The story was originally reported by Variety‘s Ramin Setoodeh: “Wow. I just heard that @kathygriffin was at the Polo Lounge today when she saw that Les Moonves was near her. She loudly asked the waitress to move her, saying: ‘I don’t want to be seated next to a rapist,’” he tweeted.

Kathy then confirmed the news in the replies.

“I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him having the nerve to be sitting in such a high profile Hollywood restaurant. All I could think of, what if one of his victims innocently walked in , only to have to face this monster? I said ‘Leslie?’ He said ‘hi’ U know the rest!” she wrote.

“He was seated alone. I don’t know who he was meeting or if he was meeting anyone.”

CBS denied Leslie a $120 million severance package after concluding that there was merit to numerous claims of the former CEO sexually harassing women across the decades.
