Corporate poaching never goes over well with Disney & even less so when they lose a key exec like Justin Connolly to the likes of the ever dominating YouTube

After over two decades at Disney, platform distribution president Justin Connolly is exiting the entertainment giant to join YouTube as its global head of media and sports, an individual familiar with the matter confirmed to TheWrap.

Following his departure from The Walt Disney Company this month, Disney has now filed a breach of contract lawsuit to stop former president of Disney Platform Distribution Justin Connolly from starting his new role at YouTube.
