DAVID LETTERMAN HAS ADMITTED TO HAVING SOME AFFAIRS . . . BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS GOING TO TRY TO BLACKMAIL HIM OVER THEM:
Friday October 2nd, 2009
If you missed "Late Night with David Letterman" last night, you missed a good one. Because Dave was forced to admit on his show that he's played the piano with some of his female employees.
And the reason he was forced to admit it is because someone was threatening to blackmail him for $2 million.
Letterman told the audience, "This morning, I did something I've never done in my life. I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury."
Letterman said he admitted to the grand jury that he'd had affairs. He said, "My response to that is, yes I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would.
"I feel like I need to protect these people. I need to certainly protect my family."
That "family" would be Letterman's longtime companion, Regina Lasko, and their 5-year-old son Harry. Letterman and Lasko have been together since 1986 . . . but they just got married this past March.
The perpetrator was arrested yesterday. His name is Robert Halderman . . . and at some point, he was a producer for CBS's "48 Hours".
According to RadarOnline.com, Halderman was living with one of the women Letterman was having an affair with . . . which is how he got his information, obviously.
This particular affair happened years ago . . . long before Letterman married Regina, and before she gave birth to their son. But he and Regina WERE a couple . . . and were living together.
The woman reportedly still works on Dave's show . . . but their romantic relationship ended a long time ago.
