Mark Curry Reached Settlement With Raquel Lee Before She Sued Disney

Key Points:

• Former child actress Raquel Lee has sued The Walt Disney Co. for negligence, alleging sexual abuse and assault by a middle-aged male employee during the 2001 filming of the Disney Channel movie The Poof Point when she was 14.
• Lee previously reached a confidential settlement with actor Mark Curry, who played her father in The Poof Point, in 2015; Curry and Lee have not commented on the settlement, and Disney declined to discuss the litigation.
• Lee’s lawsuit claims the perpetrator made sexually explicit jokes on set, assaulted her in a hotel room and on a flight, and harassed her openly while coworkers witnessed the behavior, with no intervention from Disney staff.
• The suit alleges Disney ignored her trauma, criticized her changed behavior, and canceled her role in a future production, though Lee later worked on Disney Channel’s The Proud Family and its revival on Disney+.
• Lee’s current legal representation is by Doug Wigdor, a specialist in employment and sexual misconduct cases, while she has spoken publicly about the impact of on-set abuse in the industry but not specifically about The Poof Point claims.
