“The idea that Victoria was fired for a handful of press interviews regarding a passionate personal project on human rights and democracy, which was nominated for an Oscar and work for which she won the Disney’s blessing is absolutely ridiculous (…) Disney and Marvel have made a very bad decision that will have serious consequences. There’s a lot more to this story and Victoria will tell it shortly – one way or another. »
