Cybill Shepherd said in a radio interview Thursday that she believes her eponymous 1990s sitcom “would have run another five years” — if she hadn’t declined an unwanted advance from Les Moonves, the disgraced former chairman and chief executive of CBS. Shepherd said she turned him down and, “quite shortly after,” began encountering regular pushback on Cybill, which aired on CBS from 1995 to 1998. Cybill Shepherd attends a special 40th anniversary screening of Taxi Driver during the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival at the Beacon Theatre on Thursday, April 21, 2016, in New York. Six women came forward with allegations against Moonves in a July article by Ronan Farrow in the New Yorker. On The Michelle Collins Show, Shepherd described the alleged encounter she believes led to the cancellation of Cybill.
