New GallowayOnFilm: Les Moonves, Kevin Tsujihara and the art of Hollywood self-sabotage
Then he was fired, having made the ultimate faux pas, embezzling thousands of dollars from his employer.
Begelman was neither the first nor the last in a long line of Hollywood satraps who’ve triggered their own downfall. In the past year-and-a-half alone, we’ve seen the implosion of behemoths from producer/financier Harvey Weinstein to CBS chairman Les Moonves to Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, each brought down by a personal flaw.
Even more than Washington, Hollywood is the epicenter of do-it-yourself immolation. Just ask Charlie Sheen. Or Kevin Spacey. Or Felicity Huffman. Or Roseanne Barr. What was Moonves imagining when he took on CBS’ largest shareholder, Shari Redstone, in the misguided belief he could halt her plans to merge CBS with Viacom? Didn’t he consider he might need her when his alleged sexual harassment and abuse became public?
Some call this the arrogance of power. I’d argue the opposite: These men’s very doubts about their power contributed to their demise.
