The Woman at the Center of the Letterman Scandal

I knew before I read this story that she was the woman behind this Scandal with Dave . Dave is a powerful man and women are drawn to that. It doesn’t matter the age or how they may look. Sure Dave may not be a man that women would have fling with   but he is very rich. He is also honest guy and private he doesn’t flaunt his wealth everywhere namely like Donald Trump. It is a shame this man used Dave as a scapegoat to get more money pay off a debt and other legal debt from his divorce.   He was also a former producer getting who had annual income of $214,000 for award winning 48 hours which a show on CBS along with Dave Letterman. Hopefully Dave can weather the storm this will bring. Just like Monica  Lewinski  she was a intern who I’m sure is very intelligent and knew how to move up the ranks in field of work. Here more details about it all from People:

The Woman at the Center of the Letterman Scandal

Former David Letterman assistant Stephanie Birkitt has emerged as the woman at the center of the shocking plot to extort $2 million from the Late Show host, but who exactly is she?

Birkitt, 34, until recently lived with Robert "Joe" Halderman, Letterman's alleged blackmailer and a 48 Hours producer, according to multiple news sources, but die-hard Letterman fans likely remember Birkitt as the amiable assistant who often appeared on camera in silly outfits, yukking it up with Dave, who anointed her with nicknames including Smitty and Monty.

When Halderman allegedly handed over a package of potentially embarrassing information to Letterman last month – and threatened to go public unless he received a multimillion dollar payment – it reportedly included copies of parts of a diary and personal correspondence belonging to his then-girlfriend, Stephanie Birkitt, according to a search warrant obtained by FOX 5 News.The search warrant does not specify the contents of the diary – but Birkitt and her TV boss were undoubtedly close. A native of Plymouth, N.H., she graduated from Wake Forest University in 1997 and had already joined the Letterman team as an intern a year earlier, during her junior year. According to reports, after graduation she was accepted into the CBS page program and worked for shows including Letterman's and 48 Hours. She was named an associate producer on that news show, mainly working under correspondent Erin Moriarty, before eventually finding her way back to Letterman's Late Show.
