In the view of a certain HE friendo who’s no fan of the suddenly departed Amazon and MGM Studios honcho Jennifer Salke….

“[Amazon owner] Jeff Bezos was perturbed by the protracted 007 fallout, as well as the cost of buying out Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, but spending that additional billion on severance for the Bond producers as well as the costs of the Salke-approved Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power as well as Citadel ($300 million) finally took its toll on this trillionaire. 

“Bezos finally woke up to Salke’s wokeness (and should have questioned her early on the cost of acquiring Mindy Kaling’s Late Night).  Both Salke and her husband Bert are considered lavishly unqualified for positions they’ve held for too long, and encumbered by questionable taste.”
