Jimmy Kimmel is back on ABC after a week suspension, but the lawyer who beat Donald Trump in cases of sexual abuse and defamation wants the Walt Disney Company to be cleaned with its shareholders on the way it happened – or else.
“There is a credible basis to suspect that the board of directors and the leaders may have violated their fiduciary duties of loyalty, care and good faith by placing inappropriate political or affiliated considerations above the best interests of the company and its shareholders,” said a letter delivered to Bob Iger today from Roberta Kaplan and other lawyers without teachers, and repairers.
“The company’s response to the requests for books and files set out below will allow AFT and RWB to assess the ability of the board of directors to impartially consider an application for action, including a permission request to file a derivative trial in the name of Disney in the event that members of the Disney Council or Disney managers did not properly increase their fiduciary duties,” added the lawyers mouse.

“Disney’s stock has undergone significant declines in response to the company’s steep decision to suspend Mr. Kimmel and his program, Jimmy Kimmel Live!which seemed to be in response to the threats of the president of the Federal Commission Commission (‘FCC’), Brendan Carr and Affiliés ABC (notably those who are detained and exploited by Nexstar Media Group, Inc.

With a legal legal and with a deadline of five working days, the letter also stipulates: “If Disney does not comply with its obligations, whether by refusing to meet in a timely time or to refuse this request in whole or in part, at the rear and RWB, you reserve their initiation rights to an action obliging this production and to continue all and RWB reserves their rights and do not reject. »»
Officially, Disney Brass Iger and Dana Walden’s decision on September 17 to take Live! Out of the air “indefinitely” was supposedly on what the company was later called that Kimmel “badly informed” and “insensitive” made during his program on September 15 on Maga and Trump’s response to the deadly filming of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk a few days earlier. In his opening on September 23, Kimmel spoke of his intentions in his comments on September 15, the response, the support he received and the dangers of censorship and attacks against the first amendment.
