CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves is accused of sexual misconduct by six women in a New Yorker exposé published Friday, the latest high-profile media figure at the center of allegations of misconduct as a result of the "Me Too" movement. Six women who previously worked with Moonves told The New Yorker's Ronan Farrow that Moonves sexually harassed them, while four described forcible touching or kissing. “What happened to me was a sexual assault, and then I was fired for not participating,” Emmy-nominated actress and writer Illeana Douglas told the publication. “There was the big sell—he was telling me, ‘You’re gonna get a house with a pool, you’re gonna love it, it’s a great life,’ ” she added, before recalling an incident with the network head in his office.
"In a millisecond, he’s got one arm over me, pinning me,” she said, describing his actions as “violently kissing.” “You sort of black out,” she added. “You think, How long is this going to go on? I was just looking at this nice picture of his family and his kids. I couldn’t get him off me.”
Douglas added that she was personally fired by Moonves from the comedy "Queens" over a later incident in which Moonves appeared at a rehearsal for the show and berated her.
CBS said in a statement to The New Yorker that Moonves "denies any characterization of 'sexual assault,' intimidation, or retaliatory action." Moonves did, however, acknowledge trying to kiss Douglas, according to the statement.

When are we going to see some posts on media reports of businesswomen engaging in sexual misconduct with coworkers or subordinates? Aren’t any men complaining? /sarc
Go back and look at the way the major media fawned over this guy, a la Harvey Weinstein. Then estimate the percentage that knew these stories but would not report them, because the access Les gave them was so good. Or maybe it was the Lakers tickets or the invites to the Aspen Institute, or...etc., etc., etc.
The “Me Too” movement, that was meant to hurt Trump, has taken out so many Democrats and liberals, you’d almost think this was a hatched in a Conservative think tank. Good Bye Les, couldn’t stand you.
The NEW Harvey Weinstein.
(BTW, 6 women who came forward just might mean 600 who do not want the public attention. More will come foreward, betcha.
At this point, we can make the assumption that all media/TV/Hollywood business executives are degenerates and perverts, and look for those few who are not.
A magazine is a mighty small place to have sex...just sayin’...
Will 60 Minutes do an exposé???
That's because when the Demonicrats accuse the Republicans of crimes and immorality, it's because they have been involved in those very activities themselves. And now, those accusations are coming back to bite the Demonicrats where the sun never shines... until now.

It’s not the “MeToo” movement, it’s the “PoundMeToo” movement. That’s how its followers write it; they should know what their symbols really mean.
It’s your turn Les.

Wasn’t good old Les part of the Dan (Fake But Accurate) Rather fiasco.
Like us all, she was more attractive when she was younger.
I've said, from the very beginning, that this movement was hatched by Donald Trump himself.
Oh my. My, my, my.
The #metoo movement is quickly dying because it is taking out too many Democrats.
But it is worth watching the left spasm over the wildfire they set that is burning them.
