Several investors in Disney (DIS) have requested that the company share documents regarding its decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s shows last week, Reuters reports, citing a letter to the media giant by lawyers for the American Federation of Teachers, U.S. labor federation AFL-CIO, and Reporters Without Borders. The demand is looking to investigate potential wrongdoing, mismanagement and fiduciary breaches by Disney’s board and leadership. “There is a credible basis to suspect that the board and executives may have breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty, care, and good faith by placing improper political or affiliate considerations above” Disney and its shareholders’ best interests, the letter said.
