Jason Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Quote Moonves banned Jackson and Timberlake from the 2004 Grammys broadcast airing on CBS the week after the Super Bowl. But Timberlake was allowed to perform after he tearfully apologized for the incident, according to conversations Moonves had with my sources. The CBS chief executive, according to sources who spoke to me, was furious that Jackson didn’t make a similarly contrite apology to him. The fallout from the incident inflicted significant damage on Jackson’s career ― which until that point had produced 10 No. 1 hits ― and still reverberates to this day. Moonves ordered Viacom properties VH1 and MTV, and all Viacom-owned radio stations, to stop playing Jackson’s songs and music videos. The move had a huge impact on sales of her album “Damita Jo,” which was released in March 2004, just a month after the Super Bowl. A major point of controversy, particularly among Jackson’s black fans, was that the reaction to the wardrobe malfunction fell solely on Jackson’s shoulders, even though Timberlake was the one who actually pulled off the fabric to reveal her breast. While Jackson’s career was significantly damaged, Timberlake’s flourished. CBS insiders who spoke to me felt strongly that Moonves played a large part in how Jackson was perceived by the public. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/les-moonves-janet-jackson-career_us_5b919b8ce4b0511db3e0a269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Here's some victim blaming for you: That's what happens when you make music dependent on face time and radio play. Justin wanted to keep playing the game. Janet did not. Good for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Looks like his days are numbered. Quote With a new round of sexual assault allegations against Les Moonvesbeing reported by the New Yorker today, the clock is ticking even faster and more furious on the final hours of the CBS CEO’s reign and when the end soon comes it won’t be with as rich a payout.

TwinIon Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Now that he's out, I'm sure that board rooms in general and Hollywood specifically have finally been cleaned up. Certainly there aren't any more powerful, predatory men leading this country's top companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Les Moonves could make $120M if the investigations determine he was not fired for cause. If cause is not determined, he'll also stay on as an advisor for a year, a gig complete with an office and security for two years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems like a legitimately nice person based on accounts from a couple of my friends that worked with her over the years at CBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
