Redstone

Paramount’s controlling shareholder Shari Redstone has pushed for a settlement to facilitate Paramount’s sale to the family headed by billionaire tech mogul Larry Ellison.

Redstone’s apparent willingness to appease Trump has sparked sharp protests within the company.

Redstone, who serves as Paramount’s chairwoman, recused herself from discussions about the settlement, the sources said.

According to one journalist at the network who was not authorized to speak publicly, Paramount Global majority shareholder Shari Redstone has asked for story line-ups ahead of the broadcasts in recent months.

According to an earlier New York Times report, Paramount Global’s majority shareholder, Shari Redstone, wants the suit to go away so the company’s multibillion-dollar merger with Skydance Media can move forward and make the wealthy Redstone much wealthier.
