Keep An Eye Out For CBS Abuser

January 11, 2018 Blind Gossip

SOLVED!

[Naughty Gossip] Ronan Farrow and The New York Times are both working on a MASSIVE new sexual abuser story!

They are both calling sources and employees at CBS to break the story on one of the biggest names.

The person they are investigating is as big as Harvey Weinstein!

This is going to shock the industry!!!

BG Note: CBS is a huge company, so this blind item could involve someone from any number of companies, including Viacom, Nickelodeon, The CW, CBS Television, CBS Radio, CBS Sports, Paramount Television, Simon & Schuster, or Showtime. 

Similar: Glug Glug Sniff Sniff

Abuser:

[Optional] Did you know that CBS once owned The New York Yankees?

SOLVED!

Abuser: Les Moonves, CEO of CBS.

Les Moonves, CEO of CBS, is going down in a heap of scandal!

Moonves is being accused of having harassed female employees for decades.

See His Victims Will Be Over The Moon for all the details.

Les Moonves doesn’t just work for CBS. He runs CBS. Moonves is worth over $300 million, so he should be able to pay his legal bills.

Moonves’ wife, Julie Chen, works for CBS on multiple TV shows, including The Talk and Big Brother.

While multiple outlets began researching the story early this year, Ronan Farrow is publishing his story first in The New Yorker. That story will be out today. The New York Times piece likely won’t be far behind.

Congratulations to Nacholibre for being first with the correct response!

      That was my first thought, too.

      January 12, 2018 at 3:17 pm

      This! He needs to be brought down. How is he still employed?

    • NoseyNana2008 says

      January 12, 2018 at 4:27 pm

      Amen. I believe he’s the one who pushed Amanda Bynes over the edge.

    Please be Dan Schneider.

  7. saucykitty says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:02 pm

    I know he doesn’t work there anymore, but PLEASE NOT DAN RATHER.

    That’s all I got. I don’t watch network television, per se, so I’m not even sure who all is on CBS now.

  8. More_Cowbell says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:04 pm

    The “similar” is about a talk show host. I’m going to guess it’s Letterman, since the blind item doesn’t say he still works there.

    • gossiplady says

      January 12, 2018 at 11:05 am

      Also the “Keep an Eye Out.” He created iCarly on Nick.

  9. janemare says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:06 pm

    First guess Les Moonves, if I had a second guess it would be Mark Burnett.

  10. Booboogirl says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:09 pm

    Les moonves, only because he is as powerful as harvey

  11. KCeagle says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:16 pm

    Leslie Moonves ?
    – or –
    Sumner Redstone – probably not him, he’s older than Egypt, yet just as powerful

    Omg… this is going to be a shock bomb of seismic proportion whoever it is. Sorry, but time’s up. btw, I didn’t know they owned the Yankees.

  12. Vampira says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:18 pm

    I hope this is Dan Schneider & Nickelodeon

  13. blackmountainbones says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:25 pm

    please be dan schneider

  14. Marybel says

    January 11, 2018 at 2:30 pm

    Oh I hope it’s Dan Rather

    • Jaqaranda says

      January 13, 2018 at 12:46 pm

      It’s been 12 years since he left CBS. This sounds like it’s about someone who currently works there.

  15. Sea206 says

    Nickelodeon I’d Dan Schneider, he needs to be exposed, but that is a lot of networks so I’m not sure.

    No I didn’t, I need to brush up on my history

  20. buttersmom says

      And hopefully disappear from our tv screens forever.

    • CharpBunny says

      January 12, 2018 at 4:43 pm

      That’ll sure be an interesting ‘hot topic’ segment for her and the ladies of The Talk.

  23. viola45 says

    January 11, 2018 at 3:48 pm

    Dan Schneider

    Finally.

    • Deusex says

      January 13, 2018 at 7:43 pm

      CBS and Viacom are different companies.

      Unlike Harvey not sure there have ever been rumors about Moonves but it could be someone from news, gameshows, talkshows, or CBS dramas so a wide slate to draw from.

      Dan’s day must come although it’s possible those who he has ‘helped’ don’t want to complain.

  24. dolls4marybeth says

    January 11, 2018 at 3:49 pm

    Les Moonves

  25. angelface123ish says

    so ready for dan schneider to be exposed!!

  27. Waspajuju says

    January 11, 2018 at 4:12 pm

    I’m going Les Moonves on this one. We have all known about him for years.

