Chen Moonves says she ‘felt betrayed’ when Remini, a close friend, asked CBS to drop her from the talk show.
In her new audio memoir, But First, God, CBS star Julie Chen Moonves delves into her falling-out with Leah Remini during the first season of The Talk.
And as Chen Moonves says in the memoir, the cast shakeup happened while she was on vacation. “A couple of my co-hosts, while I was away, went to the network and said, ‘We can’t work with Julie anymore. She’s too uptight. She’s not one of us. If she stays, we go.’ And they ended up leaving, and I ended up staying,” she recalls, per Us Weekly.
After devoting herself to Christianity, however, Chen Moonves happened to see Remini’s husband at a party and asked for the King of Queens alum’s phone number. “I called her, she answered,” Chen Moonves says. “We laughed. We buried the hatchet. And today we’re probably closer than ever.”
