Part 8/11:
Deo’s lawyer alleges that Disney and Marvel have a pattern of using ambiguous or unfair contractual language to silence employees or suppress the truth. Deo claims that he was reported to HR but was unfairly accused and dismissed, implying that internal systems may be compromised to protect corporate interests. The lawyer has hinted that Disney's contracts may contain clauses that silence employees or prevent them from speaking publicly about misconduct.
This legal tension underscores broader issues about corporate transparency, employee rights, and how Hollywood handles allegations of misconduct. Critics argue that despite high-profile cases, Hollywood remains reluctant to convincingly hold its powerful figures accountable, often opting for damage control instead.
