I know people who work, and have worked for Disney. The House of Mouse is not what people think. Perhaps this person fell for some of their "propaganda" because his personality was prone to it. It's sad that he chose to use his personal life as a corporation to make money. I've worked in the entertainment industry. I keep my personal and business life separate. Entertainment IS a BUSINESS! Of course, social media seems to tempt everyone into believing they, too, are special and can become rich and famous. It's not only kids who buy into this. A very sad story.

Its a decade old saying in the industry that "all" disney executives are "weird f'....s".This seems to span over several generations of them so one cannot help to wonder about what corporate culture breeds their success - it could be as harmless as being too superficial to recognise sociopathy).
