MOONVES' FANS RELIEVED THAT SHE'S STILL ON THE SHOW

Moonves' fans took a sigh of relief when they found out that she would still be hosting the reality show. The fans were concerned about her departure from CBS permanently after she announced her exit from CBS' daytime talk show, "The Talk." She was later replaced by 'DWTS' judge, Carrie Ann Inaba.

MOONVES' HUSBAND FACES SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS

After a 24-year run as the Chairman and CEO of CBS, Julie Chen Moonves' husband, Les Moonves, was out of the company. The lawsuit for his removal lasted months, and a sum of $20 million was due for donations to support the #MeToo movement.

According to “Deadline,” Les was negotiating an exchange package of $100 million with the company, but the company has not given a final statement on the settlement.

Moonves stood with her husband after the allegations were filed and posted a tweet about her belief that Les was innocent. "I have known my husband, Leslie Moonves, since the mid-90s, and I have been married to him for almost 14 years," Moonves wrote on Twitter.

"Leslie is a good man and loving father, devoted husband and inspiring corporate leader. He has always been a kind, decent and moral human being. I fully support my husband and stand by him and his statement."

The allegations and other controversies surrounding the host and her husband have long since disappeared. It may be safe to assume that the new season of Big Brother will have the same Julie Chen charm to it.
