Discovery in a private chat. Times of India reports the suit, filed by R.J. Cipriani against Paramount Skydance, Paramount Global, and the Ellison family, claims Trump told Ellison, Larry, it looks like Netflix is gonna get Warner Bros., but if you really, really want it, Ill make sure you get it. The comment allegedly came via Paramount president Jeff Shell, amid claims Trump pushed Rush Hour 4 production as a deal sweetener. Paramount slammed the filing as frivolous and baseless, per Deadline, vowing a fierce defense. This ties into the massive $111 billion Paramount-Warner takeover, struck last month after Netflix bowed out, putting CNN, CBS News, HBO, and two iconic studios under Larry and son David Ellisons control. The Los Angeles Times covered Fridays heated Burbank hearing, Lights, Camera, Competition, where Senator Adam Schiff and Rep. Laura Friedman grilled the deals threat to newsroom independence, given the Ellisons Trump tiesTrump settled a 60 Minutes lawsuit with Paramount for $16 million last summer. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta warned guardrails are gone if it clears regulators, as CBS News slashed jobs and radio operations that very day. David Ellison pledged 30 theatrical releases yearly, HBO independence, and job preservation, but critics fear $80 billion debt and billions in cuts. No confirmed public appearances or social media mentions for Larry himself surfaced, though Trump has publicly hailed the Ellisons as good friends. Business Insider notes Warner Bros. board now eyes Paramounts $31 per share bid favorably over Netflixs $27.75, a biographical game-changer if it seals Larrys Hollywood empire.
