ms traditional · ‎03-09-2010

reports this a.m. are that preps are being made for his departure in the wake of harassment claims and ensuing investigation. $100 million package being discussed. CNBC.

If he is being forced out because he did something wrong why give him money....He and Julie are already quite rich.

I've wondered why this seemed to "go underground" and take so long, where with some others there was immediate dismissal and disgrace. Sounds like a big money play, as you suggest... good grief.

The optics look terrible. Yes,we believe you harassed all those women.We have to fire you. But here’s a $100 million to make you feel better!! Really??? How pathetic.

Another example of rewarding bad behavior.

In the “real” world, you get nothing for wrong doing.

His exit is not based on those allegations. It's based on a complex issue involving legal control of CBS.

His contract says he can actually be paid up to $180 million for an exit compensation.

However, the allegations have not been proven yet and if they are there are conditions regarding his behavior that COULD end up with Moonves receiving no exit compensation at all.

Two different issues.

I heard on the news that the shareholders do not want him paid that absurd amount of money..

The Talk returns on Monday. Julie has only briefly spoken to say that she has made a facebook post about it.

Wonder if this will affect this show? This subject the ladies will not give an opinion on because they will all of course side with Jules and Les.

There's new reporting out there that he tried to kill Janet Jackson's career after the Super Bowl debacle. Told VH1 and MTV not to play her music. Pretty nasty since she had a new album.

She made a statement on her show and said she won't speak about it again. I doubt it will be brought up...just swept under the rug.
