Sharon Bialek Press Conference Hijacked By Benjy Bronk Of Howard Stern Show (VIDEO)

A writer for the Howard Stern Show seized control of a podium intended for use by high-profile attorney Gloria Allred and her client on Monday, effectively hijacking a highly anticipated press conference meant to announce the latest developments in an ever-developing story about alleged sexual harassment committed by GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain in the 1990s.

While reporters waited for Allred and her client, who would later be revealed as Sharon Bialek, Benjy Bronk of the Howard Stern Show bantered with reporters, promoted for an up-and-coming artist, and repeated the name of one of his colleague's sons.

As the intended participants of the press conference got closer to taking the stage, Bronk left the podium, asking reporters if they wanted him to leave or stay. They didn't appear to have a strong opinion one way or the other.

The Associated Press reports on the scene that followed:

Leaving little to the imagination, a Chicago-area woman on Monday accused Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain of making a crude sexual advance more than a decade ago when she was seeking his help finding a job.

"Come clean," Sharon Bialek challenged Cain at a news conference in New York at which she described herself as "a face and a voice" to support other accusers who have so far remained anonymous.

Cain's campaign swiftly denied Bialek's account. "All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false," it said in a written statement.

Bialek is the fourth woman to allege that Cain exhibited inappropriate sexual behavior while serving as head of the National Restaurant Association, and the first one to come forward publicly.

Let's hope Benjy shows up at Cain's next press conference with a few "questions."

I gotta say I've got reservations about Ms. Bialek. She didn't press any charges back then? (Of course, it would have been her word against his as there were no witnesses.) She only comes forward now when she can get good face time on TV? Just a little suspicious. And to choose Gloria Allred as her attorney? Again, suspicious. You know, things add up....both ways. Let's see how this plays out. Sitting on the fence on this one. One week in the public eye will change it all.

Public say that Cain forgot to ask the public to come up with any knowledge of sexual activities committed by Rick Perry and Mitt Romney for the information of the entire countries.

I would say it is the duty of all citizen to share such vital knowledge for the betterment of the nation.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it makes you appear to comment on someone else's 'fans' or lack of same? Really? Did you win some 81 fan prize or something? It is too absurd to even contemplate how someone can be so wrapped up in the idea of having Huffington Post 'fans' that it gives you some feeling of legitimacy that you have a few more than someone else. Maybe if you actually did something important with your life, your HP 'fan base' wouldn't be such a big deal to you. I'm going to fan that person just because of your absurd comment.
