  • Statement by Pierce O'donnell Greenberg
    Statement by Pierce O’Donnell Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP Attorney for Keryn Redstone June 1, 2016 Keryn Redstone Expresses Solidarity With Viacom Directors We are honored to announce that we represent Keryn Redstone, Sumner Redstone’s beloved granddaughter. Keryn has asked us to make the following statement on her behalf: I want to express my support for the Viacom directors who have tried to meet with my grandfather but have been denied access by Shari Redstone, not my grandfather. There is no way that a competent Sumner Redstone, acting of his own free will, would ever refuse to meet with his fellow directors who have been his close friends and allies and so loyal to him over many years. Manuela Herzer and I have also been prevented by Shari from seeing my grandfather. We are two of the persons who were the most devoted to his welfare and protecting him. Shari and her family have managed to totally isolate and effectively kidnap, brainwash, and take advantage of my grandfather due to his debilitated state of mind and frail health. They have lied to him about Manuela Herzer, the loyalty of his long-time friends like Philippe Dauman and George Abrams, and me. So far, Shari and her three adult children have succeeded in reversing decades of my grandfather’s careful estate planning and are poised to seize control of Viacom and CBS. My grandfather (whom I affectionately call “Grumpy”) and I have had a very close and loving relationship ever since I was a little girl. Last September, when his health started rapidly failing, my grandfather and Manuela asked me to move into his house to help with his healthcare needs.
