CBS Cancels Wisdom of the Crowd Following Allegations Against Jeremy Piven
He made no mention of the mounting accusations of sexual harassment he faces.
"Piven appeared to confirm the show's end in a tweet on Monday: ". sorry we don't get to continue with this great family we have created", he said in a Twitter post.
The photo included his Wisdom co-stars, Richard T. Jones, Natalia Tena, Monica Potter, Ion Overman and Blake Lee. Last month, actress Ariane Bellamar accused Piven of groping her while they were on "Entourage".
Meredith seals $1.85B deal for Time Inc
Prior to the announcement, Meredith had just $28m in cash on hand, according to its latest quarterly report . The deal is a coup for Meredith , which held unsuccessful talks to buy Time earlier this year and in 2013.
Days later, advertising executive Tiffany Bacon Scourby told People that Piven sexually assaulted her while the two were awaiting a publicist in his hotel room in NY in 2003, according to the November 9 report.
"Wisdom of the Crowd" has not been picked up for a full order. Meanor claimed Piven pinned her down at her Los Angeles home in 1995 and Taneie accused him of grabbing her breast and genitals in 2009, during the making of Entourage. The only new show on CBS to see its tenure curbed was the underperforming Me, Myself and I., which was pulled from the schedule in early November. The actor has vehemently denied the allegations and lamented the "dark times" Hollywood is entering as women come forward with their stories. "I can not speak as to why a person would create a story like this". The most recent episode had 7.8 million viewers but only a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 - that's enough to barely save some shows, but presumably not enough to justify keeping it going for CBS given the controversy.
