LOS ANGELES — David Letterman acknowledged on Thursday’s show that he had sexual relationships with female employees and that someone tried to extort him over the affairs.
During the taping of his CBS late-night show in New York, Letterman discussed receiving a threat to either pay $2 million or risk the relationships being made public. It was not immediately clear when the relationships took place; Letterman and Regina Lasko married in March. The couple began dating in 1986 and have a son, Harry, born in November 2003.
Letterman said that an investigation ended in an arrest Thursday after he wrote the suspect a phony check and testified before a grand jury. He did not identify the suspect. The Associated Press
