Disney Ignored Sexual Assault, Pattern of Abuse by Top Executive, Lawsuit Alleges
A Disney employee has filed a sexual assault and harassment complaint against Disney in connection with a former executive.
The lawsuit against Disney, 20th Century Fox, and Searchlight Pictures targets the actions of former Vice President of Distribution Nolan Gonzales.
The suit charges the companies and Gonzales with sexual harassment, sexual assault and/or battery, retaliation, negligence, disability discrimination and other grievances, including failure to investigate and prevent sexual harassment.
The lawsuit claimed that the sexual harassment she suffered was not limited to her.
“Plaintiff was not Gonzales’s first victim nor his last. Many employees, including those in management, were aware of his sexually harassing behaviors to women within the company and to others in the industry,” the lawsuit said.
