Report: Jimmy Kimmel stole new girlfriend from another show staffer. Typical or tawdry?

Jimmy-kimmel-(UPDATED 5:45 PM) Are all talk show hosts workplace sexual predators?

Radaronline.com reports that Jimmy Kimmel got rid of his new girlfriend Molly McNearney's boyfriend, who also worked on the show. 

UPDATE: But according to Lewis Kay, Jimmy's publicist, "We will not even dignify this ludicrous report with any sort of comment."

According to Radaronline.com, Jimmy, who had been attracted to Molly for some time, got her boyfriend shoved off his show so he could hook up with Molly.

 The source told RadarOnline.com: "The guy was totally shocked because he had become good friends with Jimmy and had frequented Kimmel's NFL Sunday parties for his staff and friends at his Los Angeles home.

 "Jimmy acted like a total snake no matter what way he tries to spin it – just like Letterman he abused his power by promoting Molly, and everyone knows it."

Wow. Do you believe this? Doesn't sound Jimmy to us. Did Jimmy graduate from the David Letterman School of Dating? Or is this common, in and out of the office?

More Kimmel Dish:

Did David Letterman's ratings inspire Jimmy Kimmel to date a staffer? Joking, we're joking.

Would you watch Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman's sex tape?

There IS a Jimmy Kimmel sex tape. With Kevin Nealon.

All the best dirt on Jimmy Kimmel.

Does anyone else remember when the LA Times was a newspaper?

This story is a perfect example of why newspapers are becoming obsolete. Where's the story here? Where are the facts?

And here's the Journalist's Creed in case anyone at the LA Times needs a reminder:

The creed

I believe in the profession of Journalism.

I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of this trust.

I believe that clear thinking, clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.

I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true. I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible

I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one's own pocket book is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another's instructions or another's dividends.

I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.

I believe that the journalism which succeeds the best-and best deserves success-fears God and honors man; is stoutly independent; unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power; constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of the privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance, and as far as law, an honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship, is a journalism of humanity, of and for today's world.
