«Breaking News» Designing Women creator says Les Moonves was a misogynistic bully who forced himself on TV star

One of the most successful women in the history of television is detailing the years of bullying she endured while working under Les Moonves.


Linda Bloodworth was coming off the massive success of her Emmy-winning show Designing Women when she met Moonves, who she claims stopped her career dead in its tracks.


It would be seven years before she worked again she writes in The Hollywood Reporter, as Moonves passed on every pilot she wrote while dialing back on the female-focused shows that had become a staple of the network.


'Thanks to Les Moonves, I can only guess they all became vaginal swabs in crime labs on CSI Amarillo,' writes Bloodowrth. 


Bloodworth also claims that one of the biggest stars in television told her Moonves forced himself on her one day after bring her to tears.


Those tears were the result of Moonves telling her she was too old for her own show says Bloodworth, who described the newly-ousted CEO's philosophy by stating: 'Why would I wanna cast ’em if I don’t wanna f*** ’em?' 


Moonves has denied having any relations with women against their will as well as ever sexually harassing any employee.

Bloodworth, who started out as a writer on the iconic series M*A*S*H*, had a $50 million deal with CBS when Moonves took over as president of the network.


Moonves was temperamental claims Bloodworth, and enjoyed screaming: 'I will tear off the top of your head and piss on your brain!' 


She had also heard he was a 'fan of topless bars' when she first met the new president at a table read for her new pilot.


Bloodworth sat across from Moonves at the table she writes, with the star of the show by her side - future-accuser Illeana Douglas.


'I had not experienced such a menacing look since Charles Manson tried to stare me down on a daily basis when I was a young reporter covering that trial,' writes Bloodworth.


'As soon as the pilot was completed, Moonves informed me that it would not be picked up. I was at the pinnacle of my career. I would not work again for seven years.'


She was in good company though, as she writes that Bette Midler was once rebuffed by Moonves when she approached him about doing a show for the network.

Bloodworth eventually left, unwilling to write the kind of show that Moonves wanted she explains, with characters that said: 'Is that a missing breast implant, lieutenant?' and 'Yes sir, we also found playing cards in her uterus.'


Her agent told Moonves the news, and after being told the network would be taking a large penalty payout, he asked the president if he had any message he should pass along to Bloodworth.


'Tell her to go f*** herself,' said Moonves. 


'The truth is, Les Moonves may never be punished in the way that he deserves. He will almost certainly never go to jail,' writes Bloodworth. 


'And he has already made hundreds of millions of dollars during his highly successful and truly immoral, bullying, misogynist reign.'


She later added: 'We don’t care anymore if you go to jail or go to hell. Just know at some point that you are leaving.' 


Bloodowrth also had a thought for the departed executive who made her life hell, saying: '[I]n spite of the fact that I was raised to be a proper Southern female, and with your acknowledgement that I have never, in my life, spoken a single cross word to you, despite the way you treated me, may I simply say, channeling my finest Julia Sugarbaker delivery: "Go f*** yourself!"'


Just like the night that the lights went out in Georgia.

Moonves may have been forced to resign as the CEO of CBS Corporation, but he is not going to be leaving the company despite the allegations of sexual assault that have been made by 13 women.


A filing submitted by CBS to the United States Securities and Exchange Committee obtained by DailyMail.com on Monday revealed that Moonves would be staying on for up to two years to help advise the company in order to ensure a smooth transition.


That filing also revealed that in his position Moonves would be given his own office and a security detail, paid for by CBS.


CBS will also place $120 million into a grantor trust that will be given to Moonves pending the outcome of two investigations into these allegations.


And the $20 million that Moonves was said to be donating to various #MeToo charities is actually coming out of the pocket of CBS Corporation.


'Mr. Moonves has agreed to perform transition advisory services for the Company for one year following his resignation (or, if earlier, until the date the Board determines the Company is entitled to terminate his employment for cause) in order to provide for a smooth transition of his duties,' reads the filing.


'In order to facilitate such transition services, the Company will provide Mr. Moonves with office services and security services for up to two years following his resignation.'


The filing also goes over Moonves' compensation package, though does not get into great detail regarding how it might be impacted by the investigations other than to note if he is cleared he will receive the full amount due to him under his contract.


'Within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, the Company will also contribute $120,000,000 to a grantor trust,' it reads.


'In the event the Board determines that the Company is entitled to terminate Mr. Moonves’s employment for cause under his employment agreement and Mr. Moonves does not demand arbitration with respect to such determination, the assets of the grantor trust will be distributed to the Company and the Company will have no further obligations to Mr. Moonves.'


Just before that the company reveals that they will cover the charitable donation.


'Within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, the Company will make contributions in the aggregate amount of $20,000,000 to one or more charitable organizations that support the #MeToo movement and equality for women in the workplace, which organizations have been designated by Mr. Moonves in consultation with the Company,' states the filing.


That line seems to contradict the statement made just one day prior by the company in a press release.


'Moonves and CBS will donate $20 million to one or more organizations that support the #MeToo movement and equality for women in the workplace,' read the release.


'The donation, which will be made immediately, has been deducted from any severance benefits that may be due Moonves following the Board’s ongoing independent investigation led by Covington & Burling and Debevoise & Plimpton.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
