Letterman's Blackmailer Had Some Bills To Pay
As we mentioned earlier, David Letterman made a very public and personal statement when he told his audience that he was being blackmailed by some douchebag.
For $2 million!
Turns out Letterman's slept with many women on his staff. And when Robert "Joe" Halderman, a producer for CBS, found out, he threatened to write a screenplay and book about the embarrassing situation. Unless Letterman paid up.
So Letterman and his attorneys contacted the proper authorities and set up a sting with a fake $2 million check and caught the douche. Letterman might be an adulterer, but it's good to see he doesn't give in to a-hole threats.
And now, old court documents show Halderman had paid a pretty large amount in child and spousal support monthly to his ex-wife, Patty Montent since 2004.
Joe was required to pay $6,800 monthly for child and spousal support for three years. The amount was later reduced to $5,966 back in 2007.
Joe and his ex sold their house and divided the proceeds. They also split their debt equally and Joe was required to pay for the unreimbursed medical bills for his two children. Oh and he also had to maintain life insurance.
But we guess with all the bills that had added up, Joe needed some extra cash for his bank account?
Shady, shady.

Way to stay behind every other site douchebag.
Surprise , surprise he is a Republican
Again… More STEALING from T M Z
What a DOUCHEBAG!! I respect the fact that Letterman was honest about it.
yay.. david is awesome.
LOL what a dumbass.
Big deal, so Letterman banged a few broads. What guy hasn't? So where's the controversy?
Are you suggesting that the blackmailer is the only douchebag but not Letterman the serial adulterer.? Shame on you.!
well I guess he is going to get out of those payments now….since he is going to be sitting in prison.
Re: jbateman – So… just because he posts the same news means he's stealing? No one ever said he had to post everything in his own words.
Disappointed in Letterman. Just another sleazy boss cheating on his wife/girlfriend. I always thought he was above such behavior, but I guess not.
Um, the fact that he slept with several women on his staff shows that he was a serial sexual harrasser. Were these women only hired because they were attractive to him, were they hired because they agreed to sleep with him? Were other people passed over in being hired because he wanted to have women he wanted to sleep with on staff? Were any promoted for sleeping with him, or demoted etc.. for not?
Re: Phew!!! –
Letterman never claimed to be a saint. Unlike that ass munch Mark Sanford who preached on and on about "family values" and then was fucking that Argentinian whore on the side. When did Letterman ever say he was a poster boy for all that is correct and true? Hell, he didn't even get MARRIED until a year or 2 ago and he's been with that broad for more than 20 years.
How can people be so freaking weird?? This man was obviously either a complete idiot or desperate (or both), wow. Anyways, the moral in this is: Don't marry!! I can't believe divorce can put people into bankruptcy.
So cool to cut
the extortionist
off at the balls.
The truth will set you free-
and it won't
cost you 2 million.
I have always
thought that
Letterman had
an active libido
and a nice big pant snake.
Re: playergnslngr – He as only honest about it because he got caught.
SHOCKING HOW HE IS SO BLASE ABOUT SCREWING HIS STAFF. HIS STAFF. It's no different than a harem. It's a tacit part of the job. Um…you work for Dave? Wear something sexy. If you're lucking he'll think you're "special" and "pick you". VOMITOUS. I thought workplace politics had changed since the 50s? As for cheating on his woman..THAT'S between him and his woman…but screwing his staff…EXCUSE ME? And he's so nonchalent about it all "Yeah I screwed my staff..so what?"

And he's so nonchalent about it all "Yeah I screwed my staff..so what?" It's not that he's honest about it…it's that he just doens't care.

Can't you see how women on his staff are being disrespected? And you refer to his wife as "that broad". Why are you disrespecting his wife? What did she do?
Lets start calling Letterman a homewrecker. That's what you call Leanne Rimes and her new man. Why the exception for this douchebag who couldn't keep his dick in his pants?
