Victoria Alonso's attorney trashes claim she was fired over ‘Argentina, 1985

Victoria Alonso’s attorney, Patty Glaser has rejected claims that the Argentine producer was removed from Marvel due to personal project Argentina, 1985.

According to The Hollywood Reporter the Oscar-nominated film was at the center of last week’s abrupt dismissal of longtime Marvel Studios executive Victoria Alonso.

Alonso’s attorney released a statement after the initial publication of the story in which she asserted that Disney and Marvel had made a poor decision.

The statement reads:

“The idea that Victoria was fired over a handful of press interviews relating to a personal passion project about human rights and democracy that was nominated for an Oscar and which she got Disney’s blessing to work on is absolutely ridiculous.”

“ Victoria, a gay Latina who had the courage to criticize Disney, was silenced. Then she was terminated when she refused to do something she believed was reprehensible. Disney and Marvel made a really poor decision that will have serious consequences. There is a lot more to this story and Victoria will be telling it shortly—in one forum or another.”
