Les Moonves
Les Moonves, one of the most professionally powerful people in Hollywood has lost his "power."
Just like that.
Journalist Ronan Farrow's New Yorker exposé about Les's alleged sexual misconduct over the years put the Chairman and CEO of CBS in the hot seat.
And today, it was announced that Les has stepped down from his lofty position, effective immediately.
Just like that.
Of course, like all the other Hollywood power players accused of similar misdeeds, Les denies ever having used his position to coerce and/or intimidate women into sexual situations.
Of course.
Well, other than the parties involved, none of the rest of us could ever know the unabashed truth.
But...we can all imagine a man with his professional influence, using that influence to get any and
My heart goes out to his wife, Julie Chen, and his young son, Charlie. Neither of those innocent folks should be punished or taunted for the alleged misdeeds of their loved one.
What I take away from his "retirement" is that NO ONE is immune to the outrage of the many.
UPDATE on 12/17/2018: after a thorough investigation, CBS has decided NOT to pay Les a severance package because his termination was deemed for cause. Read about it HERE!
Absolutely NO ONE.
If we treat people the way we want to be treated, Les's fate won't be our own.
