During a report detailing the sexual harassment allegations against international star Placido Domingo, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell was caught on a hot mic inadvertently saying, “Sounds like somebody else here.”

The report segued to a reporter reading Domingo’s statement in the face of the accusations: “Still, it is painful to hear that I may have upset anyone or made them feel uncomfortable — no matter how long ago and despite my best intentions. I believed that all of my interactions and relationships were always welcomed and consensual.” As the reporter finished reading the second sentence, O’Donnell muttered off-screen, “Sounds like somebody else here.” Then the segment cut back to her.
