Netflix hit, The Crown, in hot water over plans to recreate Diana’s death

Netflix hit, The Crown is facing more backlash, this time for its plans to recreate Princess Diana’s final tragic moments in Paris.

This has prompted outrage from some crew members, who say “a line has been crossed.”

It isn’t the first time The Crown has been accused of being insensitive.

Earlier this year, after the death of the Queen, some criticised the show for its portrayal of the late monarch as senile and out-of-touch.

Others have also taken issue with The Crown’s portrayal of Prince Philip as a serial cheat.

Speaking to The Sun, one source said the whole process feels very “uncomfortable”.

They continued, adding “some of the crew members are pushing back on the ideas being tabled.”

Only time will tell if viewers will continue to watch amid all the drama.

Disney trumps DeSantis with legal loophole

Disney has outplayed Ron DeSantis by leaning on a decades-old royal clause

In February, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis moved to take over Disney World’s governing body.

It was all in retaliation to the company’s public stance against the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

But now, new reports suggest this whole plan may have backfired.

Members of the new governor-appointed board argue the previous members stripped the board of its power before they left.

It was all part of an agreement, which was approved a day before DeSantis assumed more control of the land around Disney’s theme park.

Disney is leaning on a property law which essentially makes the company the government of the area.

New board member Ron Peri says the board has lost the majority of its ability to do anything beyond maintain the roads and basic infrastructure.

For just under six decades, Disney has operated its expansive theme park and resort in Florida under a specially designated district.

A board oversaw the area and had free reign of development processes.

Disney also had the authority to appoint district board members.

But this special status came under threat when Disney clashed with DeSantis and his “Don’t Say Gay” law.

Florida lawmakers the passed a bill in February to end Disney’s self-governing status and give the governor the authority to appoint new board members to the district.

DeSantis appointed five supervisors, including a parents’ rights activist and three Republican donors.

But the new supervisors say previous board members entered an agreement before they left their positions – effectively stripping them of any powers. #trending #featured

What alternatives can companies implement, other than just sacking employees, to save something in the short-term?

Let me give you some numbers: Meta, 18,000; Amazon, 9,000; Disney, 7,000.

No, that isn’t the amount of daily subscribers joining the respective platforms, but the amount of job cuts each company has recently announced.

As sexy as that headline ISN’T – it’s a fact of reality that after spending too much during the pandemic, the financial books need to be reined in.

And yes, this may look good to investors in the short-term, but what does it do for the employee – and company morale – going forward?

Are there other alternatives that may satisfy all parties involved?
