The CBS board of directors opted not to vote on suspending embattled CEOLeslie “Les” Moonves,according toVariety.
The board concluded that they would not vote on the potential suspension and that they would push back the CBS yearly meeting, which was supposed to be held on Aug. 10, according toVariety.
Varietyadded that a source familiar with the proceedings said that the board would most probably vote on Moonves’ position in the company if more women make claims against him.
Julie Chen, who wed Moonves in 2004, has spoken out twice in his defense. Chen, 48, and Moonves, 68, share son Charlie, 8.
On Friday, theBig Brotherhostposted on Twitter, “I have known my husband, Leslie Moonves, since the late ’90s, and I have been married to him for almost 14 years. Leslie is a good man and a 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.”
