Kyle Godfrey-Ryan was in her early 20s and had taken time off from her college studies in the mid-2000s when
a friend offered to introduce her to Charlie Rose. She was unfamiliar with his show but was soon hired to be his
assistant.
From the beginning, there was a blurring of the boundaries between Rose's professional and private life, she
said. On her first day on the job, Rose injured his foot. She tended to him as he recovered.
But soon, Godfrey-Ryan said, he began yelling at her, calling her stupid and incompetent and pathetic.
"He repeatedly attacked her in front of other people," recalled a former producer who spoke on the condition of
anonymity. "He once said that because she hadn't gotten a college degree she would never amount to anything
better than his secretary."
After the bouts of rage, Godfrey-Ryan said, Rose would often be conciliatory.
"It would usually entail some version of him also touching me," she said. "A hand on the upper thigh. He'd
give a hug but touch the side of the breast."
She said she ignored his actions. Then he began calling her as late as midnight and as early as 6 a.m.
"It would be wanting to know details of my sex life," she said. " `Who's next to you? What do you do? Is he
touching you?' And I was like, `Okay, Charlie, I'll see you tomorrow.' I just acted like it wasn't happening."
She said other calls involved a "very specific, repetitive fantasy" of her disrobing at the Bellport home and
swimming "back and forth in the pool in the moonlight" as he watched from his bedroom.
Her boyfriend at the time, now her husband, told The Post that he was often present for these calls but said he
did not know what was being discussed. The content of the calls, however, was openly discussed in the office
and even joked about, according to Godfrey-Ryan and the producer who worked there at the time.
Godfrey-Ryan also said Rose would repeatedly walk in front of her naked at one of his New York City
residences. Her husband confirmed that she complained to him about it at the time.
She said she ignored the nudity. "He was getting more and more frustrated that I wouldn't engage," she said.
Godfrey-Ryan said she reported the touching and the calls to Vega, but nothing happened.
"She just made me feel like I was being a dramatic little girl," Godfrey-Ryan said. She stopped reporting the
behavior.

Godfrey-Ryan said she eventually confided to a mutual friend outside the show about Rose, and the friend told
Rose.
She said Rose fired her.
"He took me out to lunch and told me how embarrassed he was, how he didn't treat me like that," she said. "It
was really about how I got it wrong, and, obviously, I couldn't work there anymore."
