Nothing says innocent like a mid-investigation resignation.

The now former President of ABC Entertainment Group, Steve McPherson has resigned after being accused of multiple accounts of sexual harassment. Here’s what McPherson’s attorney, Tom Hoberman, had to say about the subject:

"Upon Steve McPherson returning to work from his vacation on Monday, he made a voluntary decision to resign and ABC accepted his resignation.

He must have had an incriminating weekend. Here’s more from Hoberman:

"It is not uncommon for high level executives to be the subject of gossip and innuendo. That would include rumors of internal situations which can easily be misinterpreted or misrepresented. Seems like it goes with the territory, and there is nothing further to discuss."

Steve had the following to say on his own behalf:

"I want to thank the wonderful breasts on the team of individuals who have worked with me throughout my time here and wish them nothing but the best."

Very touching words from a man who very much liked touching his co-workers.

      Dude pay attention to the crap your company is putting on America's TV.
      The View, the home of Elisabeth the biggest drip on TV,
      The Bachelorette the year of the totally bad hair extensions.
      Stop chasing skirt and do your job, i'm sure you are/were well paid, and damn lucky to have a job.

      Very touching words from a man who very much liked touching his co-workers.

      Ok, so now you, as an all-knowing semi-god, have decided he is guilty of all charges. As usual: Perez judge and jury… and executioner.

      Why can't a president of a TV network fool around with some of the talent? Jesus, a little pinch an giggle with a few young actresses who are hungry for a part should really be considered part of the compensation package. Grow up people, the world is a fucken whorehouse. Embrace it.
