Julie Chen is officially all Talk‘d out. The CBS show’s founding co-host will announce her departure on Tuesday’s show via a videotaped message, CNN reports.News of Chen’s Talk resignation comes a little more than a week after Chen’s husband Les Moonves was fired as CBS longtime CEO amid a wave of sexual misconduct allegations. As previously reported, Chen’s decision to sign off of last Thursday’s Big Brother with a not-so-subtle declaration of support for her disgraced husband made it next to impossible for her to resume her day job, though she is expected to stay on as host of the hit reality series.Moonves, CBS’ longtime CEO, was fired on Sept. 9 after a second wave of sexual misconduct allegations came to light. The next day, Chen announced that she “was taking a few days off from The Talk to be with my family,” adding, “I will be back soon and will see you Thursday night on Big Brother.” Chen did indeed return to Big Brother, but she ended the episode by telling viewers, “I’m Julie Chen Moonves. Good night.”

It would have been impossible for her to stay on the show and discuss current events in light of the accusations made against her husband. I never really liked The Talk, but its sad that she had to leave.
