CBS is 'forced to pay tens of millions of dollars to actress Bobbie Phillips after its lawyers leaked details of Les Moonves' alleged sex attack on her to The New York Times'
The network had hired two law firms - Debevoise & Plimpton and Covington & Burling - to probe Moonves after he was accused of assaulting several women
A number spoke to the lawyers in summer 2018 on the promise of confidentiality
But, just months later in December 2018, a draft report into their findings and the allegations leveled against Moonves was leaked to The New York Times
It's now been reported by Vanity Fair that that breach of confidentiality cost CBS and Covington tens of millions in a settlement paid to accuser Bobbie Phillips
