Chapek blames Iger for ouster

Chapek states he was abruptly fired in November 2022 after serving less than three years. He argues that Iger initiated a relentless three-year campaign to push him out of the position. The former leader says he never expected to endure such a drawn-out undoing of his leadership.

Book details internal conflict

The memoir, set for release on September 29, mentions Iger 121 times across its pages. Chapek writes that he did nothing wrong to warrant the action taken by the board. Representatives for Iger and Disney have declined to comment on these specific claims.
