Daily Mail Reports: Nelson Peltz, the billionaire activist investor vying to overhaul Disney, has a history of taking on woke politicians and CEOs who he believes are harming America.
Yesterday, Peltz - the 80-year-old father of Brooklyn Beckham 's actress wife Nicola Peltz - made a play for Disney with an SEC filing asking for a seat on the board, and with a multi-faceted social media and website campaign to 'restore' its lost 'magic'.
It marks a new chapter in Disney's checkered recent history; the once-revered American behemoth has gone down in the estimations of many families who say it's become too political.
Peltz's bid for Disney is not his first attempt to take control - or at least steer - a once-thriving company that he believes has lost its way with virtue signaling.
In September 2021, he did just that with Unilever, the company that owns a range of brands, including Ben & Jerry's. During a meeting in London, New York-born Peltz confronted Unilever's CEO, Alan Jope about the famously liberal Ben & Jerry's and its many political statements.
