Though his problems are self-inflicted, Gunn was banished for an incredibly poor choice of words Moonves continues to run CBS, pending an investigation into allegations of serious sexual harassment bordering on sexual assault. Disney’s quick guillotine contrasted dramatically to CBS’s handling of the Les Moonves controversy. It would not be surprising that Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige would make one last try at rapprochement. Initial reports encouraged readers to complain to Disney, and the studio responded quickly and decisively to complete a stunning take down: “The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him,” said Alan Horn, Walt Disney Studios chairman. They were collected and published by The Daily Caller, One America News Network correspondent Jack Posobiec and right wing commentator Mike Cernovich, apparently after Gunn mocked conservative pundit Ben Shapiro. Gunn’s regrettable Tweets offered indefensible comments on spectacularly serious subjects like pedophilia and rape, written as long as a decade ago.
