I don't understand why Johansson's movies would make it obvious you're not supposed to mess with her.
> I repeat. Do not mess with Scarlett Johansson.
> You would think her movies, and her suit against Disney, would make this obvious.
What are the movies supposed to show? Is it a joke, or does the author not understand the difference between the actor and the role? Johansson is not actually Black Widow. Or what am I not understanding?
Of course the other points stand on their own, like successfully suing Disney. Just nitpicking.
The impression I get, broadly, is that she's smart enough to consistently star in well regarded movies, know her worth, power, and how to control a narrative. Disney, a notoriously hard-assed company, for all intents and purposes caved to her in a few months.
On Altman:
"It’s increasingly clear that the board fired him for the reasons they gave at the time: he is not honest or trustworthy, and that’s not an acceptable trait for a CEO!"
My experience, with one personal exception, is that deception and lies are the the hallmarks of a good CEO - good in the business sense. There is something about the kind of person that wants to be a CEO that attracts sociopaths. But I would argue for most businesses a sociopath is what you need to operate in a market environment predicated on preying on the pocketbooks of the populace.

Allowing such a market to arise is a societal problem. Thankfully the future can still be changed, if we want to badly enough
Let's imagine a society where power grabs are checked. Then we have an unstable equilibrium. Lucky and shrewd persons can become able to evade the checks. It's a bit like immunity of bugs to poisons. Bugs that die off don't reproduce so the system is self-selecting to immune bugs.
