Illeana Douglas details her Les Moonves sexual misconduct allegations on The View
-
Douglas described an encounter with the then-CBS boss in his office while she was cast on the CBS sitcom Queens. "He started asking me a lot of personal questions and I was stumbling and fumbling and not really knowing what to say,” Douglas told The View co-hosts. “And that, of course, led to him, you know, jumping on top of me and putting his tongue down my throat and pinning me down on the couch.” Douglas said she didn't report Moonves because she thought of him "as a father figure." She was soon fired from the show for "poor performance."
