Former Disney Boss Bob Chapek Reveals His Biggest Issue With Current CEO Bob Iger

Chapek says the memoir is about setting the record straight after four quiet years and disputes the narrative around his Disney tenure.

  • On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek releases his new memoir, criticizing how Bob Iger maneuvered to regain the CEO position in 2022.
  • Beginning his tenure as CEO in 2020 just before the COVID-19 pandemic, Chapek recounts his 30 years at Disney to address narratives about his tenure that he claims are inaccurate.
  • In an interview with Valuetainment, Chapek said he aims to engage in "some truth telling" about his experiences, clarifying he does not have a "beef" with Iger but objects to his 2022 actions.
  • After four years of silence, Chapek felt compelled to write the book to secure his legacy, saying his healing process stopped because the public narrative felt one-sided and inaccurate.
  • While Disney has largely avoided commenting on the memoir, the book covers Chapek's entire career, including his upbringing in Indiana, rather than focusing solely on the business conflict.
