Just as its various social media accounts were rolling out rainbow-themed Pride Month posts, Disney was hit with an anti-discrimination lawsuit from a long-time executive.
Attorneys for ABC-Signature Vice President Joel Hopkins filed a ten-page complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 1, alleging sexual orientation discrimination and failure to prevent discrimination in violation of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. “Plaintiff has direct and repeated complaints to HR about the discrimination he has endured while employed by Defendants,” the complaint states, “and, concomitantly, the related failures to promote him and to pay him at the same level as other department heads.”
