ScarJo Files Suit Against Disney

[thwhtGuardian]

Yes, I am asserting Disney mismanaged the release of this movie, and they should be required to pay for ScarJo's loss of income that resulted. No employee should be liable for the bad decisions of a handful of executives. It's negligence.

They also had another option: go day and date but negotiate an amicable amount of compensation with the talent involved.

Why is that option being glossed over?

Civil cases draw out for long periods of time. As long as OJs criminal trial was his civil case was much longer. He paid out.

Very astute. They filed a civil case after the criminal case proved beyond doubt that he did what he was accused of, even if the verdict turned out differently. The actual length of either trial doesn't seem to be relevant. The point is the civil case was filled shortly after the completion of the criminal case. Had they waited 10 years, or even two, the result of the civil case might have been very different.

I would include the failure to do that part of mismanagement,

...Her complaint is literally that there was no arbitration.

It usually wouldn’t. Arbitration ain’t legally binding.

A civil case about contracts is also different from a civil case about a death. Contract cases are much easier, all the evidence is on paper.

History is riddled with cases of contract disputes being settled in days, or not being brought at all, because paper is paper.

Her complaint is that there was no arbitration...she is claiming that she voiced concern that her contractually agreed upon earnings could be impacted by a change in release style and that those concerns went unaddressed which is why she's brought it to court.

Wait you are the one claiming if you wait on a contract case like this the better chance you have of losing. Boy her lawyers must be the only smart ones. Either that or Disney paid everyone else or everyone else has the dumb lawyers.

That’s not arbitration, renegotiation is not arbitration. Like I said before arbitration is with a third party arbitrator who hear both sides and rules. The arbitrator only concern is if Disney violated the SAG contract.
It has nothing to do with a lawsuit.

It doesn't take a law degree to understand the concept of "if you thought it was wrong, why didn't you complain two years ago? " every schoolyard understands that. In a court of law you legitimately have provide compelling evidence as a rebuttal.

At this point in the thread, that seems like a circular question.

Next person (or people) that forces me to edit or delete their posts because of their shitty behavior is getting time off from the site. Condescension and disrespect has been going on a lot today (not just this thread), behave or begone.

And Disney will or they will not. But again, for the 19th time my point was never she didn't have a case. I honestly don't know. And I think its presumptuous to assume she does. My point was a contract dispute like this in this environment where a big star worth millions is arguing over a salary dispute in public with a huge corporation worth billions does no one any good at this time. People taking the word of Scarjos lawyers that Disney did not negotiate in good faith considering the circumstances are taking the side of a movie star whom they don't know anything about and her lawyers who are looking for a pay day as well.

Let’s at least wait on Disney’s legal response to the lawsuit.

I will say this she is taking a huge gamble with her career here. Cause if she loses this its not going to look good regarding future work. ( If she cares). So if she wants to be a martyr for 30 million then thats up to her.
