Julie Chen appears to stand by her husband Les Moonves, who recently exited his role as CEO of CBS following a series of sexual harassment allegations coming to light, in a clip from Thursday night’s episode of Big Brother. During her sign-off from the show, Chen said, “I’m Julie Chen Moonves, goodnight.” According to a story in Vulture, Chen does not normally use her husband’s name professionally.
Julie Chen is standing by her husband. She signed off tonight’s @CBSBigBrother, for the first time ever I believe, with: “I’m Julie Chen Moonves.”
