Not long after a judge ruled to throw out the federal case Disney had filed against Ron Desantis, a new suit has been filed against the entertainment company. An actress, known for her character Cara Dune on the Disney+ Star Wars series, is suing Disney for discrimination and wrongful termination, and she is being backed by Elon Musk.
The political tête-à-tête between the Walt Disney Company and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) has largely dominated headlines since it began, and there are no signs that it will be stopping anytime soon.

While Disney has just appealed the judge’s ruling in the federal case, the state case filed by the CFTOD has continued on with less fanfare. For reference, the CFTOD lawsuit came shortly after Disney filed a lawsuit against the Board and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with the Board officially filing its own suit in May 2023 and Disney filing a countersuit in August. But now, we have an update on the CFTOD’s case against Disney.

TSG, a film financier, filed a lawsuit against Disney (and 20th Century Fox Film Corporation — “Fox”) in Los Angeles Superior Court for not getting their share of the profits for movies they had financed for Fox. TSG had alleged that Disney/Fox had breached their contract by using “nearly every trick in the Hollywood accounting book” to “deprive” TSG of “hundreds of millions of dollars.” Now, several months later, there has been an update on the suit.
