The CBS board of directors said Friday it would investigate allegations of personal misconduct against legendary CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves, based on a story in the New Yorker that states he sexually harassed six women over three decades. The CBS board announced its investigation into Moonves before the New Yorker had published its piece Friday evening. “All allegations of personal misconduct are to be taken seriously,” the company said in a statement Friday afternoon. Under Moonves, the company has launched CBS All-Access, a streaming service on which coveted shows such as “Star Trek” and “The Good Fight” primarily live. He is not the only prominent figure at CBS to face allegations of inappropriate conduct.
