In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, a Disney employee claimed she was sexually assaulted by a former executive, only to have the company retaliate against her after reporting him amid a larger pattern of sexual misconduct.
The suit names Disney, former vice president of distribution Nolan Gonzales, Searchlight and 20th Century as defendants.
The plaintiff, who is listed as a Jane Doe, says that starting in 2015, soon after she was hired, Gonzales, who at the time was an executive director, started sexually harassing her.
Representatives for Disney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from TheWrap. Gonzales could not be reached.
