Overview
- ABC’s GMA3 has confirmed an on-air interview between former Disney chief Bob Iger and Robin Roberts later this month.
- The appearance is expected to be the first wide-format opportunity for Iger to address allegations in Bob Chapek’s memoir that he worked to undermine Chapek’s tenure.
- Iger left the Disney chief executive role when Josh D’Amaro took over and did not remain in an executive capacity through the rest of the year as once anticipated.
- Iger has not issued a detailed public rebuttal to Chapek’s book and will likely face direct questions about the account during the interview.
- Iger’s public profile since leaving the company includes D23 honors that recognized his legacy and reported outside investments such as participation in the group that bought the Los Angeles Lakers while another book about him is due later this year.
