This A- list host of multiple shows invoked God to defend the behavior of her serial sexual assaulting husband.

She just knows if she divorces him, she won’t have any money, so she won’t ever say anything bad about him.

She also doesn’t believe the dozen victims.

You might as well just call her Mila.

But First, God

Julie Chen Moonves is sharing her side of the story in her new audiobook, “But First, God”

She recently revealed, for the first time, that she discovered her faith in 2018. This revelation came in the aftermath of her husband, Les Moonves, being compelled to resign as the chairman of CBS due to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. In 2018, nine days after Les Moonves was forced out at CBS – The Talk.

“It was confusing and scary and I was at a loss. I just didn’t know what to do. I was scared about how my family was going to react to all of this. You have to understand my parents are old school immigrants. My dad is old school Chinese father — very into being upright and honorable. And it was amazing because my father was one of the people who was there for me and my husband the most. I think he was more upset than my husband and I were.

It was a job that I loved going to, it just made my heart sing. It was my job co-hosting and moderating the CBS daytime talk show called ‘The Talk.’ In short: yes, I was collateral damage. The decision to leave the show was made for me,” she claims her book, before alleging that she received a call the day before Season 9 premiered and was told “with my name and my husband’s name being in the headlines and all this chaos, two of my co-hosts called the powers at CBS and said, ‘If Julie shows up to work tomorrow, we’re not coming in.’ So, I was basically told, ‘Please don’t come back to work anymore.’

After my husband and I left our jobs, I was a ball of mixed emotions and at the top of the list I was angry, I was frustrated, I felt robbed, and I felt wronged. I felt like so many people that I loved and trusted or thought were friends… wow, they did me so dirty.

In one instance when discussing her husband Les Moonves’ dismissal, she seems to attribute the sexual assault allegations against him to Shari Redstone’s push for the merger between Viacom and CBS, a decision he had opposed.

“A movement began shortly before 2018 to try and merge CBS with a sister media company. Now, my husband was against this merger, and it was while he was working against the merger to happen that suddenly misconduct allegations against him from decades earlier arose, and that is when he and CBS came to an agreement to separate. And 11 months after he left CBS, the merger that he was against did happen.”

After the allegations, she felt attacked by the media. In the audiobook, she recalls one report that claimed she stood on a chair during a “The Talk” staff meeting and told the room, “You all make me wanna vomit.”

“Now, I’ll tell you the true story. We were in a small meeting and one of the producers wanted me and my co-hosts to go on the air and basically lie for a story that would sound very sensational and get viewers. But it wasn’t true. It wasn’t true. And I’m a journalist. I went to journalism school.

It got to the point where we went toe-to-toe and I remember saying to this person, ‘The gun is in my mouth over this. I’m not doing it. I’m not going on the air and lying’

It was basically Julie Chen character assassination time. You could say anything you wanted about me and it would go to print, and it did. And the article even said, no one else corroborated this one story. This one anonymous person said it happened. And it felt awful.”
