It could be the the beginning of a wave of bad publicity for David Letterman. The first of many former staff members has confirmed David's claims that he's had hanky panky in the office.
Stephanie Birkett is one of at least two staff members involved regarding the David Letterman extortion plot. What's most interesting is that court documents (according to TMZ) show that Birkett wasn't only David Letterman's lover she later lived with the Producer arrested for the attempted extortion of Letterman. The blackmailer Robert Halderman actually had accessed Birkett's diary along with correspondence and photos which would incriminate Letterman.
If there is any silver lining to Letterman's hypocrisy it's that his relationship with Birkett ended prior to his son Harry being born.
You may recall Birkett did remote stand-ups for the Letterman show from the 2002 Winter Olympics. Birkett has other spots on the show as well.
