The Bitter Taste of Ageism: Aronson's Lawsuit Exposes Paramount's Dark Side Chris Aronson's lawsuit against Paramount Pictures raises uncomfortable questions about ageism in the entertainment industry.
As a seasoned executive with decades of experience at Fox, Aronson was let go from Paramount last year as part of a broader executive shakeup following the Skydance merger.
Aronson, 69 at the time of his departure, was informed that he would be fully paid out on his contract, only to have Paramount later claim that it could only pay him for two years.
