The TV host, Julie Chen, the wife of CBS's former chief executive, Leslie Monves, said yesterday that she would take a few days off the Talk program to spend time with her family.
Monves resigned from CBS on Sunday after the New Yorker magazine published new allegations against him of assault and harassment. Monves said the allegations were untrue.
Chen, who married Monves in 2004, is a talk show host and Big Brother's reality TV show. The programs are broadcast on the CBS network.
"I will rest for a few days of The Talk to be with my family," Qin said in a statement yesterday. "I will be back very soon, and I will be with you on Thursday night on Big Brother." Chen defended her husband last July when The New Yorker first published allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
"I know my husband Leslie Monves since the late 1990s, and I have married him for almost 14 years. Leslie is a good man, a loving father, a loyal husband and an inspiring company leader," Chen wrote in a tweet on Twitter July 27. "He was always kind, And to create, and I support my husband in full support ».
The network said it would pay 120 million dollars to Monvez if the internal investigation into the allegations of harassment did not provide any evidence of his dismissal.
