On Wednesday, Soap Hub reported that Sarah Joy Brown, the actress who started her career as a Power Ranger and then created the role of Carly on General Hospital, had retired from acting.
Brown announced that news with a simple tweet on Labor Day claiming she’d left the acting biz months ago because it was clear to her that industry insiders wanted to squash her career.
Earlier this year and late last year, Brown was outspoken about the way she’d been treated in Hollywood, as were many actresses, as the #MeToo movement came to the forefront.
But on Wednesday evening, Brown started naming names in an epic tweet storm with allegations going back decades. Her main source of ire, according to her tweets, is CBS CEO Leslie Moonves.
Brown claims Moonves has spent years sabotaging her career any chance he had and also pointed out that she never even met the exec.
She went on to name Israeli-American media mogul Haim Saban as another exec who hurt her career over the years, despite being the man who gave Brown her first acting job. She also named his business partner, Shuki Levy, her ex-husband and father of her one daughter.
Nobody seemed safe from Brown’s fury, as she named former co-star Vanessa Marcil as someone who also hurt her for expressing her affection for Saban’s wife.
Brown, who also appeared on Days of Our Lives, As the World Turns, and The Bold and the Beautiful, tagged journalist Ronan Farrow in her tweets, indicating she wanted to tell her story to the press. Farrow was the reporter who broke the Harvey Weinstein story last year.
See what Brown has to say in the tweets below.
Leslie Moonves of CBS personally had me fired from Cold Case, I was told at that time by the producers. It was a job I loved. He’s been a monster toward me for years and years. Thanks for watching. ❤️ https://t.co/Mq1K0HiA9a

I was curiously fired just after I began to speaking up to my co-workers about my experience with Leslie’s friend Haim Saban and his former partner Shuki Levy. But it wasn’t the first time Leslie singled me out.

Anyone who watched ATWT’s in 2004 might remember who my character’s abuse ex-husband was named after… the one who came at Julie with a BBB… lol. It wasn’t lost on me. #ThankYouLeslie

I was told these things by Paris Barclays (Former President of The DGA) and the show creator Meridith Stiehm (Homeland)

On my 26th Birthday, I was driving to CBS to test for a new series called, “The Handeler.” For Viacom and CBS. My agent called as I was just outside the building. ‘Head of CBS/Viacom says you’re too old to play the young FBI agent, you can’t test, sorry’

Don Bellisario had told me of the original NCIS – “I wrote this role for you” I took this to mean for someone just like me, since he didn’t know me before I auditioned for it. He said “I’m gonna fight the good fight for you kid!” after Leslie said no way. He lost #ThankYouLeslie

We can see from the women who have already spoken up about Leslie to #RonanFarrow that abusive men protect each other in this town and elsewhere. How could he relate to me.

One of the grossest things I’ve ever seen on Twitter was Vanessa Macil shouting out her love for Haim Saban’s wife. Vanessa who’s known me more than 20 years and knew full well what I’d been thru. #ThankyouVanessa
