A judge in Delaware Chancery Court has ruled against a shareholder who sued Disney for documents regarding its opposition to Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay law. The decision came as a separate, more sweeping lawsuit moves forward in the state, where Disney has sued Gov. Ron DeSantis for retaliation after the company spoke out against the legislation.
Plaintiff Kenneth Simeone called Disney’s decision to oppose the controversial bill negligent since it created a backlash that harmed the stock and business. Judge Lori Will ruled, however, that there’s no evidence of wrondoing and that the plaintiff was a tool of his attorneys, who solicited him to bring the case and drove it forward. “The court must determine whether the plaintiff has demonstrated a proper purpose to inspect books and records. He decidedly has not,” the judge wrote, citing “the lawyer-driven nature of this action.”
Simeone, she said, “testified that he could not recall reading a draft of the demand before it was sent to Disney. He reviewed but made no edits to the Complaint. He did not see the news articles proffered as evidence in support of his claim.”
“The plaintiff and his counsel may disagree with Disney’s position on HB 1557 [The Parental Rights In Education Bill]. But their disagreement is not evidence of wrongdoing.”
Former CEO Bob Chapek publicly pillored the bill at Disney’s 2022 annual meeting on March 9, 2022 under pressure from employees. Gov. DeSantis signed it into law on March 28. The same day, Disney issued a public statement opposing it. DeSantis said the company had “crossed the line.” He later revoked Disney’s special status in the state where it had for years operated a special tax district in Orlando called Reedy Creek

Attorneys for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the Walt Disney Co’s lawsuit against him, claiing it is “meritless” and that the governor has “legislative immunity.”It’s the latest in the legal battle between the Republican presidential hopeful and the studio which began with clashes over Florida’s now-binding “Don’t Say Gay” law and DeSantis’ failed attempts to strip the company’s special district status.“In 1967, a sweetheart deal with the State vested Walt Disney Parks and Resorts (Disney) with unprecedented power to govern itself,” the motion began, referring to the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID). Attorneys went on to bash Disney’s “carte blanche,” writing, “Disney could exercise eminent domain, permitting it to annex territory even outside the District’s borders, all without legislative approval.
