Blackwells Capital, a Disney shareholder with plenty of opinions about who should sit on the company’s board of directors, blasted the rival Trian Group for its own board maneuvering.
In a press release, Blackwells Chief Investment Officer Jason Aintabi said Trian co-founder Nelson Peltz has come up short in terms of suggestions for righting the media giant’s ship. Trian this month formally initiated a proxy war with Disney, nominating Peltz and former Disney CFO Jim Rasulo to the board, planning to solicit support from a shareholder base restless with the company’s lackluster stock performance.
Trian has attacked Disney’s path under CEO Bob Iger, who returned to the top exec role in November 2022 in a bid to shore up the company after it slipped under his hand-picked successor, Bob Chapek. The company has faced a host of operational challenges, some of them universal among traditional media players and some of Disney’s own creation, with stumbles at Pixar and Marvel belonging to the latter category. Trian has also criticized the company’s stewardship of ESPN, the sports powerhouse that has steadily lost video subscribers and is seeking outside investors ahead of a leap into stand-alone streaming.
Despite having had at least two dozen formal interactions with Disney, Aintabi said, “Mr. Peltz has not offered a single strategic idea that would benefit shareholders. Astoundingly, Mr. Peltz recently claimed that he would like ‘a guy who doesn’t have media experience’ on the Disney board. We remind Mr. Peltz that Disney is a significant media company and, now more than any time in its history, needs Board members with deep media experience.”
Blackwells last Friday nominated three of its own candidates for Disney’s board:

“Selfish” — which dropped Thursday morning — finds the pop superstar getting in his falsetto feels over a smooth midtempo groove.“So if I get jealous, I can’t help it/I want every bit of you, I guess I’m selfish,” he sweetly croons in the chorus that proves that, even at 42, he still possesses some of that same boy-band charm that made us fall in love with him when he was a curly-haired teen heartthrob.Indeed, after Timberlake reunited with ’N Sync last fall for the “Trolls Band Together” bop “Better Place,” “Selfish” takes him back to the swoon-worthy sincerity of his boy-band days — long before he fell victim to cancel culture for his purported misdeeds with Janet Jackson (after their 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance) and ex Britney Spears.But while the song recaptures a kind of lost innocence, it also has some muted, moody beats — think Drake — and a hint of melancholy from an older soul.“Selfish” — which reteams Timberlake with longtime producer Timbaland, while bringing in new collaborators Louis Bell (Taylor Swift, Post Malone) and Cirkut (Maroon 5, The Weeknd) — is the first single from the singer’s upcoming sixth studio album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” due March 15.Timberlake also dropped the “Selfish” video, and like the song, it’s a more subtle, subdued affair than, say, “Filthy,” from his last LP, 2018’s “Man of the Woods.”It’s just Justin singing and vibing behind the scenes, proudly rocking the grays in his beard now.The clip — directed by Bradley J.
