Disney Settles Multi-Million Pay Equity Class Action As 2025 Trial Nears


Looking at a May 2025 trial & a $300M price tag, Disney has made a deal with thousands of female employees over their pay equity class action suit

Neither Disney reps nor plaintiffs’ lead lawyer Lori Andrus responded to request for comment from Deadline on the tentative settlement, which was first revealed in a DTLA hearing on October 1. As the parties fought over discovery and document requests, a formal class notice was issued on April 25 this year and sent out to probable plaintiffs via regular mail and email. With the tentative settlement, first reported by Puck, it is worth pointing out the class action and any compensation does not include women employed at Hulu, ESPN, Pixar and previously Fox assets like FX or National Geographic.
