Fired 73-Year-Old Business Analyst Drops Age Discrimination & Retaliation Lawsuit Against Disney – Update


A 73-year-old woman who was fired from Disney has dropped her lawsuit alleged she was terminated in 2023 because of her age and other factors.

UPDATED, 8:52 AM: A 73-year-old woman who was fired from Disney has dropped her lawsuit alleged she was terminated in 2023 because of her age as well as a medical disability and that management refused to explain why she was the only member of her department laid off. “As Violante got older, she became subjected to a campaign of discrimination and harassment based on her age,” the 34-page document from employment law specialists Yadegar, Minoofar & Soleymani LLP goes on to claim. Specially, having been a much-rewarded employee expecting “voluntary retirement” at some point down the line, Violante details in her legal action how things started to spoil after she was one of the last members of her department brought back from the company’s pandemic furlough in 2020.
