Michigan's Largest Credit Union Suspends Popular Celebrity Pitchman

Michigan’s largest credit union suspended its promotional pitchman, HGTV celebrity host Carter Oosterhouse, after he was accused of alleged sexual misconduct with a former co-worker.

The 41-year-old Oosterhouse has denied the salacious accusation that first appeared in the Hollywood Reporter last Thursday. On Friday, the $5 billion Lake Michigan Credit Union in Grand Rapids, suspended its marketing relationship with the Traverse City, Mich. native and LMCU member. He moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Central Michigan University and landed a part as a carpenter on TLC’s Trading Spaces in 2003, which launched his national career and led to his HGTV cable shows and network television appearances.
