Disgraced Charlie Rose, who 35 women have accused of sexual misconduct, is invited to exclusive week-long mogul retreat as rumors circle he will appear in a #MeToo comeback TV show
The invitation, reported by Bloomberg this week, has put a spotlight on the Sun Valley conference, and what should become of men accused of sexual assault in the #MeToo era.
Rose is accused of acting inappropriately or sexually harassing 35 women during his time in television - and 27 of those women only had their allegations made public last month in the Washington Post.
The accusations vary widely. While some women claim he asked them sexual questions, others claim they were invited into his bathroom while he showered and some say they were groped by the man, who is also accused of exposing himself to women.
As allegations against the 76-year-old began to emerge, he was fired by CBS from his lead role on This Morning, and lost his eponymous talk show on PBS.
If Rose attends the event, he will be rubbing shoulders with media kingpins Rupert, Lachlan and James Murdoch, Bob Iger, Shari Redstone and Jeff Bewkes, as well as tech tycoons Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, Vanity Fair reported.
Les Moonves, chairman, president, and CEO of CBS - the network that once relied on Rose to anchor their morning show - has also been invited to the exclusive event.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, Warren Buffett and Casey Wasserman - who is running the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic effort, are also on the invitation list.
The conference, held by Allen & Co. in the Sun Valley attracts some of the most wealthy and powerful people in the world.
Attendees generally spend the week making deals, attending panels on business and politics, and hiking in the pristine bushland nearby. It kicks off on July 9.
