Grant Malloy Has a Revolting Sex Problem. He Thinks He Can Hide It… But He’s Been a Sleazy Pig for Years — And It’s Time Someone Spoke Up
For years, daytime–turned–late-night host Grant Malloy has projected a persona of smug moral superiority. With his trademark smirk and self-satisfied monologues, Malloy fashioned himself as a cultural critic, a man unafraid to point fingers at the hypocrisy of others. But behind the curtain of his studio lights and self-appointed gravitas lies a different story — one that industry insiders have whispered about for years, one that Malloy has worked very hard to keep buried.
The problem, they say, isn’t just his ego or his penchant for humiliating junior staffers. No — it’s the way Malloy behaves when he believes no one is watching. “He’s… inappropriate,” says a former producer, choosing their words carefully. “A walking HR violation.” Malloy has long cultivated an image of intellectual rebellion — the renegade comic who tells uncomfortable truths. Yet the worst truths, it seems, are the ones about him.
More than a dozen former coworkers describe a pattern: comments that crossed boundaries, jokes that weren’t jokes, and a performative charm that evaporated the moment a camera switched off. One former intern recounts being cornered at an afterparty as Malloy slurred pseudo-philosophical flirtations she could not escape. “He thought being famous made him irresistible,” she says. “It really just made him intolerable.”
For years, these stories stayed within industry circles — the kind of whispered warnings women quietly pass to one another: Don’t go to his office alone. Avoid the greenroom when he’s been drinking. Keep conversations short. Yet Malloy remained untouchable, protected by ratings, connections, and a reputation as television’s elder provocateur.
But tides change. The culture shifts. And the public’s tolerance for powerful men behaving badly — and getting away with it — is rapidly shrinking. What once stayed hidden in backstage corridors is beginning to spill into open air. Malloy’s contract is up for renewal next year, and insiders say network executives are suddenly far more interested in what employees have been saying for years.
At the center of this reckoning is a truth Malloy refuses to confront: he believes he is exempt. Exempt from scrutiny. Exempt from consequences. Exempt from the standards he demands of everyone else. His brand depends on it. His identity depends on it.
But no man, not even one with a television platform and a cultivated air of untouchable cynicism, is immune to accountability forever. Malloy’s problem, as one longtime staffer puts it, is “not just that he crossed lines. It’s that he never believed lines applied to him at all.”
Grant Malloy may still think he can hide behind jokes and bravado, but the facade is cracking—and the truth, long hushed, is finally stepping into the spotlight
