If you can’t make a harmless comment on social media without getting fired for it I’d argue you’re not free. So you don’t think it’s ridiculous for someone to get cancelled for what she said? Welp, America has spoken and the majority don’t agree with Hollywood and that kind of thinking. Same way we didn’t care about all the celebrity endorsements.
Whether harmless or not, a person does have the right to post whatever they want but that doesn't mean they are free from consequence as was pointed out.

I'm sure many of us here work for companies that have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to social media posts.

More concerning are her statements about the world becoming a place she doesn't want to live in. Considering these outbursts, she may inflict self harm. I hope she is finding help at the moment.
I'm pretty sure she isn't going to harm herself. Also I'm pretty sure she has people around her at all times as she has been starring on Broadway, so not to worry.

Can't link her posts due to political rules but it was more than just distaste for a candidate.

I just think it's interesting as Disney usually likes a squeaky clean image (or at least they used to in the past). Guess it shows how much the company (or maybe all of entertainment) has changed.

The Disney image and the princess brand at least used to be very coveted and protected.

Regardless of what political side you are on, surely Disney should've had a social media or PR contract for their Snow White. They at least could distance themselves from her comments with a statement.

Again, she is representing a Disney princess.

The era of Social Media has changed the landscape of Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole, and really the world. The last 10-15 years or so has shown that many studios don't shy away from this stuff anymore, not even Disney. They still try to control the narrative of course, but actors/actresses are their own people essentially their own brand. The days of a studio contract where an actor/actress is tied to one studio long term and the studio controls everything are gone, and it hasn't been that way for a very long time. If an actor/actress goes too far a studio will distance themselves from them, just as Disney has done with others, but by and large they will stay out of an actor/actresses personal life including their social media posts.

Very interesting, guess a lot has changed since the days of Annette Funicello and even Hillary Duff. On one hand it's good these actors have more freedom but on another hand it can't be helping these films/brands that have so much invested already.

In those examples you're talking about child actresses when they worked for Disney. Disney is known for being very strict with their child actors. And yes things have changed, even from 20 years ago when Hilary Duff worked for the Mouse, as there was no social media.

So there is a difference here, as we're talking about an adult actress who has more control over their own career than a child actor/actress under a Disney contract does.

The First Amendment gives Burbank the right to fire any employee who makes any public comment that Burbank feels makes the company look bad. The First Amendment also gives Burbank the right to harass that employee in ANY way they see fit. Including the ability to call business affiliates of that fired employee and harass them to not work with that fired employee any longer. The First Amendment gives Burbank the ability to publicly slander and mock that fired employee and the right to try and shut down and black-list that person's career if they deem so necessary.

Yes,..the First Amendment is THAT powerful folks. And, "your" current employer can use it against "you" in exactly the same way Burbank did to that employee they didn't like.

The First Amendment is an enormously powerful tool for employers to defend themselves and their actions with.

All good people agree on that.....right?

The first amendment doesn’t do any of these things. The Bill of Rights protects you from the government. The government CAN NOT censor your speech, but your employer could. It’s that simple. Have we all passed our 6th grade civics class?

Yeah,...I don't think you get what I just wrote. I'm giving you Burbank's defense. (in "their" mind)

Which employee(s) did Burbank publicly slander and mock?
The case has already been determined that she has standing. Disney lost that initial fight. Now we are in Discovery and the receipts are being collected and the people and executives involved will be called to testify on the stand.

"If" she is telling the truth and the evidence and testimony is there for all to see? She is winning and winning fast.

You can fire somebody,...no problem there. But, you can't harass them and deliberately try to ruin their career. If your current employer did that to you over a tweet? You would also have a great case against them.

Again,.."firing" you is not a problem so much. It's all the OTHER malicious stuff Burbank did that will burn them

Driving home from Disney in September, my wife and kids insisted that we stop at Buc-ee's, which we do not have in our area. I *still* cannot figure out what the big deal is about that place. :)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney avoided working with her again in the future; contrary to what people are implying here, they try to skirt controversy as much as possible. But what are they to do now the filming has wrapped up? Reshoot the whole thing with a different actress? I know some here would love that, but it’s hardly realistic.
As you even mentioned though in another post they have no issues with working with actors/actresses that have controversial pasts. So while I could see them not using her again immediately for some projects, I doubt they will avoid her completely long term.

The First Amendment restricts the government from using its power to interfere with the freedom of its citizens.

It doesn’t apply to what you said above.
