The actress Illeana Douglas was introduced to Moonves in 1996. They met at his office to discuss a script, and he asked to kiss her: nyer.cm/AmLy7yr
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: nyer.cm/AmLy7yr
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.” 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. 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.” 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. 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. 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.” nyer.cm/AmLy7yr
CBS said that Moonves has no recollection of the interactions with Jones. nyer.cm/AmLy7yr
30 current and former employees of CBS told @ronanfarrow that misconduct extended from Moonves to important parts of the corporation, including CBS News and “60 Minutes,” one of the network’s most esteemed programs. 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. nyer.cm/AmLy7yr
