Julie Chen Exits CBS’s ‘The Talk’

Sep 18, 2018  •  Post A Comment

Julie Chen, the wife of ousted CBS Corp. Chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves, is out after nine years on the CBS daytime show “The Talk.” Chen announced her exit, which is effective immediately, in a videotaped message posted on social media.

The move was not a surprise, and follows the abrupt departure of Moonves from the company amid a rising tide of sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations.

Chen offered little in the way of explanation for her decision in her two-minute video, other than to say she needs to spend more time at home with her husband and her young son. The bulk of the clip is spent saying goodbyes and thanking the cast, crew and fans of “The Talk.”

  1. Does this mean she is also exiting as host of CBS” “Big Brother”?

  2. Good. She and her hubby need to disappear now. Unless he gets charged.

  3. When other men were charged with sexual touching, abuse, & harassment. She had a lot to say about them, now her husband Les Mooves is part of that gang. She was quick to defend him without getting the facts, now she left “the talk” & probably “big brother” not cause she wants to spend time with her husband & son, she’s ashamed of defending him now she looks stupid and can’t face the ladies of “the talk” or the public.
