CBS shares fall 6 percent after Moonves accused of sexual misconduct in upcoming Ronan Farrow expose

The expose will be published in The New Yorker, CNBC has confirmed. The New Yorker article's impending publication was first reported byThe Hollywood Reporter. The entertainment news site reports the article will publish later Friday.

According to THR, the article alleges that Moonves engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior including unwanted touching and kissing that is said to have occurred 20 years ago.


Farrow won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on Harvey Weinstein and the longstanding patterns of sexual misconduct. The revelations ultimately spurred the #MeToo movement.

20 years ago?!

 

[Madmick]

I would take anything by Farrow seriously. He is a serious reporter, and he knows what he is doing.

Came here to say something similar.

Ronan Farrow is collecting scalps.

Hmm. If madmick and RP are right on the sources credibility, I'll hold my eye roll inducing comment about someone kissing a co-worker over some after hours drinks 20 years ago to see if it's something more serious

He’s married to BB host Julie Chen.

Casting couch ftw, eh? It's only a matter of time before you find one that likes it.

I am being half-facetious.

Wrong kind of response imo. This is getting carried away in the other direction, which effectively shields abusers and delegitimizes real victims. Like people have said, this reporter has a good record. He was working his ass off to improve human rights of total shitholes before most people can wipe their own butts, and that was before he was a journalist who exposed two serial abusers (Weinstein, Schneiderman).

His resume is sick. The kid is superhuman.

Even before I started following business I heard of Moonves. He is a big name that has been around forever. I had no clue who Harvey Weinstein was.

This isn't some putz on a fucking WordPress blog trying to get big doing this.

I will sit and see where this one goes.

 

[Higus]

Everytime I hear his name, I always think of that 30 Rock gag

I believe you interpreted my comment incorrectly. I was saying that everyone is accusing every fucking body of shit now. Even shit from years ago that is hardly verifiable is ruining people. Crazy times.

Usual suspects itt dismissing tweets of child diddling as witch hunts, while first bumping the guy bringing up an alleged advancement decades ago.

Sickening

I hope that in the expose the names of the people who have claimed this behaviour happened, will also be printed and not just the name of this guy.[never heard of him before.]
Too many stories have allegations from annonymous sources.

I caught a bit of Ronan on Erin Burnett's show and they read an account of an actress being raped by Moonves. Power corrupts. I think they said she was told to keep it between themselves and her career was later fucked.

The name of the rape account read on TV was Illeana Douglas. Don't know who that is, probably because she wasn't a willing participant and got blacklisted.
