Moonves his $120 million severance pay, as their investigation had found Moonves violated his contract. According to investigators, claims made by the women were credible and led to more claims that were found to be credible during the course of the investigation. In addition, it was claimed that Moonves attempted to interfere with the investigation. Allegations of examples include Moonves refusing to cooperate with investigators, acting "evasive and untruthful" towards investigators, deleting hundreds of messages, and passing off his son's iPad as his own to investigators.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Leslie_Moonves?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Screen_Rant_Severance_Denied-64">[64]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Leslie_Moonves?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-66">[66]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Leslie_Moonves?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-67">[67]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Leslie_Moonves?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-68">[68]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Leslie_Moonves?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-69">[69]</a> On June 21, 2019, advice columnist <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/E._Jean_Carroll?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="E.
