As a reminder:

 

In July 2018, The New Yorker published an article by Ronan Farrow saying that six women accused Moonves of harassment and intimidation, and dozens have described abuse at CBS. Moonves was subsequently placed under investigation by the CBS board. In August 2018, Bucknell University removed references to Moonves on its website, and University of Southern California suspended Moonves' name from its Media Center.^[60] In September 2018, The New Yorker reported that six more women (in addition to the six original women reported in July) had raised accusations against Moonves, going back to the 1980s.^[61] Shortly after resigning as CEO of CBS, Moonves released a statement denying all of the sexual misconduct allegations.

 

In November 2018, The New York Times published an article in which actress Bobbie Phillips alleges that Moonves sexually assaulted her during the mid-1990s, and was attempting to bury the allegations. The next month, it was revealed Moonves had been involved in paying a $9.5 million settlement to actress Eliza Dushku, who claimed she was written out of her starring role on CBS drama Bull as retaliation for reporting sexual harassment by co-star Michael Weatherly; actress Cybill Shepherd alleged in a radio interview that Moonves cancelled her sitcom, Cybill, after she rejected his advances.

 

On December 18, 2018, CBS announced that the board would deny Moonves his $120 million severance pay, as their investigation had found Moonves violated his contract. According to investigators, claims made by the women were credible and led to more claims that were found to be credible during the course of the investigation. In addition, it was claimed that Moonves attempted to interfere with the investigation. Allegations of examples include Moonves refusing to cooperate with investigators, acting "evasive and untruthful" towards investigators, deleting hundreds of messages, and passing off his son's iPad as his own to investigators.

 

On June 21, 2019, advice columnist E. Jean Carroll wrote in a first-person essay in New York that Moonves sexually assaulted her in an elevator in the mid-1990s after she interviewed him for a story.

Who is buying that memoir?

Who gives a **** about anything she has to say?

Why couldn't she take Les' severance and sit in a damn corner with her food?

 

This is the Hollywood equivalent of Rubbernecking.

 

GMA is gross for airing it.

[Frozen99]

but... why do you need god to not be shallow, gossipy etc? like, just be a better person. 

 

"i know my husband, you know... i know my husband."  

[Frozen99]

"what do you think of #MeToo and the idea of 'believe her'?" "well i think that's getting off track But First, God" it's always the hypocrisy for me 

[Katamari]

tammy wynette would be proud 

[Jotham]

She is so vile, she never even publicly went by Moonves until after her husband's allegations came out. I'm surprised and disappointed that CBS never did anything about it.

 

I wish she was replaced by someone else as the Big Brother host, like Ika Wong.

This is what gets me.  Julie knows Les did all those things BUT:

While still married to Nancy, Moonves began dating Julie Chen, CBS' The Early Show reporter and host of the reality series Big Brother and The Talk. On December 10, 2004, Moonves got a court to grant an early divorce, on a motion citing a "desire to return to the status of being single". Thirteen days later in Mexico, he married Chen.

This. I used to like her but that was the first and last straw. It was trolling.

Les Moonves still has a lot of powerful friends at CBS/in the industry. Janet Jackson knows a thing or two about it.

[Finite]

F*ck her AND her Husband for what he did to Janet!

[Onyxmage]

Nobody gives her credit for her faithfulness to her husband. This interview was a JOKE. Julie made her choices and she has to stand by them even though she knows what her husband did. Her husbands Karma is coming.

Stand by Your Man, indeed! Hussy! 

 

[Sexyzinger]

She can shove the entire Big Brother house up her ass.

[Archetype]

She mad a mental breakdown over her husband's allegations going public and decided that "god" would be the only way for her to feel good about staying married to and supporting a rapist.  Now go do that in a corner of your husband's mansion, we don't want to know about it nor care.

PR people must be trapped in the 1950s in how they approach these scandals. I’m convinced. Drew, Ashton, Mila, and now this? How could Julie have thought any of this would come off well at all. It just made her look very unsympathetic. Telling her son that the accusations about his dad were about “their family” is just sick.

something tells me this is how big brother will go out all together

During the strikes? Are you kidding? Big Brother's not going anywhere. Julie, maybe. But again, as was mentioned, he still has a lot of allies at CBS.

[Dula Peep]

she went crazy and turned to God, a very typical story tbh

not in the immediate of course, not this season, but as weird she’s become now….she’s has always been a HUGE part of the image of the show. there’s no way in hell people will tune in with a different host, it’ll be half the audience, then 1/3, then canceled. 

[Smarticle]

Wow, money and power make people go delusional
