CBS, Viacom: Shari Redstone Preps Battle for Control

New York Times: Shari Redstone says that she has patched up her “very public” disagreements with her father, Viacom-CBS chief Sumner Redstone, now 92 and in poor health. That portrayal is being challenged in a salacious lawsuit, filed by her father’s former romantic partner. The suit, slated for trial in May, says that he is not mentally competent and that his daughter manipulated him to take control of his companies.
