A 4th woman has come forward to BuzzFeed to accuse astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson of sexual misconduct, this time at a holiday party for American Museum of Natural History employees in 2010:
No one believed Tchiya Amet when she said Neil deGrasse Tyson had raped her in the 1980s.
Now, three other women told us that he harassed them, including one who’s sharing her story publicly for the first time https://t.co/yd6Qyl94Xk

From BuzzFeed:
Now a fourth woman has told BuzzFeed News her experience of sexual harassment from Tyson. In January 2010, she recalled, she joined her then-boyfriend at a holiday party for employees of the American Museum of Natural History. Tyson, its most famous employee, drunkenly approached her, she said, making sexual jokes and propositioning her to join him alone in his office. In a 2014 email shared with BuzzFeed News, she described the incident to her own employer in order to shoot down a proposed collaboration with Tyson.
Tyson’s explanations for the first 3 allegations were shady, at best. What will he say about this 4th one?
Of note, BuzzFeed has been investigating Tyson FOR 3 YEARS NOW:
Over the course of nearly three years, BuzzFeed News has spoken with more than 30 people for this story, including the alleged victims and their families, Cosmos crew members, and graduate students and professors who were at UT Austin 30 years ago. Dozens more from that time did not reply to requests for interviews.
Is the science settled yet?
