Shari Redstone’s Paramount received an unusual assist to settle its controversial lawsuit with President Trump, which should now clear the way for its long-awaited sale to independent studio Skydance,

A source tells us that “Paramount had absolutely nothing to do with this side deal” and it was not what the “Paramount board approved.”

Paramount accused of ‘bribery’ for paying Trump $16 million to settle ‘patently unconstitutional’ lawsuit - ‘No one is a fan of Shari right now,’ one network staffer told The Independent on Tuesday evening.
