The unexpected legal action sparked accusations that it was a staged PR stunt. Disney countered with a harsh accusation, leading Johansson’s lawyer to denounce it as a misogynistic attack.
Before reaching trial, the lawsuit was settled. While speaking toThe Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson made it clear that she hopes her lawsuit with Disney will have a positive impact on the film industry as a whole.
“It’s an evolving time where there’s this huge sea change happening, and as my daughter [Rose] told me the other day, you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs.
“It was a very surreal time because, of course, the film had come out and was hugely successful and that was a big celebration. I had a baby and that was obviously a life-changing, amazing, celebratory thing. In a way, that sort of buoyed me through the very uncertain, stressful time. I feel mostly very fortunate that nobody will have to go through what I went through and that it’s made, I think, a positive impact in the industry and hopefully for artists and creatives’ lives and livelihood.”
