Les Moonves, the once-powerful head of CBS, will not receive any severance payment in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations, CBS’s board of directors announced Monday. Moonves resigned in September after several women accused him of sexual misconduct in a pair of scathing exposes in the New Yorker. Roger Ailes received a $40 million severance package after he stepped down as head of Fox News in 2016 after his own sexual harassment scandal. CBS faced scrutiny last year after eight women accused longtime television host Charlie Rose of sexual harassment. In December 2017, he helped found the Commission on Eliminating Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, chaired by Anita Hill.
