Former X-Men '97 director Bo De Maio is looking for a quick legal partner as his partner. Legal battle with Disney He continues to get angry.
The cartoonist’s attorney, Brian Friedman, appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on his complaint on Day 3. The main thrust of the case, obtained by TheWrap, involves trying to remove the alleged “unlawful disposal of non-consumption” of DeMayo’s exit package.
“DeMayo, who seeks to provide details of his former employment at Marvel through OnlyFans, witnessed and supported rampant discriminatory and abusive behavior during his years at the company,” the document states. “Aware that DeMayo had extensive knowledge of Marvel’s unlawful and unsafe business practices, the company sought to silence DeMayo as part of his forced resignation.”
The documents continue: “Backed by an army of experienced labor lawyers, Marvel intentionally inserted an illegal, non-expendable provision designed to silence a gay black man and restrict his legal rights. In fact, Marvel used this unfair provision to justify the disastrous removal of two of DeMayo’s credits from the popular “X-Men ’97” series.
In a fourth-party statement to TheWrap, Friedman intends to remove the non-depreciation clause from DeMayo’s NDA.
“There are only two possible explanations for why Marvel and Disney entered into an NDA that clearly violates California’s fundamental laws,” Friedman said. “Believers, either the hundreds of Marvel and Disney lawyers advising over 250,000 executives made a mistake or Marvel knowingly and intentionally tried to silence Beau so they could have complete control over why he is no longer at Marvel, why his Season 2 credits were removed and why he was not invited to appear at the awards show demonstrating his hard work to win an Emmy. Violating Beau’s legal rights in California will cost Marvel this case, but more importantly, Marvel can no longer prevent the truth from being revealed.”
DeMayo defended himself on OnlyFans this week in a 30-minute video. Neely, he asserted that Marvel and Disney are conducting a “smear campaign designed to discredit them, in order to cover up the more blatant and damaging behavior that extends from select members of the X-Men ‘97 team,” both Marvel. Studies.
The fact that working at Marvel was a “toxic environment” with “near-criminal working conditions.” The second element, Marvel's work environment “turns individuals against each other, feeding paranoia to ensure compliance.”
Marvel revealed in August that DeMayo had been fired after an internal investigation into the former showrunner.
“Mr. DeMayo was fired in March 2024 following an internal investigation,” a Marvel spokesperson said in a statement at the time. “Given the egregious nature of the revelations, we immediately severed ties with him and have no further involvement with Marvel.”
