Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:52:07 GMT

(CNN) — Accionistas de Adidas presentaron una demanda colectiva contra la marca, acusándola de no advertir a los inversores sobre el antisemitismo y el “comportamiento extremo” exhibido por Ye, el rapero anteriormente conocido como Kanye West, antes de que terminara su asociación el año pasado.En la demanda, presentada el viernes en un tribunal federal, los accionistas alegan que Adidas “ignoró rutinariamente” su comportamiento que ya exhibía en 2018. Afirman que los altos ejecutivos “ignoraron problemas serios” que afectan a la asociación con Ye, como sus comentarios antisemitas y sus problemáticos comentarios sobre la esclavitud.En un informe de ese año, Adidas “generalmente aludía” a los riesgos “en lugar de afirmar que la compañía realmente había considerado terminar la asociación como resultado del comportamiento personal de West”, según la demanda. Durante ese tiempo, Ye dijo que la esclavitud era una “elección” en una entrevista de TMZ.La demanda...

‘White House Plumbers’ wrings satire from the oddball characters behind Watergate

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:52:07 GMT

(CNN) — Watergate meets “Veep” in “White House Plumbers,” an at-times-surreal HBO limited series that occasionally feels a little too over the top, mostly because the real-life characters actually were. At its best, it’s a lightweight companion to “All the President’s Men,” presenting the flip side of all that planning and frantic covering up by what amounted to Keystone Criminals.Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux portray E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, the two minor players in the bigger scheme of things that masterminded the plot. The pair sought to ingratiate themselves with the Nixon administration with a bag of “dirty tricks” to help ensure his reelection, leading to Watergate and breaking into the office of Vietnam whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg’s psychologist.If Hunt, a father of three, was leading a life of quiet desperation when this opportunity reared its head, Liddy represented the sort of gung-ho...
