9/13 BB20 Thursday Live Double Eviction Episode Discussion

Yes, I agree.. 

It is an offense in some states to not report a crime. I chose California law as a guide because many of the crimes committed by Moonves happened in California. Where I live you definitely go to jail for either not reporting a crime or helping to conceal it in some way or stating to investigators you have no knowledge when you do. My stalkers friend spent time in jail for failing to report he knew my stalker was committing a crime and for stating he had no knowledge of the crime(s). www.wklaw.com/knowing-about-a-crime-and-not-saying-anything/

Julie Chen is not a victim. She is not haunted by nightmares, flashbacks and her career has not been derailed. In fact, she sleeps comfortably beside the beast whose actions created those nightmares, flashbacks and career derailments for all of his victims.

To openly question Julie Chens moral compass, to deride her if she knew but chose to remain silent, is not a case of rushing to turn her into a villain. It is an important conversation about culpability and complicity through silence. 11 months ago it was a different world. Silence was what drove the behavior, what protected it, guarded it and allowed it to flourish. Not just in entertainment, but in every facet of life. For thousands of years.
Julie Chen did not have to physically hold down any of Les Moonves victims to be a participant in his crimes. All she had to do was keep her mouth shut. Because her silence, like the silence of so many before her, is as criminal and morally repugnant as the actual physical acts.
Some say "rush to judgement." I say "What the hell took so long?"
Again, Julie Chen is not a victim, And it's about time people are finally able to talk openly about those who stay silent while the beast hunts.
Evil triumphs when good people stand by and do nothing.

ETA: Chen opened the door for people to question her when she gave a shout out to her husband. It's not like Moonves DIDN"T DO what he is accused of doing. There is enough evidence to back the statements made by victims. 
Sure , Chen is likeable , but being likeable isn't immunization against making bad choices.

I was sad to see Brett go. I would rather it had been Sam, honestly. She and this game do not get along and so keeping her around doesn't seem right. Brett did more the alliance (even though he was talking about splitting it up, that wasn't until the very end). Oh well, DE night is always a stressful night for me (and I'm not even playing the game).
Looks like things are going to speed up now, which is good.

The atmosphere at CBS has long been ne filled with sexual harassment-it was an open secret in the industry. Not that any other industry can claim it's treated women with dignity and respect. However, CBS, under Les Moonves, became even more over the top with Moonves and others grabbing women, forcing themselves on them, demanding sex, unzipping their flies and taking out 'mr.happy.' Moonves was known to greet potential female employees in his bathrobe. 
This was chronicled in great detail, with sources by Pulitzer prize winning journalist Rowan Farrow. Moonves behavior, including sexual assault, spans decades-and Chen was there when it was going on. As his employee and wife she would have knowledge of  her husbands behavior, because again, the culture at CBs was not secretive-and Moonves himself was not behaving this way behind closed doors. He wasn't hiding it because, as a man in a position of great power, who would challenge him? Certainly not the women he demeaned. I think you are confusing him with a predator who behaves in secret, hiding his repugnqant behavior from a wife and friends out of shame. The last thing Moonvees feels is shame or guilt. He was open about all of it and has so little respect for women  he probably enjoyed Chen being aware of his treatment of women. 
The question isn't how could she know? It's How could she not know. Because everyone else at CBS either saw directly or heard about it.
When she signed off as Julie Chen-Moonves it was a shot across the bow towards the women her husband victimized. It was a giant middle finger to them. She was probably triggered by a second report, recently released, that details the experiences of six women. What makes Chens sign off so tone deaf is that it comes across as just gross, for lack of a better word. 
Again, Chen would have to be living in a Siberian salt mine in order to have no clue of her husbands horrible behavior.
