A fourth woman has come forward to accuse scientist and TV host Neil deGrasse Tyson of sexual assault.
Two more allegations against the renowned scientist came to light last week after an original allegation Tyson drugged and raped former classmate Tchiya Amet in 1984.
But on Wednesday a fourth sexual assault claim was published by Buzzfeed News from a woman who says Tyson propositioned her at a party in the American Museum of Natural History, New York in 2010.
According to the article, the unidentified woman said Tyson, who is director of the museum, 'drunkenly approached her' while 'making sexual jokes and propositioning her to join him alone in his office'.

Being a hetero male is basically taboo in today’s society.
Getting rid of Pluto, and now this?
Witnesses? Evidence?
you listed a lot of awards, but no real accomplishments - I'm guessing it's a combination of affirmative action, and media puffery.
By the principle of "innocent until PROVEN guilty", then he's "not guilty" and no punishment may be applied.
Nothing is “up to them”; they’ve poisoned the well and too many guys ain’t drinking. Women are reaping what they’ve sown, and THEY HATE IT.
It’s all about dark matter.
I suspect the latter.
Live by the sword...
Apparently trying to get laid is a sex crime.
Not at work!
I had no opinion of him before about 3 years ago. I have found that belief in human-caused global warming PLUS belief in the ability of politicians to reduce the global "temperature" 100 years from now is a great, great indicator of weak, butt-kissing mind.
Whenever I argue with Ayn Rand's cultists and criticize her books, they accuse me of disliking her and calling her a hack because I don't like that she's an atheist.
I wasn't even aware she an atheist until just a few years ago, though I've said for DECADES that I disliked her novels because she is a crappy writer. Now that I know she's an atheist, I can say I disagree with her on that. However, I would never falsely accuse of her "making a living by promoting atheism", and put her in the same camp as someone who DOES do that like Richard Dawkins. Atheism is just one issue she touches on among many others. I sincerely dislike her because she's a no-talent hack who writes one-dimensional characters, and beats her audience over the head with her "message". The fact I may agree with her on free market economics won't change the rest of that. I can agree with the message but thoroughly disagree with the messenger.
With Neil deGrasse Tyson, it's the opposite. I have thoroughly enjoyed his talks, presentations, and books for years. He's very engaging and articulate, and extremely knowledgeable in the area of physics. I wasn't even aware until a few years ago that he's wrong on the global warming issue. I disagree with him on that, but unlike his haters on here, I would never accuse him of "making a living promoting the global warming scam" like Al Gore does, or put him in the same category as a guy with a engineering degree who pretends to be a "scientist" because he hosted a children't TV show 20 years ago. Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about a wide range of issues, and only briefly touched on global warming in one episode when he hosted "Cosmos", for example. He is a legitimate credentialed scientist with a Ph.D. in that area of science, and a long history working in the field AND being appointed by a Republican president to oversee scientific work, whether I agree with him on global warming or not.
In short, it seems the Tyson bashers on here actually behave the way the Ayn Rand cultists FALSELY accuse her detractors of behaving. Anyone who disagrees with them on global warming is a "hack", no matter how much they demonstrate otherwise and no matter how much they are right on other issues. Also, it seems people can't separate a person's abilities with whether the person shares their worldview on an issue. I find that interesting.
So showing interest in a woman at a party is harassment... got it
Rand: Someone put me on a ping list but I’ve never read any of her books, I think my mom told me once that I would like them. If I ever did read one it would probably be to check out the “rape” scene in “The Fountainhead”. Saw the movie where Helen Mirren played her, I don’t think she ever put her cigarette down for a second. Eric Stoltz has a very punchable face. Cliff notes version of her philosophy sounds appealing to me. People saying “Go Galt” I’ve always found to be annoying.
Tyson: I wanted to like that science show of his they were pushing by airing on EVERY Fox owned network. But it was just boring as hell, the grandeur of the universe should make for easy storytelling but I guess not. I like his vest with stars on it.
So he’s Cosby? Obviously I don’t know the man but I have trouble seeing that, I’ve heard people say he’s a jerk but... At this point on no account am I’m gonna give the benefit of the doubt to a bunch of me too bimbos coming out of the woodwork years later with no proof. I don’t care what his political views are, there is a war on men going on, all men. Reputations destroyed on nothing but the word of of God’s least truthful creature, the woman? (haha just kidding ladies) I can’t abide it, even if dude is a lib.
“..People saying “Go Galt” I’ve always found to be annoying...”
Day’s coming when it won’t be enough to simply “Go Galt”.
Going to take a lot more than that.
I’ve never read Ayn Rand’s books. I’ve seen the film version of “The Fountainhead.” If we were supposed to side with Gary Cooper’s Howard Roark character, it didn’t work with me. He wanted to build an ugly, soulless modernist-style skyscraper, while his benefactors wanted something classic.
He persisted in wanting his ugly tower built, and the benefactors were kind enough to split the difference and formulate a classic base with the modernist tower, and still Roark was pissed. Ugly is ugly, and I thought he was a self-righteous jackass with a terrible design aesthetic. Of course, as a lover of classic architecture (especially Second Empire, for which countless American cities and towns tore down en masse in the modern era), I deplore most modern architecture with a passion.
More like “Go Bronson/Go Stallone” (e.g. Rambo or Paul Kersey).
Virtue signaling convinces the left of its own unimpeachable morals. When push comes to shove, it rejects guilt for any of its wrongdoing and attributes such allegations to conspiracy theories.
Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be "attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "BELIEVE WOMEN."
