Buzz-Feed News revealed in a report Wednesday that it has been looking into sexual misconduct allegations against Neil deGrasse Tyson for "nearly three years." After a fourth woman came forward to level allegations against the famed astrophysicist, the outlet has now presented its findings.
"Over the course of nearly three years, BuzzFeed News has spoken with more than 30 people for this story, including the alleged victims and their families, Cosmos crew members, and graduate students and professors who were at UT Austin 30 years ago. Dozens more from that time did not reply to requests for interviews,"
On Saturday, BuzzFeed spoke with the astrophysicist's third accuser, Ashley Watson, who worked as Tyson's driver earlier this year and said that she had not taken Amet's (2014) accusations very seriously because of all the praise she heard about how "amazing a person" Tyson was and descriptions of Amet as a "mentally disturbed individual" who "lies for a living." After Tyson allegedly made sexual advances toward her to the point she felt compelled to quit her job, Watson now regrets having been so dismissive of Amet's claims.
