The Women’s History Month event on Wednesday was specifically going to be hosted by the multinational media conglomerate’s Office of Global Inclusion, a source familiar with the situation told JNS, which first reported on the scheduled event.
ViacomCBS spokesperson Justin Dini told JNS, “This event was cancelled well in advance of Wednesday.”
Dini did not respond to a request for comment as to exactly when and why the event was cancelled.
