Untrue allegations from decades ago are now being made against me that are not consistent with who I am.
Effective immediately I will no longer be Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBS.
I am deeply saddened to be leaving the company.
And I have never used my position to hinder the advancement or careers of women.
In my 40 years of work, I have never before heard of such disturbing accusations.
I recognize that there were times decades ago when I may have made some women uncomfortable by making advances.
Those were mistakes, and I regret them immensely.
