companies can do their own investigations, and judge from that the status of employment.
They are people, afterall..
But unsubstantiated claims don't really have an effect on anyones employment. These companies aren't just reading a tweet from a woman, and firing someone.

well the thing is the contract most likely doesn't have a morality clause so hes gonna get the money. I don't think people understand how contracts work and producing credits etc.
It does, but the issue lies more with the law firm handling the investigation and this point of Moonves' contract.
In essence, the shareholders can't take away responsibilities from him otherwise he can leave with a generous sum. The shareholders can't change who's in charge of the investigation otherwise Moonves leaves with a parachute. They can only push Moonves out if sexual harassment has been proven by the law firms, and even then the firms handle such a large volume of CBS' financial work that there's a real worry they might fudge the investigation to retain CBS' business.
Basically, there's a real worry that corruption will render the investigation meaningless and that Moonves will find a way to get all of his money. Hell, even the worst case scenario for the man is that he gets $50 million instead of $100 million.
Isn't this guy a giant piece of shit? I was reading that he's been trying to bury Janet Jackson for years because she didn't apologize to him personally for the superbowl mishap.

Deadline is reporting that the $100M is now off the table;
Grain of salt because Deadline doesn't bat a 1000 when it comes to corporate infighting.

User Warned: Inflammatory stereotypes
She was pressured to undergo plastic surgery to become a reporter. So, uh, can't say I feel sorry for yet another Asian female buckling under pressure to please a rich white guy.
It's really dumb how JT got no blowback despite obviously being in on the stunt.

It didn't stop in the 90s, he was sexually harassing Hotel staffers well into the 2000s. I know you're talking legally, but I want to establish that he didn't stop this behaviour decades ago, he was still at it in the 2000's at least. This is just the people willing to come forward too.
I wonder how soon the Viacom, Cbs merger is. I guess Colbert can be his old character again as soon as its official

New update on the New Yorker article:
Update: Three hours after the publication of this story, CNN reported that Moonves will step down from his position at CBS. A person familiar with the discussions said that Moonves will no longer receive any of his exit compensation, pending the results of the independent investigation into the allegations, and that a portion of the amount he would have received will be donated to organizations focussed on sexual harassment and assault.

Why would he? Isnt he nr 1? Why change it when it works?
he can use it as a bit, he can re use old segments that worked on that show
He used a "legally distinct" copy of the alter ego. He's not allowed to use the actual "Stephen Colbert", but rather the character's "identical twin cousin." IT's also why "The Late Show" can't do segments of "The Word", and why he rebranded it to "The Werd."

Ever heard the phrase - "what I eat don't make you shit"? I have no idea how something existing and you not enjoying it has any impact on your life. Get your shit in order, chill out.
User Warned: Racial Stereotyping
I understand what you're saying, but Asia and plastic surgery go hand in hand, what's the outrage exactly here?
Hm? I clearly stated that I don't have any sympathy for fake, shallow people that worship white people.
He's out!
Leslie Moonves Departs as Chairman and CEO

note that the language doesn't hinder future severance payments to Moonves
He's getting paid, they are probably going to do it quietly in a few weeks.
If the fact hes getting 0 money it means theres a video or photo evidence out there. He could have easily gotten the money if there was no actual proof outside statements
Doesn't Les still have the stocks? Those are his so hes gonna get money also he still gets residuals for everything hes considered an EP on which is 2 decades worth of CBS shit. That comes from SAG rules and what not
Disappointing about this guy but not surprising . Wonder what his wife is going through at the moment and if she even knew or didn't care.
There is a fuck up for the ages lol.
But yeah I wouldn't doubt that is who she was alluding to
Yeah totally, lol.
And this is a real quote from the first episode of season 1 of NCIS:
"NCIS? That anything like CSI?"
"Only if you're dyslexic."
This is what Les Moonves' wife said a month ago when the first news article came out
Who knows what she thinks today, now after more allegations came out.

This "letter".... read the whole thread (it also goes into the Janet Jackson thing, his wife, other CBS execs, etc)

CBS' press release states that Moonves and CBS will be donating "$20 million to one or more organizations that support the #MeToo movement and equality for women in the workplace": https://www.cbscorporation.com/cbs-...ce-disputes-and-transition-to-new-leadership/
