Two women have accused E! News correspondent and author Ken Baker of sexual harassment, including a former intern who claims he texted her that he would give her “a Tiffany dildo with ‘Ken Baker’ engraved on the shaft.” Baker, who has been vocal in his condemnation of Harvey Weinstein over the past few weeks, allegedly made sexual overtures both in person and over text in 2011 and 2012. The former intern reportedly provided a screenshot of exchanges with Baker to the news site. He allegedly called one of the women into his office and asked that she sit on his lap. He allegedly kissed the other without consent. Baker told The Wrap: “I am very disturbed by these anonymous allegations, which make my heart ache. I take them very seriously. I care deeply for people’s feelings and sincerely live in a way that treats people with dignity and respect.” He has been pulled off the air while E! investigates the claims.
