The following article includes allegations of sexual assault.
Though her husband Les Moonves may be less recognizable, his reputation surely proceeds him.
Moonves did release a statement where he denied harming anyone.
Those were mistakes, and I regret them immensely," wrote Moonves.
Douglas recounted the day of the assault.
“The physicality of it was horrendous.
You sort of blackout.
You think, ‘How long is this going to go on?'”
“I couldn’t get him off me.”
Douglas was fired from a CBS show soon after.
Charges extended beyond sexual assault and misconduct and included insider trading as well.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.

“Leslie is a good man and loving father, devoted husband, and inspiring corporate leader.
He has always been a kind, decent, and moral human being.
I fully support my husband and stand behind him and his statement.”
Soon after Chen changed her name to Chen Moonves on her account.
The “Big Brother” host also used her married name when signing off on a live episode.
She said it was her way to stand up for her husband in front of the world, perDeadline.
“It was a sign of support for my husband,” she said.
“I know him.
And he is a good man.”
Chen and Moonves began dating in 2004 though he was technically still married to his first wife Nancy Wiesenfeld.
Once the divorce was final, Chen and Moonves got married later that year.
The couple shares one son, Charlie, and Moonves has three adult children from his first marriage.
