Neil
deGrasse Tyson will be back on the National Geographic Channel now that the
network has completed an investigation into accusations that the celebrity
astrophysicist engaged in sexual misconduct [He was accused of sexual
misconduct in Dec last year]. The network released a minimal statement to
Variety and did not elaborate on the findings:
“StarTalk”
will return to the air with the remaining 13 episodes in April on National
Geographic, and both Fox and National Geographic are committed to finding an
air date for “Cosmos.” There will be no further comment.
In November,
Patheos published accounts from two women who accused Tyson of behaving in a
sexually inappropriate manner with them. Nat Geo and Fox chose to investigate
the allegations and held off airing episodes of “Cosmos” and “Star Talk” until
the investigation was complete.
21st Century
Fox is the parent company of the Fox network and has a majority stake in the
National Geographic Channel. Tyson denied the accusations in a Facebook post
but said he welcomed the investigation.
