The longtime of his self-titled show PBS, Tavis said that the network made the mistake of his initial suspension. Though he denied the sexual misconduct allegation against him, he noticed that he had consensual sexual relationships with subordinates.

Moreover, he also publicly revealed his relationships with female coworkers. But he also said the media to differentiate between his case and other allegations of harassment, assault, and rape. This is the reason that has brought down leading lawmakers and media personalities in recent weeks.
