A Disney-Fox Deal Could be Announced on Thursday

Disney Fox Deal

It is looking like the deal between Disney and Fox will be announced on Thursday according to a report by CNBC on Tuesday.

Disney is set to acquire key entertainment and sports assets from 21st Century Fox, including its film and TV studio in this $60-billion plus deal.

Both Fox and Disney have not released statements yet according to a report by Variety. Disney shares were up to just over $107 (an increase of  0.44%) in early morning trading,  while shares of Fox rose to $33.37 (a .33% increase).

Not all of Fox’s assets will transfer to Disney.  Fox News, the Fox broadcast network, and Fox Sports 1 will be retained by what will be a new, independent company, worth roughly $10 per share according to CNBC.  Fox shareholders will get a stake in the new company, along with shares of Disney, as part of the impending deal.

With this pact, the landscape of the entertainment business will be forever changed, eliminating one of the six major studios and giving Disney access to a vast library of shows and movies.  All of this happening as as Disney works to launch a streaming competitor to Netflix. In recent years, and under CEO Bob Iger, Disney has created quite a legacy of  spending big to nab major entertainment companies like Marvel, Pixar, and Lucasfilm.

Mario Batali on Leave from The Chew After Sexual Harassment Allegations

mario batali sexual harassment

Mario Batali has taken a leave from co-hosting ABC’s  “The Chew” amidst allegations of sexual harassment.

The Orlando Sentinel reported Monday that four women, all unnamed, have accused Batali of sexual harassment. Not only has he been put on leave from “The Chew,” but Food Network has also put plans to relaunch his show, “Molto Mario,” next year on hold.

One woman described two instances where Batali made unwelcomed and inappropriate physical contact with her with the others alleged he grabbed parts of their bodies at industry events.  Three of the women worked for him while the fourth worked in the industry but not for him directly.

In the aftermath, Batali has stepped away from operations of his empire of 26 restaurants worldwide.  He made a statement of apology to Eater which reads:

“I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted. That behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family.”

A spokesperson for ABC issued a statement saying “We have asked Mario Batali to step away from The Chew while we review the allegations that have just recently come to our attention.  ABC takes matters like this very seriously as we are committed to a safe work environment. While we are unaware of any type of inappropriate behavior involving him and anyone affiliated with the show, we will swiftly address any alleged violations of our standards of conduct.”

The Food Network also released a statement saying “Food Network takes matters like this very seriously and we are putting relaunch plans for ‘Molto Mario’ on hold.”

This is not the first harassment suit filed where Batali’s name has come up, although he was not directly accused in any other instance.

Mario Batali is one of the most well-know chef’s in America. He has been involved with several shows on the Food Network, has published 11 cookbooks and has a charitable foundation in his name. Named Outstanding Chef in 2005 by The James Beard Foundation, Batali is a partner in the Italian market and restaurant company Eataly USA, which has five U.S. locations.
