David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance released a statement Monday after California attorney general Rob Bonta abruptly canceled the two sides’ planned meeting, alleging Paramount had leaked confidential discussions about the Warner Bros. Discovery case.

“We share AG Bonta’s concerns about the public discussions and misreporting that has surrounded this deal,” Paramount said in a statement sent to Variety. “As we have assured the Attorney General’s office, Paramount has not been the source of the leaks of any of our confidential discussions with the AG’s office. We remain hopeful and stand ready to continue good-faith discussions to resolve the Attorneys General suit and move forward with our plans for increased competition and increased output to the benefit of the talent and entertainment workers.”
