Please read the entire, fully detailed, much longer article outlining these brave voices coming forth on Leslie Moonves' abuse of power and sexual harassment reported by Ronan Farrow via The New Yorker. Only a paragraph is shared here.

Some of the former and current employees said that Moonves protected Fager, and that Fager, in turn protected men who reported to him and were accused of assault and harassment. This contributed, they said, to an atmosphere some found hostile: pic.twitter.com/MboToeaVSG

“All allegations of personal misconduct are to be taken seriously. The Independent Directors of CBS have committed to investigating claims that violate the Company’s clear policies in that regard. 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 timing of this report comes in the midst of the Company’s very public legal dispute. While that litigation process continues, the CBS management team has the full support of the independent board members. Along with that team, we will continue to focus on creating value for our shareowners.”
