Didn't she sue Disney for breach of contract? That doesn't sound like nonsense.

Nope. She sued because she felt she was owed more money. Disney released the movie on their streaming service at the same time as it was released in cinema.

There was no "breach of contract", otherwise she would have won easily. Instead, she and Disney settled out of court. She was just being greedy. Disney probably didn't want the bad publicity and paid her off.

Settling out of court doesn't imply no one did anything wrong lol.

It also doesn't imply one did something wrong. They could just want to "pay the ransom" so their name doesn't get spread through the mud.

I literally never said it did. But you did say it implied the opposite.

Sure, believe what you want to believe. I literally cannot be bothered to educate you.
