Warner Bros. Discovery is laying off Karen Horne, a respected executive who had overseen diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the storied film and television company in Burbank.Warner Bros. Discovery announced Horne’s departure to staff on Wednesday, sources told The Times.
She joined the company in March 2020 — two months before George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis — when previous owner AT&T was bolstering the entertainment company’s commitment to diversity in an effort to create a model for the industry. Soon, a global outcry over Floyd’s beating death by police officers spurred legions of companies, including many in Hollywood, to step up their commitment to promoting the talents and voices of underrepresented groups.
In a memo sent to staff members, Sadiq wrote that Horne’s departure was part of a reorganization and not a shift in the group’s focus. He said the company planned to launch a search for a new vice president to head diversity and inclusion for its North American business units. Horne, who is Black, came to Warner Bros. from NBC, where she had been in charge of programming talent development at NBC Entertainment and Universal Television.
Her Warner Bros. Discovery company biography credits Horne with creating and developing diversity programs that have become “the industry’s gold standard and a blueprint for many other companies.”After thousands of layoffs, stock woes and program cancelations, Warner Bros. Discovery has created a $27-million bonus pool for top executives and also increased incentive awards for its chief executive, David Zaslav.
