Returning CEO Iger Wants Disney to Stay Away From Cultural Issues, ‘Have Respect’ for Audience

Returning Disney CEO Bob Iger wants the company to veer away from involving itself in hot-button cultural issues.

Mr. Iger responded to several questions at an internal town hall with Disney employees, according to independent journalist Christopher Rufo.

“Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy? Of course not,” Mr. Iger said in response to a suggestion that staffers wished Disney stayed out of politics. “It can be distracting, and it can have a negative impact on the company. And to the extent that I can work to kind of quiet things down, I’m going to do that.”

The returning CEO, who was brought back last week to replace successor Bob Chapek in a surprise move by Disney’s board, also lamented the damaged relationship the family entertainment giant has with the state of Florida.

The public fight between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over what critics call the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill doled a major blow to the company’s standing. (Read more from “Returning CEO Iger Wants Disney to Stay Away From Cultural Issues, ‘Have Respect’ for Audience” HERE)
