ABC News executive Barbara Fedida will not return to the Disney-owned unit following an investigation into allegations of insensitive behavior and her treatment of employees, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Staffers were notified of the matter Monday in a memo from Peter Rice, chairman of Walt Disney Television. The investigation substantiated that Ms. Fedida did make some of the unacceptable racially insensitive comments attributed to her. It also substantiated that Ms. Fedida managed in a rough manner and, on occasion, used crass and inappropriate language, Rice said. Lastly, the investigation found no basis for the claims that Ms. Fedida was the subject of dozens of HR complaints and that ABC News spent millions of dollars in confidential settlements related to Ms. Fedida, as alleged in some press accounts.

Among the claims raised in the Huffington Post story was a remark made when Fedida was involved in negotiations with Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts contract. When Fedida and her colleagues were discussing how Roberts wanted more money as a part of her contract renewal, the report allegesd Fedida said it wasnt as if ABC was asking the anchor to pick cotton. In another incident, Fedida reportedly asked attendees at a company lunch held following mass shooting incidents in the U.S. which ABC News employee would be most likely to be an active shooter.

Bye, Fedida!.....................
Don’t cry for me Fedida...
[Unacceptable Racially Insensitive Comments Attributed To Her] == [URICATH]
Don’t get infront of the SJW steam roller, no matter whom you are unless you are a Clinton.
OK so was there ever corrective effort or are they cutting her loose because it finally escaped the ABC/Disney bubble?
What did terrible racist thing did she say? All lives matter? Make America Great Again? Good job, Bevelyn Beatty?
Aufedidarsehn!
George Carlin would have reduced this story to a sentence and defined her with just three syllables: "Racist B****", or a one syllable four letter word you (formerly) couldn't say on television. "Liberal" as a prefix would nail her down completely.
“the report alleges Fedida said it wasnt as if ABC was asking the anchor to pick cotton.”
How is that racist? My mom picked cotton, along with my aunts and uncles when they were children. They are very white. This was a very common experience in the south and in Texas during the depression era.
For Disney to dump a woke Jewish woman means she probably did a lot worse stuff than they are talking about.

Historical accounts and inconvenient facts are easily ignored by the Left. Nothing gets in the way of their agenda pushing.
How DARE anyone say anything “insensitive” or make a joke! This is Libmerica we live in now. Re-education camp isn’t good enough for this kind of behavior! This woman must be fired at once and spend the rest of her life cleaning toilets at the nearest CHOP rape / looting training camp!
Is there a black market (oops... terrible choice of words there!) for watermelons now? Are grocery stores still allowed to sell those? What about fried chicken? How can KFC stay in business after all those decades of fried chicken jokes! I demand reparations! Half a fried chicken for every black person (or every person identifying as a black person). And I don’t mean just ANY half of a fried chicken, I mean breasts... and EXTRA CRISPY!! (sorry if any feminists or transgenders are offended by the word “breasts” because you know, they tend to be deficient in that department).
I suggest that anyone white can only buy chicken feet from now on - or, better yet, just starve - and starve gladly because, you know, George Floyd. Or slavery. Or just because.
(Of course, I am joking. I hate trying to think like a leftist in the morning).
Na, sollten sein “Aufweidersuchen!”
This was a very common experience in the south and in Texas during the depression era.
Spot on people now days have no idea how hard times were then most of them today would die before they would do hard work.
Not black enough?
