Report: Steve Kroft Apologized To Colleagues

Steve Kroft

Married CBS “60 Minutes” newsman Steve Kroft has apologized to his fellow correspondents after lurid details of his three-year affair with an attractive lawyer became public.

The NY Post reports an embarrassed Kroft, 69, has made private, personal apologies to his co-workers, “60 Minutes” correspondents including Lesley Stahl and executive producer Jeff Fager.

It was revealed that the veteran correspondent had a series of hotel hookups with New York attorney Lisan Goines, and sent her a series of sexy texts, which left some of Kroft’s female colleagues “creeped out” and “cringing.”

While Kroft is well-known for socializing and drinking with his colleagues after hours, another source told The Post’s Leonard Greene that, privately, Kroft is dismissive about his colleague Stahl.

“He told his mistress that Lesley Stahl was deluding herself into thinking that she would be the next Barbara Walters,” the source added.

While admitting the affair, Kroft insisted, “This was a personal failure, not a professional one, and had no impact whatsoever on my job as a journalist.”
