Leslie Moonves won't get a $120 million payout
EW ^ | December 17, 2018

Posted on 12/17/2018 4:45:26 PM PST by SMGFan

No generous severance package for former CBS Corp. chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves.

The CBS board of directors announced Monday that it has completed its investigation into the myriad allegations of sexual misconduct against its former chief and has decided there are grounds to “terminate for cause.” The most recent hit against the embattled executive came last month in the New York Times, which quoted a former actress named Bobbie Phillips who alleged that Moonves forced himself on her in 1995, when he ran Warner Bros. Television.

The story came almost three months after a bombshell report in The New Yorker about six women who accused the CEO of harassment and intimidation. Moonves ultimately stepped down as CEO while the company hired a team to look into the allegations, as well as the culture at CBS.

4 bj’s a day x 250 working days per year x 40 years.

Each one cost him $30. Seems reasonable.

Moonves needs to recall all the episodes where he was sexually harassed as well.

#wetoo

If women go along with it and benfit for 20cyears and then bitch 20 years later to get a payout,

Every working man has had to take far more sh1t at work and ‘deal with it’ as NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE DAILY SH1T MEN MUST DEAL WITH OR BE FIRED, we will get our fcking payouts too.

That would be an interesting countersuit.

Who in the world would name their boy Leslie. Although nowadays it’s probably a badge of honor for the fruitcake battalion.

I guess I’m being petty about the name. Leslie for a girl is fine.

Leslie is a very old Scottish surname. Men were given-named Leslie long before women were.

One thing Charlie Sheen was right about in his drug rants: Moonves was an a-hole all along!

Phillips told the newspaper that in a meeting with the then-CBS programming executive when she was 25, Moonves told her, “Look how hard you make me,” and then exposed himself.

“Be my girlfriend and I’ll put you on any show,” Phillips recalled him saying to her.


It can’t be just this story, right? Because this story doesn’t seem enough to remove him from his severance. He sounds like a total inappropriate Royal a-hole, but this so far could have been one incident. I thought he had blow staffers etc?
