DEI is dead in Hollywood, and it has nothing to do with Trump, it is just the natural evolution of our culture. Companies, including those in the entertainment industry, must shift as the culture changes.
Under the Biden Administration, DEI was front and center and therefore companies adopted those policies into their own management, now that has changed. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) now stands for 'Didn't Earn It'.
DEI is now being replaced with meritocracy as the cultural pendulum swings the other way. Therefore, companies are changing their approach and policies - there's no other choice. Like all things, culture changes. What was culturally relevant and meaningful becomes passe'. Diversity moves on to meritocracy (which in itself is diverse).
I believe companies will continue to adopt and recognize some form of diversity and inclusion. But the demands on society to adjust and accept evolving technologies force the hiring of people with specific skill sets. Meritocracy is color, sex, and ethnic blind. It's not who you are but what you can do.
