“CBS has a white problem,” she says.
This is the key takeaway from her barn-burner of an exit interview, just published in Variety.
The former executive says she’d become convinced that the investigation into the sexual-misconduct allegations against then-CEO Leslie Moonves is not going to trigger necessary changes in how CBS operates.
She’d cooperated with investigators in good faith, she says. “In that heart-wrenching two-hour interview, I talked about a workplace fraught with systemic racism, discrimination, and sexual harassment.” When the final memo, missing vital testimony, was leaked to the media, she felt betrayed. “By sharing my experience, I hoped to shed desperately needed light on the truth that CBS, sadly, doesn’t value a diverse workplace.”