Re: Spindoc – Thank you!!! People seem to be missing this important point. Can you believe what the atmosphere had to be like on that show?
*
"Pssst…wear something sexy…tomorrow's the board meeting with Dave. If he notices you perhaps he will "pick you" and that could be very good for your career."
*
"Oh, Bertha? She's been working at that job for 5 years. She never gets promoted. Dave doesn't really "notice" her…so you know. Hey, gotta go for a quick meeting in Dave's office. How do my boobs look?"
the mental picture of Letterman getting a staff member (let alone MANY) to screw him makes me feel a little slimy inside. Seems like it's the show business way, but it does make me lose a lot of respect for him. How embarrassing for his wife. Sleazebag.
NO PROBLEM WITH DAVE!
LOVE!
he shouldve just written the book, extortion rule number 1…. IT DOESNT WORK ON CELEBS OR ANY ONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER! Proceed at your own risk!
I love how earlier you were trying to be on the moral high ground by saying what Letterman did was wrong. Well being gay is wrong according to a lot of people so stop being the pot calling the kettle black you idiot.
WTF is wrong with you people. They're both white men in power who are piles of shit off-camera. BIG SURPRISE! They're BOTH douches. I'm not feeling bad for David Letterman at all. I love how this makes letterman look like "such a great guy." DOUCHEY DOUCHE DOUCHE. BOTH of them.
Wake up people.. we don't have the full story. These woman apparently were all ADULTS AND CAN HAVE SEX WITH ANYONE THEY WANT. IF IT WAS RAPE OR IF THEY WERE GOING TO GET FIRED IF THEY DID NOT SLEEP WITH HIM WELL THEN THAT IS DIFFERENT!!!!!!! David was not married at the time and this should now be between him and his wife.
Joe is a scumbag!
David Letterman was right to expose him!
BUT David Letterman took advantage of his position at work as the BOSS then hitting on women under him!!
Not Kewl!
Dave is still Awesome
He isn't an adulturer asshole. He was not married. He was just a guy dating / screwing someone in the office. Happens all the time.
Re: honey1981 – I know. By focusing on the guy trying to extort money from him, Letterman tried to redirect the spotlight off his disgusting behaviour to that of the extortionist. And it worked. The audience was actually APPLAUDING HIM for sleeping WITH HIS STAFF. Unbelievable.
Re: LaLaSue – He screwed much of his FEMALE STAFF who were under him (literally and figuratively). That is an ABUSE of power and sexual harassment as well.
No report said he was involved with "SEVERAL" women. He had some sexual relationships. We don't know anything about his long-term relationship except that he was married a few years ago.
Re: Kate Gosselin!!!COLON!!! Breeder. –
How many fucking times are you going to post the same rebuttal and tailor it to whoever you are replying to? I read it the first couple times. Jeez, did anyone on the OTHER end (meaning the women he screwed) ever think that THEY participated, therefore, they were also unprofessional and wrong? Such a stupid fucking double standard. People like you make me want to throw up. And no…I DON'T WORK FOR DAVE. Just because someone feels the way I do means he/she works for Dave? You make no sense.
Re: Dave Letterman!!!COLON!!! Staff fucker –
Uh…what was he going to do….fuck his MALE staff? That was dumb…and so are you.
Dave is an old condescending womanizing, arrogant, overpaid, Obama loving piece of garbage! Dave also cheats on his wife and kids, what a man!
It is never truly consensual when you are having sexual relations with someone you have the power to fire. Just as boss-subordinate relations are always inappropriate, so are any sexual relations between professor-student, therapist-patient, producer-actress, coach-athlete, etc.
HAHAHAHA FUCKIN SCUMBAG LETTERMAN!!! Karma baby for all the shit you said about the Palins you unfunny worthless piece of shit!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha. Fire the creep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: uncle eldon – I agree whole heartedly!! HE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never was funny..never will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: cookiepuss71 – Don't let that Pig (or Cow) bother you! Just a stupid Monkey! Gets drunk and bothers people here incessantly!
