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.

Looks like you dropped a couple zeroes there. Each one cost him $3,000. Can't imagine how good they need to be to make that worth it.

I thought Roy Rogers real name was Leonard. But if it was Leslie he didn’t even like it. By the way whats with the name Lindsey? I think we all know.

“CBS paid actress Eliza Dushku $9.5M after ‘Bull’ star Michael Weatherly’s sexual comments”

Weatherly forgot he was no longer playing Tony on NCIS.

He lost $120 million plus another $65 million he would have gotten.
Total lost was $185 million for a BJ

He had the actress in question contacted 20 some years later and promised her a job and offered some low wage walk on then upped it to I think $7,000 for 1 episode of a tv show and he strung her along for 6 months and never even delivered that.

Has the man even had one moment of due process? Just curious.

Due process? For what? This is a private contractual matter between an employer and employee. If he wants to sue, he can, but I suspect he won't.

So can you get fired just because someone accuses you of something? Is that all it takes or is there any evidence required?

If someone corners you into proving there is a God - tell them this: Leslie Moonves won't get a dime of his $120 million severance pay. That's proof.

New York is an "At Will" state, so yes, a private employer can fire you for any reason at any time, or no reason at all, unless doing so breaks some other law.
