SEATTLE - The Walt Disney Company, one of the biggest and most influential entertainment and media empires in the world, will have to pay millions of dollars to settle a lawsuit that has been on the legal radar since 2019.
After a settlement agreement reached on Nov. 25, Disney has agreed to pay $43 million to settle a lawsuit that it paid female employees in California less than their male counterparts in similar roles within the company for nearly eight years. That means that each woman would get around $5,000.
