Leslie Moonves Accused of Sexual Misconduct in Ronan Farrow Exposé
Hollywood Reporter ^

Posted on 07/27/2018 9:41:08 AM PDT by springwater13

The CBS CEO, one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, is accused of unwanted kissing and touching in a New Yorker article set to be published Friday.

The New Yorker is poised to publish an article by Ronan Farrow that includes allegations of sexual misconduct on the part of embattled CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

A spokesperson for The New Yorker says, “We don't comment on pieces we haven't published." Sources with knowledge of the article say it delves into the broader culture at CBS and will publish later today on the magazine’s website.

CBS said in a statement that it is investigating the claims made against Moonves. “All allegations of personal misconduct are to be taken seriously," the network stated. "The Independent Directors of CBS have committed to investigating claims that violate the Company’s clear policies in that regard. Upon the conclusion of that investigation, which involves recently reported allegations that go back several decades, the Board will promptly review the findings and take appropriate action.”

Julie Chen’s husband.

For those who don’t know Julie Chen, she is the host of Big Brother, a CBS journalist, and also the co-host of CBS’s The Talk.

Mr. Farrow has made it clear that he hates Woody Allen, the man said to be his father. But why does he have this peculiar need to investigate and ruin successful Jewish men?

Maybe IVANKA TRUMP could replace him.

That would make LIBERAL HEADS explode (as well as others).

CBS stock is tanking. Sucks to be them. Two views.

“All allegations of personal misconduct are to be taken seriously”

Apparently what they don’t take seriously is ‘innocent until proven guilty’ beyond a reasonable doubt.

Rush Limbaugh often says the left’s mantra is “Who needs evidence.. it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters.”

The answer probably lies in that old chestnut about how many Jews there actually are in showbiz. Laws of statistical probability.

Personally, I’m getting more than a little tired of hearing who kissed whom and who tried to kiss whom.

Knee him in the balls and walk away, but quit crying about it.

Maybe these men are or having been helpful to Woody Allen in the past. Ronan is going to burn his bridges before much more time passes.

I tried to find some sympathy for him, but was not successful.

WIKI----Moonves is a great-nephew of Paula Ben-Gurion, wife of David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel.[30][31] He practices Transcendental Meditation, and has said, "It puts me in a calm state, which I'm not always in."[32] In 1978, Moonves married Nancy Wiesenfeld (m. December 17, 1978, div. 2004), with whom he has three children.[33][34][35][36]

In April 2003, Nancy Moonves filed for divorce in L.A. Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. Nancy and Les Moonves were already living apart.[37] In 2004, although his divorce from Nancy was not yet finalized, Les Moonves began dating CBS' The Early Show reporter Julie Chen.[38]On December 10, 2004, Moonves got a court to grant an early divorce.[39]

Tired of waiting, Moonves' motion cited a "desire to return to the status of being single". Thirteen days later in Mexico, he married Chen.[38] On September 24, 2009, Chen gave birth to a son, Charlie Moonves.[40] Moonves resides in Beverly Hills, California, in a house he bought from Andy Heyward.[41] He also owns residences in New York City and Malibu.[42]

Chen and Moonves.
