Doctor: Redstone Has "Mild To Severe Dementia"

Sumner Redstone
A doctor evaluating Viacom/CBS' Sumner Redstone claims that he has “mild to severe dementia.”

Dr. Stephen Read, who is a witness for Redstone’s former girlfriend, Manuel Herzer, told a packed LA courtroom that the 92-year-old media mogul, “has impaired short and long term memory that is between mild and severe, but towards severe.”

According to The NY Post, the mogul, who until February was the highly paid executive chairman of both Viacom and CBS, is unable to identify different colors, the doctor said.

Redstone is at the center of a battle over his healthcare. That battle is being waged by his former galpal, Manuela Herzer, who was booted from Redstone’s home and as his main care giver after he discovered she was preventing other women from communicating with him.

Dr. Read, appearing on day one of the week long trial, said Redstone’s relatives play him recorded sports events and make sure that Redstone’s bets always pay-off even while the aging former lawyer, can’t identify his team.
