Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek has claimed that his predecessor—and later successor—Bob Iger launched a "relentless three-year campaign to push me out" after initially appointing him to the role. Chapek made these allegations in an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, where he criticized the way Disney’s board and Iger handled his departure. He stated that the process felt as though he had committed a serious wrongdoing, despite his prior appointment by Iger. Chapek was appointed CEO of Disney in 2020, following the retirement of Bob Iger, who had led the company for over a decade. Iger later returned to the company in 2023, taking on the role of chairman, while Chapek remained CEO. The transition between the two executives has been the subject of much speculation and media attention. In his book excerpt, Chapek does not provide specific details about what he believes Iger and the board did to push him out, but he emphasizes the emotional and professional toll of the experience. He also notes that the situation created a difficult environment for him during his tenure as CEO. The claims from Chapek add to the ongoing narrative about leadership changes at Disney, a company known for its high-profile executives and frequent shifts in strategy. While Iger has not publicly commented on these allegations, his return to the company has raised questions about the internal dynamics and future direction of Disney.
