It took six months, but Donald Duck has finally been fired
In response to Mansour's tweet in August, Disney tried to distance itself from him, saying he was on contract with a third-party dubbing company and therefore not a direct employee.
Nevertheless, on February 6 Mansour tweeted again to inform his followers the he was "proud" of being laid off by Walt Disney.
Abigail Disney, the grandniece of Disney's founder Walt Disney, blasted Mansour's statements on Twitter, calling them "repellent, of course."
It's about time.In early January actress Meryl Streep spoke at the National Board of Review, where she slammed Walt Disney, the founder of Disney, for being a "hideous anti-Semite" who "formed and supported an anti-Semitic industry lobby."The Independent notes that Abigail Disney expressed her support for Streep's assessment on Facebook, saying she "loved" her remarks, and backing her accusations of anti-Semitism and misogyny.
