One of the women at the centre of the David Letterman extortion case is Stephanie Birkitt.
Last week, Letterman publicly apologised to his wife on live on air for sexual relationships with women who worked for him.
In that statement he also said that he had been the victim of a $2 million blackmail threat.
Stephanie Birkitt, former assistant of David Letterman’s, is reportedly one of the women whom the talk show host had an affair with.
Birkitt lived with the man who attempted to extort Letterman for $2 million, Robert Halderman, a producer for CBS.
In a 2003 interview Stephanie Birkitt stated about Letterman:
"Aside from being incredibly funny and personable he is generous, kind, and is great fun to play catch with. I really couldn’t ask for a more fun work environment. Dave is truly the greatest boss I could ever have."
