Disney has been ordered to pay $43.25 million after thousands of female workers discovered they were making less than their male counterparts and sued the mass media and entertainment company in 2019, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
LaRonda Rasmussen, a product development manager at Walt Disney Studios, and Karen Moore, a former senior copyright administrator for Hollywood Records, waged the class-action lawsuit seeking up to $300 million after they discovered pay disparities among female and male workers doing similar work, an allegation Disney initially denied, THR also revealed.
