«Breaking News» Cybill Shepherd says Les Moonves cancelled her sitcom when she refused to have sex with him

Cybill Shepherd is claiming that her eponymous sitcom was cancelled by Les Moonves after she rejected his sexual advances.

In an interview on SiriusXM's The Michelle Collins Show, Shepherd told the host that her show would have run for five more seasons until she upset her boss.

'Well, he did, uh his assistant and my assistant made a dinner date and we went to it and he was, well he was telling me his wife didn't turn him on, some mistress didn't turn him on,' said Shepherd. 

'And I'm watching him drink alcohol and I'm going, he says, well, you know, why don't you let me take you home? I said, no, I've got a ride and I had my car outside with a good friend of mine who is an off duty LAPD officer.'

Shepherd said after that night the show suddenly began getting notes about what her character could and could not do and shortly after was cancelled by the network.

Globes: The show was abruptly pulled in its fourth season without airing a finale despite strong ratings and having received 12 Emmy nominations (Shepherd above at the 1996 Golden Globes)

'Yes. Um, we did a lot of jokes. It's just funny to see somebody whose quote "pretty," you know, talking with some food in their mouth, not overdoing it. It's just funny,' explained Shepherd of the show before that ill-fated dinner meeting.

'And then I got that note, don't do that anymore. Don't have Cybill talk while she's eating.'

It did not stop there either, with Shepherd saying the notes continued to come from Moonves. 

'Then it was, okay, we had done one menopause episode, then we were going to do a second one,' she revealed to Collins. 

'They said you can't use menses, menstruation, or period and I fought to say period and that ended up in Newsweek or TIime just that year. I had had to fight to say period.' 

Collins then asked: 'After this dinner date though, I want to ask you this, obviously you made it clear you weren't interested, he's married, et cetera. Uh, how soon after that then did you find that you were having issues with the series?'

Shepherd responded: 'Quite shortly.' 

Cybill ran for four seasons and was one of the most critically acclaimed sitcoms of the late 1990s.

It earned Shepherd two Golden Globes and was nominated for 12 Emmys during its run.

Shepherd was also branded as being notoriously difficult to work with during the show's run, much like many women who have now come forward to share their #MeToo stories. 

Her show was pulled abruptly in its fourth season despite strong ratings, and never had the chance to air a finale.

The cancellation was a shock to everyone, and Shepherd told Collins that despite this the cast and crew still filmed two final episodes. 

Shepherd said that she was not allowed however into the editing room to work on those last episodes.

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.