Hope he had fun - whatver - did u ever think maybe his better half could care less - some woman truly r not into certain activities and if that's the case well once again hope Dave had fun and his wife got some rest. Sa la vie! In the end she is married to him and not the others.
Re: cookiepuss71 – I need to post it many times because someone like you, with the intellect of a donut, doesn't understand it when I post only once. M'kay?
*
As for working for Dave, um I never suggested you did! But thanks for saying you don't….overcompensating much? Either you truly are stupid and can't read or you really DO work for Dave since you clarified a question…I didn't even ask. You airhead misogynist. I hope someone screws you then fires you. LOL.
letterman is an @$$hole he use to be funny back in the day but now he's just bitter, mean and old.
Letterman is a class act. I hope this scumbag who tried to blackmail him gets his just dessert.
Re: jlenoconel – Being gay is not a choice jackass!
Re: Kodes100 – I agree with the first part of your thought, but how do you know these women didn't throw themselves at him?
Re: kissmyassobama – You poor pathetic right wing moron!
Re: uncle eldon – Gee so I guess he is just like a lot of Republicans who do/did the same thing!
Re: Dave Letterman!!!COLON!!! Staff fucker – we're all English reading adults here. I agreed with you the FIRST time, but really, you're hurting your case by posting the same damn thing obsessively.
Then you insult somebody ELSE'S intellect when you keep copying and pasting the same fucking argument over and over?? Try using that tactic in a real verbal debate and see who takes you seriously. LOL.
Hah, I;m just suprised David can still get some. n_n
he totally managed this situation .. wow..
Re: candycaynegirl – LOL! You think intellect has anything to do with cutting and pasting incessently? If anything, it has more to do with OCD. But you're too stupid to understand that. And b/c of your intellectual incompetence, you really shouldn't debate with anyone…let alone me. Fly away little fruit fly…pffft.
I Love/d dave's show…but now I look at the two photo's above and see doushe-bags…both of them. Thought Dave had standards but he's a fame-riding, hoar.
I'm famous - you wanna keep your job…well - lets go into my private office…
I'll lock the door and we'll talk?
Re: Dave Letterman!!!COLON!!! Staff fucker – lol. you have fucking issues. Clearly you are not mentally capable of engaging in any kind of debate without resorting to childish personal insults (to a fucking stranger you know nothing about no less). My asshole contributes more intelligence to society than your entire being. Enjoy that OCD.
Re: Kate Gosselin!!!COLON!!! Breeder. –
I agree here…
Re: Bugface – You're an IDIOT if you think this fucker has any talent! Fuck off!!!
Re: Dave Letterman!!!COLON!!! Staff fucker – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!
CANT BLAME ANY WOMEN FOR FUCKING THAT GAP TOOTHED SLIME..THEY WANT A JOB..BUT DAMN HE IS SO FUCKIN UGLY ,HE NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANYONE TO SCREW HIM WITHOUT POWER.
Re: Bugface – DO YOU CHOOSE WHO YOU SCREW?? SO DO "GAY" PEOPLE..ITS A CHOICE WHO THEY PULL THEIR PANTS DOWN FOR.!
Re: Miss Megs – You are very sad, you know that ?
Way to go Dave and who the hell hasn't cheated, I mean, come on America, don't be such hypocrites, you practicly invented the "affair".
Re: kissmyassobama – You are quite sad aswell.
He doesn't seem like a guy that would easily part with 2M, the blackmailer made a bad judgement call there. He barely spent on his own wedding. Get a clue dude!
erm…Halderman is the douche here?
Hey, ever heard of dating? Dave has only been married for 1 year and has never made a secret of his dating liife. You all need to SHUT UP.
David Letterman use poor judgement for having sex with the "staff". The network he works for should fire him for exposing them to workplace lawsuits for sexual harrassment. The network needs to do the right thing and get rid of this problem just like any other company.
Bravo.
Dear Mr. Letterman: HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
