Harassment Files
On Friday, CBS ceo Les Moonves was accused of sexual aggression by multiple women in a New Yorker article by Ronan Farrow. Some of the allegations, such as those of actor Illeana Douglas, date back to the late 1990s.
CBS’s independent directors said in a statement on Friday that they were “committed to investigating claims that violate the company’s clear policies…. 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.”
The full CBS board already had a meeting scheduled for Monday, and will reportedly discuss whether Moonves should remain in charge while the investigation is being conducted.
