The Paramount / Viacom story is just like Bravo’s Summer House, but SCARIER!

Our main character, Paramount CEO Sumner Redstone, is a horny teenager trapped in the body of a crusty old billionaire. At 92, despite being barely conscious, he was still chairman of TWO publicly traded companies.This real life Weekend at Bernie’s scheme was made possible by a group of executive-level lowlifes who took advantage of their absent boss and enriched themselves at the expense of shareholders. It wasn’t until a group of unlikely heroes exposed the elder abuse taking place at Sumner’s mansion that someone finally pulled the plug. But by then, the stench emanating from the geriatric bachelor pad was too strong for even the most devoted Paramount / Viacom supporters to ignore.

Join Becca and Adam as they tell the story of the unlikely rise and fall of Sumner Redstone and Paramount Global.
