Charlie Rose fired by CBS after sexual assault allegations by 13 women

Charlie Rose has been fired by CBS, less than 24 hours after multiple women accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

The news was revealed in an interview memo sent to staffers by CBS News president David Rhodes, who stated that 'there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace.'

Rhodes, also said: '

I've also heard that things used to be different. And no one can change the past.
'But what may once have been accepted should not ever have been acceptable.' 

Hours earlier, a shocked Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell addressed the sudden departure of their co-host on CBS This Morning.

Rose was initially suspended from the network yesterday when the Washington Post published the accounts of eight women who claim they were sexually harassed or assaulted by the journalist.

That was followed by additional allegations from five other women.