  28. fotobandi says

    January 11, 2018 at 4:12 pm

    Based on the word MASSIVE and that the “person is as [BIG] as Harvey Weinstein”, I’m gonna say Robert Bakish, Viacom CEO. Who I didn’t know existed until I googled “large person at Viacom”. He is massive and as “big” as Harvey! Literally

  29. Synapse3 says

    January 11, 2018 at 4:13 pm

    Letterman.

  30. Neduardo says

    January 11, 2018 at 4:50 pm

    Please tell me this is Dan Schneider the pedophile producer from Nickelodeon. That monster has to be jailed!

    I just hope Stephen Colbert is clean, it would break my heart if he turned out to be scum.

  34. mjwnoz says

    January 11, 2018 at 4:58 pm

    Les Moonves!!

    Dan Schneider, it can’t come soon enough!

  36. amagod121 says

    January 11, 2018 at 5:19 pm

    Abuser: My guess (and ONLY an uneducated guess) is Les Moonves (CEO, Chairman.)

    Nope, surely didn’t. Should have held onto that franchise!

  37. drunkenmummy says

    January 11, 2018 at 5:45 pm

    As much as I hate to say this, Bob Iger, based solely on how I’m interpreting the blind. Very large company that isn’t already listed in the blind, sports reference brings to mind ESPN, which is owned by Disney.

    I’d really like it to be wrong, though.

    • lovefifteen says

      January 12, 2018 at 1:03 pm

      I have good news for you. You’re wrong! This is about someone at a company owned by CBS, not Disney.

  38. katielou says

    January 11, 2018 at 5:48 pm

    Dan Schneider hopefully.

  39. brightasthedrivensnow says

    January 11, 2018 at 5:49 pm

    I hope with all of my screaming for justice heart that this is Dan Schneider.

  40. Callimingo08 says

    January 11, 2018 at 5:58 pm

    Dan Rather? Aw man I hope not

  41. lovefifteen says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:27 pm

    Could this be anyone other than Les Moonves? Who else at CBS is bigger than Weinstein?

  42. KatarinaJ says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:30 pm

    Les Moonves.

  43. bertwheeler says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:30 pm

    Les Moonves
    Yes, and those were their worst years.

  44. EvaDiva says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:43 pm

    PLEASE be Les Moonves!! His wife is so sickening.

  45. flemiel says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:50 pm

    Dan Schneider from Nick. I can’t wait till he’s exposed.

  46. aaaHnon says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:56 pm

    Les Moonves

  47. kerryk says

    January 11, 2018 at 6:59 pm

    Leslie Moonves. HARDLY a shock. His antics are legendary .

  48. GossipGirlXoXo2 says

    January 11, 2018 at 7:07 pm

    Maybe it’s about Dan Schneider, the creator of all those Nickelodeon shows

  49. badgerette85 says

    January 11, 2018 at 8:06 pm

    Have no idea, but wonder if it is one of the late night talk show hosts.

  50. flavri says

    January 11, 2018 at 8:31 pm

    Dan Schneider of Nickelodeon.

  51. Vinnie says

    January 11, 2018 at 8:37 pm

    Producer from Nick- finally!!

  52. Gossimer says

    January 11, 2018 at 8:38 pm

    I’m not totally sure but I’m hoping it’s Dan Schneider. Nickelodeon is mentioned in the article, and he deserves to be taken down. Could be any number of people though, the entire industry is riddled with creeps.

  53. sfgirl42 says

    January 11, 2018 at 8:46 pm

    He is not working there now, but David Letterman? There were accusations of sexual harassment in 2009 – so maybe there is a lot more there . . . however, I can’t say it would be particularly shocking.

    • CanaryCry says

      January 12, 2018 at 4:27 pm

    January 11, 2018 at 9:46 pm

    Steven Colbert? James Corden? I have a hard time believing either one. I’d be a lot happier if this were Andy Rooney.

  56. cyanblues says

    January 11, 2018 at 9:50 pm

    Leslie Moonves
    kind of a lazy guess. i just googled “head of cbs”

  57. BadBarbie says

    January 11, 2018 at 10:22 pm

    Dan Schneider from Nickelodeon
    There is going to be a HUGE fall out with current + older talent.

  58. Maxman says

    January 12, 2018 at 3:55 am

    David Letterman?

    The related item is about late night talk show hosts, and Letterman was based in NY (NY Yankees). Plus, there was that extortion attempt many years ago.

  59. Sparrow68 says

    January 12, 2018 at 4:40 am

    You said Nickelodeon so I’m hoping Dan Schneider is getting exposed

  66. ninanicole says

    January 12, 2018 at 7:18 am

    Can it PLEASE be freaking Dan “insert creepy pedo phrase here” Schnieder already????

