A new report by Washington Post has detailed multiple incidents of sexual harassment dating back to as late as 1990s.
The eight women, who worked for his production company or were trying to get a job, have accused Rose of making unwanted sexual advances and described his behaviour which included lewd phone calls, groping, and Rose walking around naked in front of them.
In a statement, CBS whose show "CBS This Morning" is hosted by Rose, said, "Charlie Rose is suspended immediately while we look into this matter. These allegations are extremely disturbing and we take them very seriously."
Similarly, Bloomberg and PBS, which run the anchor's "Charlie Rose", have said that they would keep the programme off of their networks, reported Los Angeles Times.
Rose, 75, has apologised for his behaviour in a statement posted on his official Twitter account.
