House of Mouse is Way Harsh
Nina Jacobson, the only openly gay movie studio exec that we know of, got canned yesterday after 8 years as president of the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group. The news is a bit shocking considering Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean sequel is such a monster hit, and the choicest detail of her firing wasn’t lost on the LA Times. Her boss fired her over the phone while she was at the hospital after her partner had given birth to their third child.
