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'.

He just wanted to show her a black hole.......................
Yeah, but climate change and stuff.
Was he Bill Cosby’s protégé and wingman too? Geez!
Is he actually renowned? Or is this just liberal media puffery? I know he is used to promote liberal junk science, but I doubt he is much of a scientist. He does take a "hands on" approach to his work, however.
And told her “I’d like to send a probe to Uranus.”
So 34 years ago he made some jokes and asked a woman to come to his office and that is sexual assault? I’d say most every guy I knew in the early 80,s is guilty then. What a load of crap.
And told her “I’d like to send a probe to Uranus.”
LOL! This TURD will blame it on pocket “Global(2) Warming”!
He is an arrogant and condescending prick BTW.
He holds a NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal (2004), a Klopsteg Memorial Award, a Science Writing Award, a Douglas S. Morrow Public Outreach Award, the Dunlap Prize, Public Welfare Medal from the National Academy of Sciences, Hubbard Medal from the National Geographic Society is Director of the Hayden Planetarium, has held numerous posts at the University of Maryland, Princeton University, the American Museum of Natural History, has been vice-president, president, and chairman of the board of the Planetary Society, oh, and President George W. Bush appointed Tyson to serve on the Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry and in 2004 to serve on the President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy, the latter better known as the "Moon, Mars, and Beyond" commission. Soon afterward, he was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest civilian honor bestowed by NASA.
But yeah, it must all be liberal media puffery, the same way Bill Cosby's reputation as a renowed comedian and entertainer was "liberal media puffery". And nothing says "liberal media" like being appointed top science posts by President George W. Bush, right?
“For a variety of reasons, most justified, some unjustified, men accused of sexual impropriety in today’s ‘me-too’ climate are presumed to be guilty by the court of public opinion,” he said. “Emotions bypass due-process, people choose sides, and the social media wars begin. In any claim, evidence matters. Evidence always matters. But what happens when it’s just one person’s word against another’s, and the stories don’t agree?”
Wow. Could have been written by Brett Kavanaugh.
A fourth woman?! Old Neil is finished I think.
Media puffery.
DON’T EVER ASK A WOMEN OUT AGAIN if you value your career.
ATTN Women: It all up to you now.
Actually the rape claim is the one from 34 years ago. The drunken pass thing was 8 years ago. Just briefly heard the other 2 claims and don’t have dates for them. One was that he invited a woman over to his place for wine, the other was that he touched a woman as she was showing him her solar system tattoo (the jokes just write themselves on that one).
It’s human nature to try to get laid. Men are the gas, women are the brakes.
“Baby, it’s cold outside.....”
I agree. You have, 1 rape allegation.. obviously serious if true.
Then you have what are at worst some drunken and clumsy passes with women he has no association with or control over.
Then you have a subordinate who went to his apartment voluntarily, and suffered a clumsy attempt at a seduction.
The rape allegation serious. The middle two? Why is this news?
And the third, no one forced this woman to attend, and any woman invited by a guy back to his place alone, can’t be so stupid to not assume more is implied. And at the end of it Nothing happened but some funky handshake. No allegation of forced anything or professional retribution for nothing more happening.
Honest to God, lock every man up now, because other than the first allegation, there isn’t a man breathing who hasn’t put out a failed or awkward pass... or had a woman misinterpret innocent intentions.
I am no fan of Mr Tyson, but other than the rape allegation, none of this is news.
I’ve had women I have no interest in grab my ass and other things, or make very overt passes at me that I had to extricate myself from.. from sober and drunk women... yes technically some of these situations would be assault, but what is served by having some drunk woman arrested for behavior that they would almost certainly be mortified or embarasses that they did when drunk? Or if not drunk, what benefit would it served that they misread my lack of interest and went to far?
I will defend any woman who has truly been assaulted or threatened, but where are these women’s mothers and fathers and how are they raising them that they are a victim of some guy just makes a pass drunken or otherwise that they are not interested in.
“Men are gas and women are brakes”
And that’s why male homosexuality is so destructive
