Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Media Empire and the Redstone Family Legacy

James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams

Bedrooms/Boardrooms/Bedlam – Which is more revolting? The tawdry, tempestuous tale of billionaire Sumner Redstone, his many lovers, and their fight over his vast fortune? Or the corporate malfeasance of overpaid, entitled male business leaders and their lack of ethics and disregard for sexual crimes? It’s all here in this recap of the Redstone family saga, the downfall of Les Moonves, and the squabbles to control Viacom, CBS, Paramount, and their subsidiaries. But there’s another story, too – and that is the story of Shari Redstone. Belittled and unloved by her reckless, creepy father, Shari Redstone navigates these vulgar, garish familial and professional storms – and comes out here as unexpected heroine.
