Losing the 120 mil won't be a hardship....

And so it goes...
Good! But I am sure he walked away with some undisclosed amount.

Yeah, he's certainly not poor lol! However, I wonder if his attorneys think he has a chance at winning a law suit? They'd probably do it for a 60 Mil contingency fee!

The news said so far they've heard nothing from him regarding a lawsuit...

I'll bet Julie is against it. Filing a lawsuit would keep his dirty deeds in the headlines for years and that would make the fallout even worse than it already is for their son.

Best to keep their heads down and quietly go on with their lives, the notoriety will begin to fade ala Matt Lauer, hardly ever hear anything about him anymore. That's the best they can hope for, IMO.

I agree....fighting what's been accepted as true from 12 women only would serve to keep lives of those involved...in a mire.

I'd like to see him apologize but that's asking too much from an egoist.

True.

Besides Julie Chen still wants to continue to host “Big Brother”

They don’t need the money....net worth $800 million....

but you know these rich people....always wanting more...

They even sometimes forget they’re mortal....

Old Les turns 70 in 2019....

There is an almost 20 year age gap,

Julie Chen...born jan 6, 1970.....Moonves....born oct 6, 1949.

I don't think its a matter of the money. He's worth north of 700 million so whats 120 million more? Not like it will have a major effect on his lifestyle. Its the humiliation of having to go through this public spectacle and press feeding frenzy. It will be in the news for a bit until the next one falls. Possible issues with the wife but thats between them.

This the real reason he is gone:

In February 2005, Moonves was identified as the executive directly responsible for ordering the cancellation of UPN's Star Trek: Enterprise and the ending of the 18-year revival of the Star Trek television franchise.

Figure of speech. Comment posted spur of the moment. They definitely aren't hurting, at least right now.
