DISGRACED former CBS boss Les Moonves was forced to quit as chairman of the network amid floods of disgusting claims tied to sexual assault, misconduct and harassment, but wife Julie Chen tells pals the dirty scandal made their 18-year marriage stronger. The 53-year-old Big Brother host enjoys a happy home life with 73-year-old Les and their 13-year-old son, Charles, and while “Julie doesn’t call it a blessing, Les’s trials and tribulations only drew them closer,” a friend spills. “Since Les is no longer working 60 to 70 hours a week they have a much more tranquil, steadier home life.” Many thought the couple’s marriage was doomed following the sordid 2018 scandal — that included Cybill Shepherd’s claim that Les canceled her still-popular sitcom Cybill because she refused to have sex with…
