Dinah and her producing partner (and sister) Julie met with Moonves in the early ‘80s when he was the vice-president of development at Saul Ilson Productions.

The first anonymous source, a “prominent actress who played a police officer on a long-running CBS program,” alleged that after being wrongfully fired in the mid-‘90s, she sat for a lunch meeting in Moonves’s private office dining room. He confessed his attraction to her (which he’d done before years prior) and she rose to leave. He told her to sit down so she did.

Moonves released the following statement:
