Iger vs. Chapek: Disney CEO's Had Tense Falling Out
Bob Chapek, the current CEO of the Walt Disney Company, has reportedly had a falling out with his predecessor Bob Iger. Chapek, who took over from Iger in February 2020, has had a difficult time in the position as only a month after assuming his new responsibilities, the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed most of Disney's operations and led to losses of almost $1.4 billion. Alongside the issues brought on by the pandemic, Chapek's reign as CEO has also seen a public dispute over salary negotiations with Scarlett Johannsson and a staff walkout over the poor response from company leadership to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill, both of which harmed the company's public image.
