Deranged Rhino Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Worked for him. He's a colossal asshat of ungodly proportions. There's more to come out about his past, if they really want to expose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does CBS have the stones to offer him the choice between letting him keep what dignity and reputation he has left by walking away from the severance, or destroying him if he wants to fight for the $120,000,000 golden parachute? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'll share a Les story, without sharing the names of others involved because I don't want to talk out of school. A show I worked on for awhile was in between seasons. We were a long running, successful show that made bank for the company year in and year out. The showrunner gets a call from Les two weeks before the new season is set to begin shooting (which means we're heavily into the writing phase at that point). I was in the office, the call was on speaker because my boss was a very open person. Les says he wants my boss to fire two of the actresses on the show because they "weren't hot enough" (real story was, they rejected his advances). At this point, so many years in, the cast and crew are like family and my boss was NOT having it. One of my favorite quotes I've ever heard out here came in his retort. My boss fired back: "Les, the day I start making business decisions based on what makes your dick hard is the day you can fire me." Then hung up on him - the head of the studio and one of the most powerful men in Hollywood at the time. Les called right back to yell, my boss hung up on him again after unloading even more colorful language. Kept his job. Saved the actresses jobs (for awhile). Loved working for that person. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah But as TransGreg says "it's amazing what hides in plain site." From Spacey to that other director who I forgot and never cared about because I'm not some ***** who watches fancy films all the way to South Park making fun of Tom Cruise and Stern exposing Moonves. These guys are slime and it's more accurate to say it's a reflection of society than anything. These guys are generally psychopaths. Psychopaths make terrific businesszey's because zey/zi/zhe/zhim are cut throat. Sociopaths are even better some times because they care nothing about anyone but can be detrimental to others because they are clueless when it comes to empathy for others and create wide swath's of victims. 16 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: I'll share a Les story, without sharing the names of others involved because I don't want to talk out of school.

I'm betting the show was "The View." ? Or betting it was Everybody loves Raymond because the writing sucked and I can attribute that to you. Or CSI because you're a nerd and the ***** was as outlandish as your tinfoil stuff. ? Edited December 6, 2018 by Boyst62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the scum pond runs deep on this story....or it is pretty shallow depending on your POV. Could be rich and powerful take care of their own..party and politics be damned. I have never been a guy who says " how to defense do it".. I get their job, respect it, and expect them to fight like hell for their clients ...but I also don't subscribe to the "anything to win" mantra that the Defence team seemed to use in this case. I do think there are some ethics and boundaries even lawyers should abide by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to Epstein and his island, that might be more true than even George imagined when he wrote it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
