Neil deGrasse Tyson Doesn’t Want to Talk About Those Allegations: ‘You’re Not the Investigator’

The famed astrophysicist sat down with Marlow Stern to discuss the coronavirus, his divisive Twitter presence, and the sexual-misconduct allegations against him.


or decades, Neil deGrasse Tyson has cultivated an image of himself as a lovable, culturally-fluent dork—Bill Nye the Science Guy-meets-Sinbad for Gen Y. Following his tenure in the George W. Bush administration, the astrophysicist penned a number of essays and bestselling books; hosted popular podcasts and television shows; and followed in his idol Carl Sagan’s footsteps as the host of Cosmos, a docuseries exploring the many mysteries of the universe. Impressionable youths ate up his amusing appearances on virtually every late-night program, from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to Conan and Maddow, as well as his tweetstorms debunking the science of Hollywood movies. He was not only the most recognizable scientist in America but a breath of fresh air, and a living example of science being, well, fun.   

Then, in late 2018, a number of disturbing allegations came to light against Tyson. Thchiya Amet El Maat accused him of drugging and raping her while the two were grad students at the University of Texas in the ‘80s (she’d spoken publicly about her story since 2014, though it had largely fallen on deaf ears). Katelyn Allers, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at Bucknell, claimed that Tyson touched her inappropriatel y at an event in 2009. Ashley Watson, Tyson’s assistant on Cosmos, said Tyson made inappropriate sexual advances toward her during production in 2018, including putting his hands on her shoulders and saying he wanted to hug her but if he did he’d “just want more” (she reported the incident and resigned from her post). A fourth anonymous woman came forward alleging that Tyson had made inappropriate comments to her at a party in 2010.
