Paramount Ex-Distribution Chief Sues for Millions Over Age Bias

Former Paramount Domestic Theatrical Distribution head Chris Aronson has sued Paramount for over $4 million, alleging age discrimination and breach of contract after being replaced by a younger executive following the Skydance takeover; at 69 at termination, he says Paramount shortened his contract and cut healthcare benefits, and he cites workforce data showing older employees bore a disproportionate share of layoffs while the company sought to avoid full payout of his fixed-term deal. The case is in L.A. Superior Court and adds to turbulence around Paramount under Ellison’s WBD takeover.
