Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, a leading shareholder rights
litigation firm, is investigating whether certain directors and
officers of CBS Corporation (“CBS” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CBS)
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its
shareholders. If you are a CBS shareholder, you are encouraged to
contact Haeggquist & Eck for additional information.
The New York Times revealed in a recent report that CBS
Chairman-CEO Leslie Moonves tried to buy the silence of actress
Bobbie Phillips and her manager by offering her acting work.
Phillips told the Times that Moonves physically forced her to
perform oral sex on him after he exposed himself to her, and told
her, “Be my girlfriend and I’ll put you on any show.” This incident
was a key factor in the Board’s recent decision to force Moonves
out his job.
Haeggquist & Eck is investigating whether members of CBS’s
Board made false or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose
that: (1) CBS executives, including Moonves, had engaged in
widespread workplace sexual harassment at CBS; (2) CBS’s
enforcement of its own purported policies was inadequate to prevent
the foregoing conduct; (3) this conduct, when revealed, would
foreseeably subject CBS to heightened legal liability and impede
the ability of key CBS personnel to execute the Company’s business
strategy; and (4) as a result, CBS’s public statements were
materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
