is stopping to pay marketing on that same platform Gina Carano also claims Disney tweeted care differently compared to co-workers like per Pascal and Mark Hamill who have also been very outspoken online but with the difference that their views are liberal the legal implications on this case are very significant this case could set a precedent for how Disney and other companies as well handle

from 2019 required arbitration which would prevent a court trial they also claimed buying tickets through the Walt Disney parks's website shielded them from the lawsuit this move of course was widely criticized because we all have Disney plus as well many people saw this as an unfair tactic and facing backlash Disney has agreed to drop the arbitration and allow the case to proceed in court but

before the show's Premiere was was due to him posting fan art and discussing lgbtq plus issues which he says is a form of discrimination against him as a gay black man both Marvel and Disney state that he was fired for very serious reason including allegations of sexual misconduct which the Mayo argues are false and part of a scheme to discredit him he also claims he was blocked from attending the emys and ComicCon panels due to this situation interestingly or oddly or funny the Mayo has turned to his only F account to share his side of the story feeling traditional media might not cover it fairly his lawyer on the other hand is challenging the NDA in his separation agreement arguing it is illegal under California law which protects employees rights to report harassment and
