The battle over Sumner Redstone’s media empire shows no sign of abating. Regarding to the refusal of Viacom Inc. CEO Philippe Dauman and four others to leave the Viacom board after Redstone replaced them, Redstone’s privately held holding company, National Amusements, issued a statement objecting to Viacom paying for Dauman’s legal and PR expenses. “Under Philippe Dauman’s leadership, Viacom is diverting valuable corporate resources to mount a legal and PR campaign against Sumner Redstone, despite the fact that Redstone is Viacom’s Founder, Chairman Emeritus and controlling shareholder,” said the company. Responded Viacom, “It is certainly in the interests of all Viacom’s stockholders that …actions be pursued in order to preserve the independence of the board.” At issue is whether 93-year-old Redstone is mentally competent to call the shots.
