Advanced TV Herstory spotted an important first-hand account of #MeToo Hollywood misogyny. Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams explores Linda Bloodworth-Thomason's guest column in The Hollywood Reporter, which sheds light on her creative exile. The low-profile showrunner of Designing Women, Evening Shade, and other hit series details the professional damages she suffered at the hands of CBS' Les Moonves. Moonves' role at CBS was terminated following a series of accusations of sexual harassment.

Cynthia examines Bloodworth-Thomason's claims and ponders how television might have evolved had she been allowed to continue creating for prime-time.
