CBS Corporation’s board of directors is selecting outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation, it said on Monday, following allegations of personal misconduct against CEO Leslie Moonves.
Moonves is the subject of a New Yorker story detailing sexual misconduct allegations.
On Friday CBS stock fell 6% – its worst one-day loss in nearly seven years – as reports of the misconduct allegations began to circulate.

CBS stock fell further on Monday, down $2.44, or roughly 4.5%, to $51.56.
