If I were Disney, I would be very worried.
O’Keefe’s announcement was charged with drama and suspense. “The Disney Tapes,” he declared in a video clip, set to release on June 20, 2024. “That’s right, USA,” O’Keefe confirmed, hinting at the potential magnitude of the revelations to come.

This isn’t the first time Disney has found itself under scrutiny. Previously, Christopher Rufo exposed internal videos suggesting that Disney had a “not at all secret gay agenda” aimed at incorporating LGBTQ themes into its content for young audiences. The footage revealed Disney executive producer Latoya Raveanu candidly discussing the company’s inclusive initiatives, particularly within the animated children’s series “The Proud Family.”
Raveanu’s comments were striking. She spoke openly about the support she received from Disney leadership for her efforts to include LGBTQ elements in the show. “Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to like, my like, not-at-all secret gay agenda,” Raveanu stated. She reminisced about a time when such openness might not have been possible, acknowledging a cultural shift within the company.
“They’re turning it around, and then all that momentum that I felt, that sense of ‘I don’t have to be afraid,’ let’s have these two characters kiss in the background… wherever I could, I was basically adding queerness to the show,” she said, reflecting on the freedom she felt to include LGBTQ representation in “The Proud Family.”
These revelations sparked a heated debate, drawing both praise and criticism. Supporters applauded Disney’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, while critics accused the company of pushing a specific agenda. The impending release of O’Keefe’s “The Disney Tapes” is likely to reignite these discussions, potentially uncovering new dimensions of Disney’s internal policies and practices.
As the countdown to June 20 continues, all eyes are on O’Keefe and the contents of these tapes. Will they shed new light on Disney’s internal workings, or simply add fuel to an already contentious debate? The anticipation builds, with many eager to see what O’Keefe’s latest investigation will reveal.
