Disney Pushes to Keep the Lawsuit With Scarlett Johansson Private
Scarlett Johansson’s lawyers want their day in court.
The legal team responded over the weekend to a court filing from Disney seeking private arbitration of her “Black Widow” lawsuit.
“After initially responding to this litigation with a misogynistic attack against Scarlett Johansson, Disney is now, predictably, trying to hide its misconduct in a confidential arbitration,” John Berlinski, an attorney at Kasowitz Benson Torres who represents Johansson, said in a statement Saturday.
“Why is Disney so afraid of litigating this case in public?” he asked.
