With Leslie Moonves scandal, Hollywood adjusts to a new sound: Silence

But activists said that waiting was a mistake.
“This is a vulnerable moment — a moment when Les Moonves is still in power and the CBS board is keeping him in power,” Shaunna Thomas, executive director of women’s organization UltraViolet, told The Post. “This is when everyone who can speak out should speak out.”
Thomas said she remains unconvinced that the operating dynamic on Moonves was simple of an industry wary of passing premature judgment.
“There’s something to the theory that he’s just more powerful than the other guys,” she said.

Bill Shine White House Appointment Sparks Social Media Protests

Meanwhile, women’s organization UltraViolet issued a statement, saying “For years, Bill Shine actively covered up Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly’s sexual misconduct at Fox News, created and fostered a toxic work environment at the network, and actively retaliated against women who reported their abuse.
“While certainly disturbing, Fox News’ Bill Shine is an unsurprising pick for the Trump White House. Since taking office, the Trump administration has been a revolving door of abusers of women and their enablers—and Shine is just the latest perpetrator to be added to those ranks.”
