“X-Men ’97” creator #BeauDeMayo’s attorney released a statement Friday in response to Disney stating that the showrunner had been fired from the animated series revival over “egregious” misconduct. Citing previous experience with Disney, Bryan Freedman said in a statement that the company was “Family friendly on the outside, but secretly attempting to plant illegal unconscionable items in contracts that silence the truth and stop the employee/customer from asserting basic constitutional rights.” He promised an impending legal response. DeMayo kicked off a string of back and forth between himself and Disney on Thursday evening when he charged the company with pulling his Season 2 credits on #XMen97 over fan art he’d posted of himself in a skimpy X-Men costume for Pride Month. He had completed work on the first two seasons of the series before being fired and replaced for Season 3. Link in bio to read more.
