The attorney general announced that CBS and Moonves would pay $30 million, with much of the money going to CBS shareholders.
The New York attorney general’s office released a sweeping report Wednesday that detailed an elaborate cover-up at the highest levels of CBS in late 2017 and 2018 to try to contain allegations of sexual harassment by former chief Leslie Moonves.
Both sides sought to downplay the gravity of the woman’s complaint, which came as the #MeToo movement was reaching a fever pitch. CBS executives were assured by the captain that LAPD “implemented controls to prevent news of the police report from leaking to the press,” the document said. “What is most appalling is the alleged breach of trust of a victim of sexual assault, who is among the most vulnerable, by a member of the LAPD,” Moore said. “This erodes the public trust and is not reflective of our values as an organization.”
Moonves will be barred from serving as an executive or corporate officer at a public company that does business in New York for five years, unless he obtains written approval from James’ office. The Los Angeles Times in 2018 reported on the allegations of the accuser, Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb, as a key piece in CBS’ high-profile investigation into the alleged misconduct of Moonves.
A week after Golden-Gottlieb lodged her complaint, CBS executives were grappling with reports about inappropriate behavior by morning show host Charlie Rose. Moonves approved the decision to fire Rose, telling reporters that he felt that Rose needed to go. The next day, according to the report, Metrose passed along a message to Moonves from the LAPD captain, who alerted them that another police officer would be wrapping up the report on Golden-Gottlieb’s complaint the following week:"[H]owever, it’s a definite REJECT - no witnesses and/or corroborative Evidence.”