  67. JohnCarson says

    January 12, 2018 at 7:40 am

    Sumner Redstone

  68. MikeInSanJose says

    January 12, 2018 at 7:54 am

    Could this be the bombshell that finally takes down Dan Schneider (accused predatory Nickleodeon producer – who producer iCarly, among others).

    Keep an ‘i’ Out!!

    • radishreindeer says

      January 12, 2018 at 1:03 pm

      Was thinking/hoping the same thing. “… as big as Harvey Weinstein.” Big as in girth?

  69. Sharper_Teeth says

    January 12, 2018 at 8:32 am

    Ronan Farrow is the new and improved Chris Hansen

    • CanaryCry says

      January 12, 2018 at 4:28 pm

      FTW!!

  70. Vagabondage says

    January 12, 2018 at 9:26 am

    This is Chuck Lorre. Clues refer to The Big Bang Theory.

  71. caela94 says

    January 12, 2018 at 10:56 am

    Don’t see it as a performer so that leaves out Colbert, Letterman or sheen. Their power is equal to Weistein. I think its whoever heads sports division.

  72. caela94 says

    January 12, 2018 at 10:58 am

    Their power is not equal to Harvey.

  73. vanishingpoint says

    January 12, 2018 at 10:58 am

    “As big as harvey weinstein” refers to his status and physical size = Dan Schneider indeed.

  74. leepri says

    January 12, 2018 at 1:55 pm

    Dan Schneider
    Big and massive describing his size and influence at Nickelodeon.

  75. itstarapagain says

    January 12, 2018 at 2:33 pm

    Love Ronan. He’s a genius. Yale Law at 16. Rhodes Scholar, humanitarian awards, etc. I believe he would at least be nominated for a Pulitzer if not outright win for this series.
    Plus he appears to be fearless. If he’s exposing what we think he’s exposing, his safety may be at risk. I wish him great success. He’s the kind of person we need. And the Times willing to publish while NBC wussed out.

    • CanaryCry says

      January 12, 2018 at 4:30 pm

      I sure hope Weirdo Woody ain’t his biodad … has it really been proven that’s Frank Sinatra’s the one?

    • itstarapagain says

      January 13, 2018 at 9:53 am

      I don’t think so but if we went by looks, I’d say he’s Frank’s.

  76. junkxmas says

    January 12, 2018 at 3:26 pm

    Dan Schneider. Clue – he’s as “big” as Harvey Weinstein, referring to actual body size.

  77. CanaryCry says

    January 12, 2018 at 4:25 pm

    Connie Chung & Maury Povich?

  78. shopper1 says

    January 12, 2018 at 5:49 pm

    Ashton Kutcher
    This will be big, and so sad!

  79. Magenta3 says

    January 12, 2018 at 6:10 pm

    Dan Schneider.

  80. blindblond says

    January 12, 2018 at 6:39 pm

    Howard Stern (once employed by CBS Radio)
    Clue: “shocking” – Stern often referred to as a shock jock
    Ironically this blind is posted on Jan 12, Howard’s birthday

  81. IAmSage says

    January 12, 2018 at 7:18 pm

    I’m going to go with Dan Schneider as well.
    If I’m reading the blind’s “clues” correctly, it’s someone who “…is as big as Harvey Weinstein” (Dan Schneider is big in size, as well as big/well-known in the industry).
    Also, the Optional question (“Did you know that CBS once owned The New York Yankees?”) – I believe is a clue as well, as there was a pitcher on the Yankees in the 1960’s by the name of Dan Schneider.

  82. GidgetsMom says

    January 14, 2018 at 4:40 am

    Julie Chen & her Husband Leslie Moonves

  83. thisisc4rl says

    January 15, 2018 at 6:54 am

    Dan Schneider

    clue is ‘MASSIVE’

  84. Bheasa1 says

    January 15, 2018 at 8:14 am

    Dan Schneider. I feel the clues are alluding to someone big in size as well as being big in terms of authority. Also, as someone else mentioned, the eye for ‘i’ Carly?

  85. Somebody says

    January 16, 2018 at 4:53 pm

    The blind specifically states, The person they are investigating is as big as Harvey Weinstein!” I think that is a direct reference to the person’s physical size, and because Ace made it a point to mention all the companies under the CBS umbrella, this screams Dan Schneider. I wonder if he has a clue that his time is up.
