Bari Weiss<\/a> is reportedly isolated from CBS staffers.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, June 10, the Status newsletter<\/a> reported that instead of \u201cbeing visible around the newsroom,\u201d the editor-in-chief of CBS, 42, has been in her own suite on the sixth floor of the company headquarters in NYC.<\/p>\n

The suite is not easily accessible as it is \u201cphysically locked to outside visitors, requiring special key card access to gain admittance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Status reported Weiss is there with deputy editor Adam Rubenstein and managing editor Charles Forelle. Meanwhile, CBS News President Tom Cibrowski has an office in a different area of the building.<\/p>\n

The news comes after the shocking firing<\/a> of former 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley<\/a> \u2014 who had been at CBS for decades \u2014 and ongoing layoffs at the company.<\/p>\n

As Globe previously reported, Pelley, 68, went off on newly minted 60 Minutes<\/a> executive producer Nick Bilton in a meeting on Monday, June 1.<\/p>\n

Weiss replaced executive producer Tanya Simon with Bilton and fired correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega on Thursday, May 28, per The Los Angeles Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place, she was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,\u201d Pelley declared about Weiss, according to The New York Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cShe has no qualifications for her job<\/a>; you have slender qualifications for this job,\u201d the former CBS Evening News anchor added. \u201cThe changes that she\u2019s made at the \u2018Evening News\u2019 have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelley was fired the following day.<\/p>\n

The tensions between CBS employees and Weiss have been ongoing since she began her role in October 2025.<\/p>\n
