A CBS executive has been placed on leave after a report was released with accusations that he regularly made sexual and homophobic comments at work — including allegedly calling Stephen Colbert “gay” and saying actor Hugh Jackman is “in the closet.”

Vincent “Vinnie” Favale was put on leave while bosses investigate, a CBS spokesperson said Wednesday.

The announcement came hours after CNN published a report in which former colleagues accused Favale, the senior vice president of talent for CBS TV Studios, of making crude comments in front of them.

“I’ll never forget the day he told me he got four erections while watching Jennifer Hudson rehearse,” a female former CBS executive recalled in the report.

Favale allegedly made the vulgar quip while watching the Oscar-winning performer rehearse ahead of a 2015 appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Some of the people interviewed in the story said that Favale derogatorily used “homos” and “gay” in reference to guests and co-workers and questioned Colbert’s sexual orientation during rehearsals.

“He would frequently call Stephen [Colbert] gay because of his seeming inability to interview women well,” a former executive told CNN.

The people who agreed to speak to CNN said they were emboldened to share their accounts after Moonves was forced to resign last month over sexual harassment and assault allegations.

Favale denied any allegations of retaliation and said his comments were taken out of context.

“Allegations that I have ever retaliated against anyone in any fashion are 100% false. I have spent my entire career working at comedy shows, where there has always been a wide latitude to make transgressive jokes while preparing the program,” he said to CNN. “While we make a lot of jokes, these jokes attributed to me, whether said in rehearsals or production meetings, are being taken out of context and were not said in the way being presented here.”
