Report: Stephanie Birkitt cheated on her boyfriend with Letterman last year
The NY Post also reports that Dave offered to hire assistant Stephanie as his personal lawyer and that, according to Stephanie's diary, she continued sleeping with David Letterman last fall even while living with her "48 Hours" producer boyfriend, who is charged with extorting the "Late Show" host. According to the Post, "Letterman and Birkitt enjoyed romantic hikes last fall at his sprawling ranch in eastern Montana — where he was married in March." She would reportedly tell her boyfriend Robert Halderman that her relationship with Letterman was just a "platonic relationship." "I'm his best friend," she reportedly said.
