Disney has reportedly given the boot to its chairman of general entertainment content, Peter Rice.
Disney confirmed Rice's departure in a news release on Thursday, adding that he would be replaced by Walt Disney Television Chairman Dana Walden.
Sources told The New York Times that Rice was "an ill fit with Disney's corporate culture." Variety reported that Rice's firing was "entirely business and strategy-related" and had nothing to do with any personal behavior by Rice. Variety's sources said that Rice was completely blindsided by the decision.
As chairman, Rice was tasked with overseeing Disney's original entertainment and news programming for its streaming platforms and cable and broadcast networks. Under Rice’s oversight, Disney General Entertainment developed, produced and marketed over 4,500 hours of programming annually across more than 300 entertainment and news programs.
Rice joined Disney during the acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s television and film assets in 2019. He previously served as president of 21st Century Fox and chairman and CEO of Fox Networks Group. Rice began his career in the marketing department at Twentieth Century Fox in 1989.

I guess he wasn’t a pedophile groomer
Walt Disney Television’s chairman of entertainment Dana Walden said during a Women in Focus panel this month that ABC passed on several pilots because they did not meet the network’s recent set of inclusion standards, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Last fall, The Hollywood Reporter published ABC’s inclusion standards, which were put in place to ensure more diverse representation both on and off the screen. The guidelines called for at least a 50 percent increase in recurring characters played by actors from underrepresented groups.
The guidelines also called for “meaningful integration of Underrepresented Groups in overall themes and narratives,” and “ongoing meaningful integration of Underrepresented Groups in episodic themes and narratives.”
In a panel discussion hosted by Chapman University and Glamour, also attended by Stacey Abrams, Eva Longoria, Samantha Bee, and Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, Walden revealed that many scripts did not meet ABC’s new standards, and were therefore passed on.
“I will tell you for the first time we received some incredibly well-written scripts that did not satisfy our standards in terms of inclusion, and we passed on them,” Walden said to moderator Janice Min, a contributing editor at Time.
Walden said that one script revolved around a White family, while diversity and inclusion would likely come from the neighbors or other minor roles.
Is this fallout from the leaked footage where all the Disney creatives got together for a summit and were bragging about how they’re goal is to make everything in Disney programs gay, gay, and even more gay?
now that’s funny, a sick kind of funny.
Can’t blame Disney. The production of material for Disney+ sucks in comparison to the material that Apple TV+ has continued to produce.
“In a panel discussion hosted by Chapman University and Glamour, also attended by Stacey Abrams, Eva Longoria, Samantha Bee, and Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke...”
My goodness, that’s some intellectual horsepower!

He is an outspoken LGBQ advocate.
Was he the one giving final approval to all the Pedo grooming activities?

Peter (Puffer) Rice
If you are making films/shows for the U.S. market, 60 percent of the leads should be white; 75 percent if we include white hispanics. 13 percent should be black. But Disney isn't interested in producing films that look like America. It is interested in producing agitprop.
If you are producing films for the global market, over 50 percent of the leads should be Asian, split roughly equally between South Asian and East Asian (with 101 varieties of each). But that's not what Disney is doing either.
P.S. The big question is what happens to the quality scripts on which Disney passes because it is discriminating against white people. I hope at least a couple of other companies has an active eye on this and will reach out to scoop up good stuff that is getting knifed for woke reasons.
What’s the matter, Disney? Not queer and pro-child grooming enough for you?
No. Chapel was getting too much heat about “Don’t say gay” and was afraid he would be replaced by Peter so he fired him.
Not the first time Chapek has done this.
He came onboard as a long time 20th Century Fox employee when Disney bought them out.
His contract was just renewed for 4 years last August.
Speculation is whether he was too woke or not woke for Chapek.

Exactly - he wouldn’t tow the line and wasn’t decrepit enough for Disney’s gutter values. They pure anyone who isn’t creepy enough 🤪

Right. But it’s actually worse.
For a while male role they will take out the masculinity unless its a villain/bad guy. Even if the white guy isn’t gay he has been neutered to ensure he doesn’t show too much toxic masculinity and make sure he defers to the females.
In fight scenes they will depict smaller females taking out larger white men which doesn’t even seem possible.
They have gone way past phony skin color and gender representations in society into a complete rewriting of human nature. Even liberals can see what’s going on now because it is so overt.
Wonder why he was fired? All this garbage from ONE article will tell you.

Not sure if that’s correct. I spent several minutes reading “Industry insider” comments and really can’t get a good grasp of the dynamics of that issue.
