Riggi worked as the head makeup artist for the "Charlie Rose Show" and "Charlie Rose: The Week," but also worked at various television shows and handled makeup for high-profile individuals, according to court documents.

"But, far from being an advocate for their careers, Mr. Rose treated them as sexual targets, using his power and influence to serve his personal desires," according to the lawsuit.
