Venus is inspiring all sorts of memes with this video. What happened to Berdych and Kokkinakis is exactly why I ask what happened to the ATP and WTA Media training? Most hacks happened because of weak passwords or the very unfortunate action of clicking on an infected link, usually, a link sent unwittingly by a someone in the person's own list of contacts. Media training can help (if not entirely prevent) these unfortunate incidents. Also help players to protect themselves from online abuse and harassment, maybe even raise the issue with the social media companies about ways to help in the process (also, the ITF may want to stop making sponsorships with betting companies, but that's a whole entire conversation).

Oh, boo. Okay, thanks for clarifying that. I had a feeling that was too quick but that's what I get for looking at the subtweets.

Even in the midst of a hurricane, racists don't take a day off. At least someone alerted The Coast Guard and I read he was dishonorably discharged. Trump has definitely emboldened these jackasses.

To be honest, this ET article featuring Jane Fonda's remarks on Moonves aren't all that insightful but it's interesting because I remember reading (and posting) that Fonda's best selling workout videos were produced by Lorimar, the company that Moonves was CEO at before ascending the ranks at Warner Brothers (which incorporated Lorimar) and then CBS. Then again, it seems as though Fonda might have had little to no direct encounters with the man. Jane Fonda on Leslie Moonves’ Ouster: ‘This Is Only the Beginning’

I never thought it was her, lol.

Do folks still believe she's staying on CBS? That sounds like a sign off from someone that doesn't see their future at CBS.

Julia Salazar won her primary, lol. Whew, she had a messy campaign season!

I came across this episode in which the recently departed Susan Brown was featured as part of the cast.

Many of these men were also board appointees that were installed by Moonves himself.

I've decided to no longer speculate about the identity of the actress because I feel as if there are details that may not be completely accurate, either through confusion as the story has been passed along over decades or deliberately so as to conceal the identity of the actress. Either way, I feel as though this narrative is very convoluted, either deliberately or in the gradual retelling over several years. So according to the NYT article: Threats and Deception, Moonves informed legal counsel looking into the allegations on behalf of the board that there "might have been a few incidents before he came to CBS." Well, Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb was from Lorimar. I wonder how many other "incidents" happened while he was there?

No problem. I don't think it's sidetracking the conversation at all. In fact, it draws into sharp relief Moonves' career trajectory on how these production studio outfits work. They are rarely relegated to one network.

Another interesting fact, Lorimar produced those best-selling Jane Fonda videos.

According to Wikipedia, Lorimar produced Dallas, Knots Landing and Falcon Crest. I don't think Moonves arrived at Lorimar until the mid 80s though. By the way, Lorimar became a subsidiary of Warner Brothers in the early/mid 90s and Moonves ran the television division.

Hunter was produced by Lorimar, which is where Moonves was president before he went to CBS. Lorimar also produced Full House, which was on ABC. Moonves greenlit Full House.

I'm not 100% sure it's Kramer (how can anyone be, with the list of wronged women in the Moonves universe?) but doesn't it seem like she disappeared? It's easy to forget but the show was pretty big in its day and Kramer was a star back then (I hate to use the word sex symbol) on a highly rated primetime show. Back when you could actually have a hit primetime show on a Saturday night. The fact that there are so many bonafide candidates for the victim's identity just speaks to how profligate Moonves is. The fact that he's been at it since the beginning of his career as an executive is truly abhorrent.

I mentioned Kramer previously in this thread when I read that article in The New Yorker last month. Someone posted that article in this thread about a month ago. Any way you put it, policewoman or detective Kramer literally played both on Hunter. And the show was produced by Lorimar, I believe. No matter who the victim was, Moonves was/is a disgusting person.

But Murder She Wrote also had at least three subsequent T.V. movies that ran into the early '00s.

This is adorable.

Technically Angela Landsbury's character was not a detective. She was a writer who also happened to solve mysteries. I still think it was Stepfanie Kramer. She was a police detective who wore plainclothes for most of the series.
