A longtime executive has hit the House of Mouse with a lawsuit citing discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"After his sexual orientation became known to his superiors and after being discriminated against and put on a dead-end career track and repeatedly denied promotions with no remedy or relief from HR, Plaintiff is informed and believes that yet again, in or around April 2021, several promotions occurred, but Plaintiff once again was not promoted," continues the 10-page filing for sexual orientation discrimination and failure to prevent discrimination in violation of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (read the suit here). "Plaintiff is informed and believes that these promotions occurred despite representations that Disney was hurting financially and not promoting." The named defendants are the Walt Disney Company, ABC Signature Studios, Inc., and Riverside Television Services LLC.More Related News
