• The lawsuit, filed in 2019, was brought by two long-time Disney employees - product development manager LaRonda Rasmussen and senior copyright administrator Karen Moore - who accused the company of paying them less than their male counterparts for similar work.
• The settlement is believed to be one of the largest classes ever suing under an equal pay act claim, comprising women employed by Disney across various divisions including movie production, record labels, theme parks, and more.
