I guess Latondra Newton wanted to get out before the woke Indiana Jones movie further tanked the company!

Sad! Not good!

Latondra Newton, who has served as Disney's chief diversity officer since 2017, is leaving the company. An internal memo from Disney chief human resources officer Sonia Coleman announcing Newton's departure was circulated to staff Tuesday.

Coleman wrote that Newton "decided to leave The Walt Disney Company to pursue other endeavors." We hear that she plans to join a corporate board and focus on a creative company she owns.

Disney said Newton's direct reports will now report to Julie Merges, SVP Talent Acquisition, who will run the DEI operations on an interim basis while the search for Newton's replacement is underway.

What will Disney do without a full-time Marxist overlord whose job it is to impart struggle sessions about gay sex and racism to our youth?

How will the company survive??

Newton's title was SVP, Chief Diversity Officer, a role in which she oversaw Disney's strategic diversity and inclusion initiatives. According to Disney's bio, she worked with "various business segments and leaders across the enterprise to build on Disney's commitment to produce entertainment that reflects a global audience and sustains a welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone."

Newton was one of the execs who signed Disney's statement on the BLM grift in 2020. Her job, in essence, was to ruin everything by inserting racial and sexual identity politics into all of Disney's products.

Her exit comes following the flop of two major films: 1) The live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid" that made the character Ariel black and injected discussions on slavery and feminism into the plot, and 2) Pixar's new film with a "non-binary" character and themes on racism and xenophobia.

• "The Little Mermaid" did well on opening weekend in America, but fell flat in the global market, and there are serious concerns that the film will not make the $560 million needed to recoup the cost of production and advertising. For a major Disney flick based on one of the most beloved animated films ever, barely breaking is a flop.
• As for the Pixar film "Elemental," it made only $29.5 million on opening weekend against a $200 million production budget, not including advertising.

These aren't small studios making films for Netflix. This is Disney, the king of animation and family features.

Thank you all for your continued contributions to our DEI efforts. I know we can count on you to keep this important work moving forward during this leadership transition.

That's what HR exec Sonia Coleman wrote to employees.

Maybe a few more box-office bombs will shake their faith in "continued contributions" to "DEI efforts."
