Laura Bassett Career
After accusing Matthews of inappropriate and sexist behavior in a column written just days before he resigned, Bassett claims she has been harassed online. Matthews announced his resignation during the show on Monday. On Wednesday, he was seen outside his home for the first time since resigning.
Since 2009, she has worked as a reporter for The Huffington Post. She has repeatedly spoken on women’s access to birth control and the ramifications of US policies. She currently writes for The Washington Post, GQ, InStyle, and Marie Claire about politics, gender, and culture.
She is the journalist accused of bringing down MSNBC host Chris Matthews. She is now giving Inside Edition her story. She claims she is astounded by the backlash she has received. She claims she has been advised to commit suicide, that she is a “whore,” that she is “ugly,” and that she should “go away.”
She believes Matthews’ behavior was inappropriate but does not believe he should be grouped in with Harvey Weinstein and others held accountable as a result of the #MeToo movement.
She stated that she was prompted to name Matthews after a heated argument between the ex-Hardball presenter and Senator Elizabeth Warren following the February 25 debate in Charleston about statements she made about allegations against Michael Bloomberg.
She first wrote in 2017 about being made uncomfortable by a popular television news personality. However, she did not name Matthews at the time. ‘Once more, Matthews was never my supervisor. ‘I am fairly certain that behavior does not constitute illegal sexual harassment,’ Bassett wrote in GQ.
‘However, it jeopardized my capacity to do my job well. Even though I did not name him in my tale, scores of individuals contacted me to say they knew exactly who it was. Many people had similar stories.’
She launched her assault on Matthews by outlining the ‘well-documented’ claims against him, stating that Matthews has a habit of making derogatory comments about women. She especially refers to comments Matthews allegedly made to Erin Burnett on television, saying, ‘You are a knockout… it is all right getting bad news from you.’
The blogger also cites a 2017 Daily Caller article in which one of the host’s former producers claimed that he evaluated female visitors numerically, designating them the ‘hottest of the week’ like a ‘teenage kid.’
Her journalistic career is defined by her commitment to covering critical social and political problems, notably those concerning women’s rights and gender equality. She has raised awareness of topics such as sexual harassment, reproductive rights, and gender discrimination through her reporting and campaigning, and she has lobbied for policy changes to address these issues.
Her reporting has also motivated other journalists and activists to speak up about these issues and strive toward a more just and equal society. Her reporting on sexual harassment contributed to the #MeToo movement, which has drawn attention to the widespread problem of sexual harassment and assault in the workplace and beyond.
