Hollywood executives including Disney's Bob Iger and Warner Bros' David Zaslav are reportedly “shocked” at the public's perception of them amid the WGA strike.

According to a new report from Deadline, meetings were held on August 30 to be held between some of Hollywood's biggest execs to try and negotiate with the WGA. This included the likes of Amazon Studios' Mike Hopkins and Jennifer Salke, Netflix's Ted Sarandos, Universal's Donna Langley, Warner Bros' Zaslav, and Disney's Dana Walden and Iger (who attender virtually).

The report noted that the “thin skinned” Iger and Zaslav were particularly “stunned” at how they are being vilified by both the WGA  and its members. “Almost everyone is looking for someone to blame,” an insider told Deadline. “They're paralyzed, even as the clock is ticking, and it's Ted's fault, Iger's fault, even Tony Vinciquerra's (Sony's chair and CEO) fault, depending on who you ask.”

They added that the finger pointing is “not helping the situation, or anyone.”

The WGA strike began on May 2, with over 11,500 screenwriters going on strike. There are many issues at hand, but one of the main points of contention is the labor dispute. With an uptick in production of streaming projects, it has put more pressure on writers to get work churned out. 121 days in and there still doesn't appear to be an end in sight.

At the same time, the SAG-AFTRA union went on strike — this representing the actors guild. That began on July 14, over two months into the WGA strike.

With many projects being delayed and a lot of people out of work, hopefully the likes of Bob Iger and David Zaslav can get a grip on the situation.
