Disney CEO Bob Iger is standing by Peter Rice and Dana Walden after the future Disney TV executives were called out in the $179 million-profit participation judgment that Fox was hit with over profits from the 2005-17 series “Bones.”
“Peter Rice and Dana Walden are highly respected leaders in this industry, and we have complete confidence in their character and integrity,” Iger said in a statement after the $179 million judgment was disclosed on Wednesday. “Disney had no involvement in the arbitration, and we understand the decision is being challenged and will leave it to the courts to decide the matter.”
