The David Letterman sex scandal has taken a bizarre new twist – following revelations that The Late Show icon took his mistress Stephanie Birkitt on a Caribbean vacation with his wife Regina Lasko and their young son.
The New York Post is reporting that Lasko had no idea that her husband was involved with the $200,000 a year employee who is at the center of a $2 million blackmail plot involving television producer Robert Halderman.
It’s understood the bizarre love triangle saw the trio once go to St Barts together along with Letterman and Lasko’s son Harry, 6.
According to sources Lasko, 48, is fuming that Letterman, 62, took the much younger Birkitt, 34, on their family vacations.

According to sources Lasko, 48, is fuming that Letterman, 62, took the much younger Birkitt, 34, on their family vacations.
It’s understood that Lasko believed that Birkitt was only a friend and a innocent co-worker at the time – only last fall Letterman and Birkitt took hikes together at the family’s Montana ranch also.
Notoriously private Lasko, a one-time Late Show employee too, married Letterman in March after being his girlfriend for 23 years.
Birkitt, also a Late Show employee, was identified as Letterman’s lover after a failed attempt by another former boyfriend television producer Robert Halderman to extort $2 million from the talk show giant.
Halderman learned of Birkitt’s affair last December when he read her diaries and the couple vowed to stay together after she promised to stop having sex with the comic.
But Halderman went crazy after he spotted Letterman and Birkitt making out in the drive-way of the home they shared in Norwalk, Conn.
This week, his friend Dr. Bob Arnot revealed on Good Morning America: “He sees the two of them in a very passionate embrace – he is beside himself. "He really believed that he was being played, that Joe is the ‘back-up guy’ and at that point he just got enraged."
Sources claim that the producer was driven out of revenge more than extorting money in that he wanted to make Letterman’s life miserable.
On September 9, Halderman reportedly handed Letterman’s limo driver a package at 6am containing a screenplay outline about a philandering talk-show host and excerpts from Birkitt’s diaries about sex with Letterman.
According to sources, Halderman wanted to hear back from Letterman by 8am that same day. At 8.30am, Halderman attended a memorial service for CBS giant Walter Cronkite.
On October 1, Letterman went public about the blackmail plot and that he had had sex with multiple female co-workers.
He then went public once again on October 5 admitting that Lasko had been horribly hurt by his behavior and that the affairs were now in the past.
It’s understood that his confession came at his wife’s insistence and that it wasn’t something he really wanted to do.
Foxnews.com reported that Lasko demanded that Letterman went over with her what he was going to say on The Late Show but that she wasn’t pleased with the way his humor lessened the sincerity of his apology.
It remains to be seen if Letterman will survive the continuing fall-out from the blackmail scandal which could spiral out of control forcing CBS to take action.

BOLD. Bold I tell you. They both were. So many questions. Not enough answers.
*Why get married to the old maid, if you knew you were screwing your younger co-worker?
*Why screw your co-worker if you know both you and him have someone at home?
*Did she think she meant something special, considering his wife would reap much more benefits than she ever could?
*Was she happy with making some extra money on the side, thinking her marashmellows would make Dave's hot white chocolate better, by being with her?
*Did she think she could convince him to marry her and leave his wife?
*Honey if he didnt care about you, to not marry his wife, then he isnt going to leave that same wife and marry you're ugly azz.
I guess Dave likes music from the 60's too.
There is a famous song that goes, "If you want to happy for the rest of your life, not make a pretty woman you're wife. So from my personal point of view, get an ugly woman to marry you."
His wife and mistress are both uber ugly.
this article is hilarious in so many ways. only a fool would let another woman come on vacay with them and only a fool would remain a girlfriend for 23 yrs. men do these things because women allow it
^
you know. i bet she thought she 'won' too over other women dave might have been involved with at the height of their relationship. women kill me sticking by men who just keep them around for convenience. after 23 three years of being his girlfriend, old man was like 'what the heck' threw his hands up in the air and thought 'might as well marry her'
and what kind of darg on fool would let her man bring another woman on a family vacation and not question what's wrong with that picture. you mean to tell me a lightbulb didn't go off in her head? i would have been like, what is this biatch doing on vaca with us? dave is a pimp for real
Dave only came clean about this crap, because he was being blackmailed and didn't wanna pay off anybody....now it's become like a soap opera. Who cares? this will blow over and he'll still be rich. YT can do whatever they want and be forgiven, unless you're mel gibson and attack the jews.
dead @ taking your jump off on family trips
dead @ the wife not suspecting anything
dead @ the wife also being a former employee and probably a former jump off as well
hell she was dumb enough to date him for 23 years without a ring and a solid commitment so you know another chic on a family trip with them just flew right over her head.
after two years, and you ain't ready for marriage, i'm gone.
men are pigs. i have no faith in men anymore. their all a bunch of selfish pricks whose sole purpose is to screw as many attractive women as they can, white, black, spanish, you name it.
If your going to be a hoe why even get married? Just stay single and leave marriage to the ones who actually take it serious.
Am I the only one astounded by the fact that the "lid was blown off" this whole fiasco because a GROWN woman was keeping a diary of her sexual exploits??? WHO DOES THAT? What happened to memory? Hello!!! Just remember the sh*t! You ain't in junior high...what you writing it down for? WTF?
dead @ 3:59 i agree lol
