Reported from E! News, Saturday (31/07/2021), the artist's agency responded to a Disney statement linking Scarlett Johansson's demands to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Just to emphasize, Disney called the demands of the Marvel star very sad because it ignores the long global impact of the pandemic.
"They have shamelessly and wrongly accused Miss Johansson of being insensitive to the global Covid-19 pandemic, seeking to make it into a form that they and I know is not," CAA Co-Chairman Bryan Lourd said in a statement.
CAA also confirmed that so far Scarlett has partnered with Disney in 9 films that have created billions of dollars for this giant industry.
Payout 20 Million US Dollars
CAA also responded to another statement by Disney which claimed it had fulfilled its employment contract with Scarlett Johansson, and had paid the actress US$20 million to date. Disney's move to mention Scarlett Johansson's fee was also criticized by the CAA. "This industry pays for a job, in an attempt to weaponize his success as an artist and businessman, as if it were a sport," Lourd said.
Proud of Marvel
He added, "Scarlett takes great pride in her work and the actors, writers, directors, producers and creative team of Marvel, have not been a part of it for over a decade." Lourd is back like the Scarlett problem at Disney.
Breach of Contract
Lourd explained, this request was made because Disney was thought to have plans to violate Scarlett Johannson's contract. The trick is with the benefits of streaming and the benefits of Disney without taking Scarlett into account. Finally, he regretted Disney's statement that he thought it was a direct attack on the actress' personality. Disney has no opinion on this statement
