Multiple outlets report that Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison and his father, tech entrepreneur Larry Ellison, are facing a new lawsuit from Paramount investors. The suit—described as the fourth related legal action—alleges that the Ellisons struck an “illegal” side deal with President Donald Trump to influence U.S. governmental approval processes for Paramount’s planned takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the reports, the derivative complaint is filed by a Paramount shareholder and targets company officers and directors, asserting breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the merger. One report says the case is filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The complaint also claims the alleged agreement includes promises to reshape media operations, specifically alleging an offer to overhaul CNN, as the Trump administration considers changes affecting media. The new filing comes amid other legal efforts connected to the merger, including actions involving state attorneys general and the Writers Guild of America that seek to block or challenge the deal. The lawsuits’ allegations are not established as fact, and the parties have not been described as admitting wrongdoing.
