Four of these women claim that the harassment involved “forcible touching or kissing” while business meetings were going on, and noted that the behavior appeared to be a “practiced routine” of his.
Two of the women alleging harassment said that Moonves either threatened to hurt their careers or physically intimidated them, while all six of the women said that Moonves became hostile or cold toward them once they rebuffed his advances, and all also believe their careers were derailed as a result.
A recent report from The New Yorker says that six women who dealt with Les Moonves on a professional basis, including actress and writer Illeana Douglas, have alleged that he sexually harassed them, with all the instances occurring from the 1980s through the late 2000s.
