No I think he was actually handsy. They had someone whose job was to specifically wrangle Lasseter. Brilliant creative but if nothing else did not respect boundaries.

The women at Pixar had developed a defensive move to prevent him from putting his hand on their thighs and named it after him. That's more than just not respecting boundaries.

Oh for sure, I was stating the bare minimum. Sometimes it's easier to find points of agreement. I don't think Lasseter should be within 30 feet of women.
How do you know what Iger felt?
Are you one of his Inside Out emotions?
This is just making stuff up because of Iger Derangement Syndrome.
The Me Too movement is about exposing people who did bad things and insisting it be dealt with. That's why Lasseter is out, not because of made-up fantasies of being hated by Iger.

I felt so sorry for Lasseter's wife when I learned what a pig he is.

Hating Iger for his greed, cynicism and morals (if he has any) is anything but deranged.

The derangement syndrome, however, is making up stuff (you know: lying) to feed the burning anger and saying it out loud as if it were a true fact that is verifiable by witnesses or documentation.

A bit off topic, but plot threads like that to me kind of make the TVA and Kang a bit of a head scratcher and a can of worms. They go after Loki, but don't show up when three extremely dangerous variants (Gamora, Nebula, and FREAKIN THANOS) leave their timeline. And since they keep Infinity Stones like paper weights, it can't be said "they were too strong1!" for the TVA to go after.

Great times under Iger? He poured billions of dollars into a park in a country that wants to crush the USA. Meanwhile, Epoct is being turned into a park based on IP. FYI, Magic Kingdom already exists no need for two in Orlando. Epcot was already far from what Walt wanted, but at least it was focused on showcasing new technology. Now it is so far from that, it is almost irreversible. Bob Chapic appears like he is just going to cut spending on an already disastrous plan for Epcot. By the time it is done, you will want to spend more time at Six Flags.

They kind of handwave that away, though, by suggesting they were all supposed to leave their timelines and it's all part of the standard timeline they're maintaining. It's pretty easy to say everything that happened was always intended to happen (and why Doctor Strange only saw one timeline where they win -- it's the one the TVA was maintaining and they were on board with everything happening in it).
I'm sure that's why the season ended the way it did, though, so as to avoid that issue in the future.

Not surprising billions of dollars of revenue were at stake,
The only reason Disney did not buy Pixar before is Eisner refused to do buisness with ‘The Long haired hippie’ aka Steve Jobs once Eisner was gone Iger held his nose and signed on the bottom line.
Disney war has all the gory details.

Lasseter burned through all his political capital with DCA and Cars Land, Iger wanted what we got at WDW and hated Lasseter with a burning hate it was so bad @WDW1974 wrote about it more than onceWhat we are hearing is the Iger/Zenia Mucha side. We’ve never heard the Lasseter side.
Just think about all the creatives Iger fired over the last 15 years. including Joe Rohde.
Now none of this excuses his behavior while under the influence or otherwise but the old Disney would have gotten himself some help rather throw a key creative overboard and let him drink himself to death.
Lassiter did have his own demons to deal with. There was a story that he even needed an assistant to follow him around to ensure he was not behaving badly.
@WDW1974 also hated Iger with a burning hate and never failed to make him look bad by passing on so-called insider news.
But "Spirit" never sat on the Board of Directors for Disney. Given his hatred of Iger, I can't imagine they were in the same circle of friends vacationing together and sipping Margaritas together at Martha's Vineyard.
So, where did Spirit get this info? Iger himself? Iger's family? Someone who was harassed by Lasseter and willing to poison his well?
If you take Spirit's accounts of insider corporate intrigue of which he was (AFAIK) never an insider as being the plain facts, I've got real estate I'd like to show you...
Not saying Iger was universally loved. Just saying the source is questionable and taking it as 'fact' is gullible.
