ABC entertainment chairman Lloyd Braun walked into Vincenti restaurant in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and extended a hand to his boss, Disney president Robert Iger, who did not reciprocate.
Instead, Mr. Iger warned his lieutenant on that night in November 2003, "I’m going to let you have it." But it was Mr. Braun who let fly, according to a passage from a draft of James Stewart’s book "Disney War".
Mr. Braun accused Mr. Iger of "lack of character; incompetence; taking credit for things you had nothing to do with; and running away from decisions you made."
When Mr. Braun alleged that his boss had not had a hand in one of ABC’s few successes at the time, the "reality" show "The Bachelor", Mr. Iger was kate. He jumped out of his chair, jostling a waiter who spilled coffee down Mr. Iger’s shirt front. Mr. Stewart’s book, which does not hit stores until later this month but already is the talk of Hollywood, could not come at a worse moment for Mr. Iger, widely seen as the frontrunner to become Disney’s next chief executive after Michael Eisner.
"The timing isn’t good at all," said Harold Vogel, a media analyst. Disney board members are scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss Mr. Eisner’s replacement, expected to be named by June. Once dismissed by Wall Street as being too close to Mr. Eisner and not a strong leader in his own right, Mr. Iger has overcome reservations in the investment community.
Disney cooperated extensively with Mr. Stewart during his research. But recently the group has been battling with the author and his publisher, Simon & Schuster, over unflattering passages about Mr. Iger and Mr. Eisner that Disney executives have insisted are slanted or erroneous.
Asked to comment on the draft of Stewart’s book, a Disney spokesman would say only: "This flagrantly irresponsible article does not rise to a level that merits the dignity of a response.
Mr. Stewart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, declined to comment. Simon & Schuster executive vice-president David Rosenthal said, "We feel the book speaks for itself, and we stand behind it." [br] According to the passage, David Rosenthal is _______.
