There is nothing more important to Shari Redstone at this moment in time than her fight against rising antisemitism. I know because she’s told me. I know because she said so just this week. 

“I’ve been fighting racism and antisemitism for a long time, but after Oct. 7, it became my life,” the executive chairwoman of Paramount Global said at a screening for a heart-rending new documentary, “Children of October 7,” airing on Paramount+ and one of her networks, MTV. “It became the most important thing that I can do with my time — that I can teach my children, that I can bring people together to not just watch this movie but to share this with people they know, to tell the truth, to tell the stories.”
