“

There were just four of us in the studio : Bobby Slayton, me and these two [ camera ] women. And they were laughing and laughing and laughing. And next thing you know, I get a letter and a phone call. And the producer of the show calls me in and tells me if I don't apologize to the two women for what Bobby Slayton did, I'm going to be fired. And I said,' Why ?' And he said,' It's sexual harassment,' i said,' How am I guilty of sexual harassment ? It was he who stood up there.' And he said,' Well, you encouraged it.' And I said,' Well, they were laughing.' He said,' They were laughing because they were uncomfortable. And if you don't apologize to them, I might have to let you go.' So I apologized. If that had been on my record, it would have looked as if I had been guilty of sexual harassment because of an apology. I'm telling you what the facts were.
