman's breasts without consent and pressed his clothed, erect penis against three of his co-workers. The "Morning Joe" regular denied those allegations, according to CNN, but did not specifically deny the women's accusations that he had propositioned them for sex."

Forgive posting this in multiple threads but there was no Halperin thread at the time....

I am really beginning to respect Mark Halperin and John Heilemann as political reporters - they truly get why "Trump" poll numbers are high.

Lacrosse is the old hockey crowd isn't it? We have this giant new indoor workout facility in West Dundee (closed Target and Best Buy stores). My son had training in it this fall for physical fitness. There was a large allocation of space for lacrosse, and I was surprised how many kids were there practicing. There was soccer as well. Yuck on both fronts.

So I posted yesterday in the OReilly thread about Frotteurism. Mark Halperin is your classic Frotteur. Usually they can be found on crowded NYC subways or big city elevators, and apparently running Time Magazine.

Mike Tiricio and Chris Berman should be thanking their lucky stars social media wasn't around 20 years ago.

Actually, I don't remember if Berman supposedly groped one or more women or if he was just loudmouthed lout.

Oh I think Deadspin did a fine job of exposing the "horndoggery" at ESPN. I quite enjoyed those articles.

The first Curb was about a woman thinking Larry was displaying an erection.
