Harvey was a sex pest, other sex pests aren't going to do much to help put him away.
This (these) lawsuits not only effect these women as actors, but also as producers, aka the money people. Other money people are going to be very interested in whether or not contracts mean anything.
I assume the Jungle Cruise release effects the Rock less since his production company was on board and, unlike an individual, I bet they are getting a cut of the streaming revenue.

I just have a hard time giving a shit about these two women who play pretend for a living and get paid more than most people in their entire lifetimes, complaining that they got screwed.
Yeah, maybe it is a contract violation, but I don't fucking care.
They can go cry about it to the media who make it seem like the worst fucking thing in the world. Where was Entertainment Weekly when I got screwed out of my 3% raise that amounted to a couple grand last year? Oh, they didn't care to write about that one?
I guess it's not nearly as tragic as Scarlett missing out on an extra $2 million on top of the $20 million she was already paid out.

Considering the Disney+ release generated from what I heard $60 million dollars, she got screwed for millions of dollars.
The actors take a smaller paycheck at the startup, for an exchange of the gross numbers. It works for both sides since no studio want to pay $50-million upfront to the actor before the movie is even completed.
For Avengers she took home $14 million and 5% of gross sales, totaling 35 something million.
even at 5%(very doubtful since she was the bill actress) for a 60 million disney plus debut, would have given her an extra 3 million.
Also she is not the only one in this situation. Denzel and Wahlberg are in a similar situation with their upcoming films
Why Scarlett Johansson Is Suing Disney Over Black Widow
The suit will likely have a major impact on whether studios decide to release major films already in the can to streaming services as the pandemic threatens to surge for a fourth wave in the U.S.

That's not what I said.
I just don't care. Is it fucked? Yeah.
Is it worse than what normal people go through? Absolutely not.
Sitting here arguing about how unfair it is a multi-millionaire is getting screwed out of a couple extra million dollars while most people here are making a fraction of what she's getting screwed out of is ridiculous.

dude you sound like those commies who talk about wealth distribution. contracts need to be honored. if a megacorp can just decide , nah we arent giving you more money, try and stop us. and they get away with it, thats bad for everyone.

I've been in the contracts business for the last decade. Plenty is people get screwed in contracting.
I'm sorry I just can't seem to muster any give a shits for anyone in Hollywood. Their whole industry is full of assholes, and so seeing millionaires bitch at billionaires for fucking them doesn't really matter to me.

I get that... Would you be as apathetic if the person being screwed over by a shady contract was just some average Joe?
Personally I think you either have to care about both or neither. Either all contract shenanigans bother you or none of them do.
Being rich doesn't change the fact that a company is trying to screw over their employee.
But I digress

apparently her contract has some arbitration clauses and people are saying that makes a legal challenge a bit weaker/harder

Scarlett Johansson’s ‘Black Widow’ Lawsuit Is Game-Changing, But May Be Legally Weak
From an arbitration provision to some possibly valid justifications for streaming the superhero film, why Disney should be favored to beat the actress in a case that will by closely watched.

I could be effectively career ending, but if it snowballs big enough it could end up being a thing.
