      Allegations of harassment at CBS and against its chairman, Les Moonves, have surfaced in the wake of the #MeToo movement. 6 women told @ronanfarrow that, between the ’80s and the late aughts, Moonves sexually harassed them: http://nyer.cm/AAYDIQ9 pic.twitter.com/4M8ysRo85l

      Moonves, she said, followed her to the door and blocked her path. He backed her up to the wall, pressing against her, with his face close to hers: http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr pic.twitter.com/Z5IjBCWYuA

      In a statement, CBS said that Moonves acknowledges trying to kiss Douglas, but that “he denies any characterization of ‘sexual assault,’ intimidation, or retaliatory action.”http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

      In the spring of 1985, Janet Jones was attempting to break into the industry as a writer. She met with Moonves, who at the time was a vice-president at Twentieth Century Fox, in his office.http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

      Moonves surprised her by asking if she wanted a glass of wine. She declined. Jones said, “he came around the corner of the table and threw himself on top of me. It was very fast.”http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

      When Moonves began trying to kiss her, Jones said that she struggled, and then shoved him away hard, yelling, “What do you think you’re doing?” He got up. “‘Well, I was hitting on you. I wanted a kiss,’” he said.http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

      When Jones got to the door, it was locked. After threatening that she would start screaming, Jones remembered Moonves walking to his desk or to a nearby bureau to unlock the door.http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

      She fled, noticing on her way out that the assistant had left. “That’s when I got really upset,” she said. “I just thought, Oh, my God. This wasn’t like a little momentary boo-boo. It was this well-thought-out thing.”http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

          During Moonves's tenure, men at CBS News accused of sexual misconduct were promoted. It isn't clear whether Moonves knew of the allegations but he has a reputation for being closely involved in management decisions.http://nyer.cm/AmLy7yr

          A fantastic and harrowing piece. Ronan Farrow has done it again. CBS sounds Mad Men like in its atmosphere and thinking. Shame on all, especially Moonves.

          Is this the worst of it? I mean trying to kiss a woman 30 years ago, and her fleeing in fear? He tried to kiss her, it was 1985. Im just saying, being terrible at hitting on someone in the 80's is sexual assault now? An insult to real sexual assault victims.
