‘60 MinutesÂ’ Producer Heads for the Exit

Jeff Fager, executive producer of 60 Minutes, is leaving CBS amid accusations of inappropriate touching.

But that's not the whole story: Fager was named in the recent New Yorker exposé accusing (now former) CBS chief exec Les Moonves of sexual misconduct. Six former CBS employees claimed Fager touched them in a way that made them uncomfortable, and one alleged he groped her at a work party, accusations emblematic of a broader company culture problem at CBS...

But, Fager denied that claim. According to him, CBS terminated his contract because of a "harsh" text he sent a CBS reporter covering the Moonves story.

  • CBS News said Fager "violated company policy and it is [their] commitment to uphold those policies at every level," but didn't elaborate.

Zoom out: Still unconvinced of the #MeToo movement's influence? Just take a look at CBS.
