“Addicted to Succession? Well, here’s the real thing.” – The Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n

\u201cJaw-dropping . . . an epic tale of toxic wealth and greed populated by connivers and manipulators.\u201d \u2014The New York Times Book Review, Editors\u2019 Choice<\/p>\n

The shocking inside story of the struggle for power and control at Paramount Global, the multibillion-dollar entertainment empire controlled by the Redstone family, and the dysfunction, misconduct, and deceit that threatened the future of the company, from the Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning journalists who first broke the news<\/p>\n

In 2016, the fate of Paramount Global\u2019s entertainment empire hung precariously in the balance. Its founder and head, ninety-three-year-old Sumner M. Redstone, was facing a very public lawsuit brought by a former romantic companion, Manuela Herzer, which placed Sumner\u2019s deteriorating health and questionable judgment under a harsh light.<\/p>\n

As an all-powerful media mogul, Sumner had been a demanding boss, and an even more demanding father. When his daughter, Shari, took control of the business, she faced the hostility of boards who for years had heard Sumner disparage her. Les Moonves, the CEO of CBS, schemed with his allies on the board to strip Shari of power. But while he publicly battled Shari, news began to leak of Moonves\u2019s involvement in multiple instances of sexual misconduct, and he began working behind the scenes to try to make the stories disappear.<\/p>\n

Unscripted\u00a0is an explosive and unvarnished look at the usually secret inner workings of two public companies, their boards of directors, and a wealthy, dysfunctional family in the throes of seismic changes. From the Pulitzer Prize\u2013 winning journalists James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams,\u00a0Unscripted lays bare the battle for power at any price\u2014and the carnage that ensued. <\/p>\n
