“Somebody called it the Red Wedding,” a source said of Godwin’s layoffs.
ABC News President Kim Godwin has created a “culture of fear” after chopping several veteran staffers in an alleged bid to plug leaks about her mismanagement of the Disney-owned network, insiders told The Post.
“Somebody called it the ‘Red Wedding’,” the source added, referring to a bloody massacre seen from HBO’s hit show “Game of Thrones.” “ABC News is an organization built on questioning but under Kim, there will be no questioning ever,” a source said. Since joining ABC News in 2021, Godwin has been under fire for a slew of missteps including her handling of the Amy Robach-T.J. Holmes scandal.Prior to the layoffs, there had been buzz that Godwin, who has had her fair share of missteps during her two-year tenure, would be pushed out of the high-powered role.Most notably was her head-in-the-sand approach as the Holmes-Robach scandal burst into national headlines.
“The bottom line is Bob Iger is a professional and he wants to work with people who don’t cause headaches. The story had legs because of the way she handled it,” the exec added.
