Bob Chapek, who was fired as Disney CEO in 2022, addresses his departure in a new memoir, according to reporting that includes a New York Times account of the book. In the memoir, Chapek says he is placing responsibility for his ouster on Bob Iger.
Chapek’s planned book release is described as “Behind the Castle Walls: My Thirty Years at the Happiest Place on Earth,” with publication set for Sept. 29. The reporting notes that Iger both preceded and later succeeded Chapek as CEO, placing Iger in a central position in Chapek’s account of the leadership change. The outlets summarize Chapek’s characterization of the events leading to his removal but do not present additional corroborating details or competing claims from Iger in the provided material.
