Last week, legal representatives from Madonna's camp responded to the class-action lawsuit, leading the plaintiffs, Michael Fellows and Jason Alvarez, to claim they'd reached a settlement agreement with the Material Girl singer. Now, 65-year-old Madonna's legal representation has asked a judge to strike out a settlement notice filed by the plaintiff's lawyer. While they did acknowledge they had been in talks with the plaintiffs' legal reps, they argued the notice of settlement was false, characterising it as a "harassment campaign" and a bid to achieve a payday.

Disney Tried To Get Gina Carano's 'Mandalorian' Lawsuit Quickly Dismissed, But The Judge Said Not So Fast
Whenever a high-profile (and high dollar value) lawsuit is filed, the first thing the side being sued does is try and get the case dismissed. That’s exactly what Disney did after Gina Carano sued the studio following her firing from "The Mandalorian." Disney hoped to get the lawsuit tossed on a First Amendment basis, but the judge has dismissed that claim, and the suit will move forward, at least for now. Disney argued in front of U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett that the studio had the right to sever its relationship with Carano because she did not espouse viewpoints that the company agreed with. According to THR, the judge stated that the First Amendment could not be used as a shield to potentially violate discrimination laws. Carano is arguing that in firing her she was discriminated against and that the studio violated California labor laws in terminating her.
