BREAKING: Walt Disney Television’s Director of Production/Finance, Sohrab “Dave” Makker, reveals Disney won’t hire anyone “who’s not white or not Jewish” for C-Suite roles, confirming discriminatory hiring practices detailed in OMG’s ‘The Disney Tapes: Part 1.’ Makker, who tracks diversity in annual reports, says Disney prioritizes LGBTQ stories for children but admits shows have failed due to forced diversity. He calls Disney CEO Bob Iger “corrupt,” accusing him of wanting to stay in power, also criticizing Elon Musk, calling him a “narcissist” driven by attention, yet agrees with Musk’s call for Iger’s firing.

The Disney Tapes 2: Disney Finance Director Reveals Disney Will Not Hire Someone “Who’s Not White Or Not Jewish” For C-Suite

• Disney does not hire people to C-Suite level unless they are white or Jewish.
• Disney makes LGBTQ a priority in children’s programming.
• Shows flop after audiences don’t connect when Disney “feed in so much diversity.”

In Part 2 of ‘The Disney Tapes,’ OMG’s undercover Citizen Journalist captures Sohrab “Dave” Makker, Director of Production/Finance at Walt Disney Television, confirming the discriminatory hiring practices and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda at Disney. This corroborates the claims made by Michael Giordano, an attorney and Disney Senior Vice President, in Part 1.

Makker explains that he completes annual diversity inclusion reports on shows and has seen the number of directors, writers, and cast members from non-white racial categories increase. When OMG’s Citizen Journalist prompts, “Most of the executives are white and Jewish,” Makker affirms, “I’d say, yeah.” While he acknowledges the increase in diverse employees at Disney, Makker states there is a “glass ceiling” for individuals who are “non-white” or “non-Jewish,” preventing them from reaching C-Suite positions. He recounts that a qualified Haitian Hispanic woman quit due to this barrier. However, Makker notes that Indians may be hired into C-Suite roles, especially in technology: “You’ll find the chief technology officer, he’ll be Indian, obviously, technology, right?”

Makker believes Disney prioritizes teaching children LGBTQ stories but feels “Netflix does it better.” He thinks it “would be great” to include more LGBTQ content in kids’ shows because, as he puts it, “It’s the way the world is.”

Makker admits that DEI has gone too far at Disney when they “insert diversity when it’s not really organic to the story.” He cites his show, Debt and Other Details, which flopped despite having a “really big actor” as the lead because “the audience didn’t connect” due to excessive diversity that felt inauthentic. “The characters felt like, oh, they’re trying to hit a box. There’s one lesbian character, one African-American, one Indian, one Chinese. It just felt like these people would never be together in that setting,” highlighting that even within Disney, there is recognition that audiences aren’t buying the DEI narrative being sold.

Makker speculates that Elon Musk doesn’t truly believe in free speech and is driven by a desire for attention, calling him a “narcissist” who loves the spotlight. Despite his negative view of Musk, Makker agrees with Musk’s call for Disney CEO Bob Iger’s firing, describing Iger as “corrupt” and accusing him of wanting to stay in power. Iger, who came with a two-year promise to turn the company around and appoint a new CEO, is accused by Makker of removing any potential threats to his position, including former CFO Christine McCarthy, who could have become CEO.

DEI policies have compromised many iconic American companies, with insiders revealing legally actionable discrimination in only a few. If this divisive DEI agenda is present in family-friendly Disney, it raises questions about how many other companies have adopted similar policies. Despite knowing that DEI policies result in inauthentic products, companies continue to adhere to them, seemingly against their own interests and those of their shareholders. This begs the question: Who or what group is powerful enough to demand or orchestrate systemic compliance to such a flawed agenda? Are corporate leaders acting against the interests of shareholders due to external pressures? More Citizen Journalists are needed to uncover the answers to these critical questions.
