Cancellation
On December 13, 2017, PBS indefinitely suspended Smiley. PBS issued a statement saying that it had hired a law firm to conduct an investigation "immediately after learning of troubling allegations regarding Mr. Smiley" and that this investigation "uncovered multiple, credible allegations of conduct that is inconsistent with the values and standards of PBS." It was reported by "Variety" that Smiley was let go due to multiple relationships with subordinates, some of whom felt the relationship was connected to their employment. It was also alleged that Smiley created an environment that was "verbally abusive and threatening." Smiley's suspension followed PBS' decision to part ways with Charlie Rose. Smiley is accused of having "had sexual relationships with multiple staff members, some of whom reportedly felt that their relationship with the TV host was connected to their employment status."

On December 14, Smiley described the PBS investigation as "biased and sloppy" and said he would fight the allegations and the damage to his reputation. He released a statement saying, "I have the utmost respect for women and celebrate the courage of those who have come forth to tell their truth." He also said, "To be clear, I have never groped, coerced or exposed myself inappropriately to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career, covering six networks over 30 years."

Soon after the suspension, Smiley went on a country-wide tour to defend his innocence while also supporting the #MeToo movement and denouncing workplace harassment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unisaw (talk • contribs) 23:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
