\u201c\u201dI hired him as a consultant to work on some radio strategy for us,\u201d Stoute told Rolling Stone in a statement.\u00a0\u201cI know Charlie and his wife Lauren really well. During the entire crisis, I\u2019ve spoken to him. Before I considered bringing him on as a consultant, I sat down with his wife and my rationale was very simple: His wife stayed with him. She believes him. He denied it. Who am I to go any further than that? If there was anything more to it\u00a0\u2014 like if his wife left him or whatever\u00a0\u2014 I would\u2019ve probably had a different point of view on it. I felt after talking to his wife that I wasn\u2019t doing anything that was wrong using him as a consultant. It was fine. That\u2019s what I assumed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stoute was asked if he read the reports by several women alleging Walk’s misbehavior.<\/p>\n
\u201cI read some of it,” he said. “Obviously, there is concern anytime there\u2019s women\u2019s rights involved or anybody\u2019s rights. I\u2019m an African-American man. I don\u2019t like African-Americans not being treated fairly. I don\u2019t like women not being treated fairly. I don\u2019t think gays and lesbians should be treated unfairly. I come from struggling to get my voice heard and get fair treatment. So certainly that gave me concern. Any inequality gives me concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tristan Coopersmith, Walk’s former employee at Columbia Records, posted an open letter to Walk in January that led to several women adding their voices to the sentiment:<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a year I shuddered at the idea of being called into your office, where you would stealthily close the door and make lewd comments about my body and share your fantasies of having sex with me,\u201d she wrote, adding he would put his hand on her thigh and \u201cwhisper disgusting things into my ear and I had to smile so that no one suspected anything. On multiple occasions your wife was sitting right across from us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walk was a judge on the Sean Combs-produced singing battle “The Four,” which had its season two finale on Fox in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
