In a letter sent to Disney CEO Bob Iger, it is expressed that the decision to suspend Kimmel was “admitted to pressure from the government.” According to the shareholders, there are ‘well -founded reasons’ to assume that Disney has not fulfilled his duties ‘by inappropriate political or business considerations above the interests of the company and to set its shareholders’.
