CBS's Les Moonves: Violent Sex Offender

Les Moonves' great uncle reads Israel's "declaration of independence".
It turns out that Les Moonves, the longtime CEO and president of CBS, has been sexually assaulting women for years. He attacks them and, if they aren't charmed an enchanted by this, he fires them.

Moonves is the great-nephew of the first Israeli prime minister, David Ben Gurion (real name Dave Grun).
 
Moonves' oddly proportioned great uncle can't sit in regular chair.

Deadline Hollywood reporting on Ronan Farrow's article in The New Yorker mentions one of several victims:
...aspiring screenwriter Janet Jones met Moonves in his office for a pitch meeting. She arrived to meet him at 20th Century Fox, briefcase in hand, wearing a pantsuit, ready to talk about her screenplay. He offered her a glass of wine and made unwanted sexual overtures.

“He came around the corner of the table and threw himself on top of me. It was very fast,” Jones told the New Yorker, saying Moonves began trying to kiss her. Jones said that she struggled, and shoved Moonves away hard, yelling, “What do you think you’re doing?” Moonves responded, “‘Well, I was hitting on you.'”

Jones recounted the experience to producer Mike Marvin, who said he confronted Moonves about his behavior. Not long afterwards, Jones said she received a threatening call from Moonves who told her, “I will ruin your career. You will never get a writing job. No one will hire you.”
