Look, I agree that celebrities shouldn't be on Twitter. Nothing good ever comes from that.
But she wasn't fired for "being a dumbass on Twitter", her Twitter itself is ironclad proof that she was fired strictly for being a Conservative, for espousing Conservative viewpoints on her off-time on her own personal forum. Which is illegal. You can't do that. Even in "at-will employment" situations, there are things that are illegal to use as justification to fire someone, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
I don't have a horse in the race; I don't watch the show and I don't really even know who she is. But she's got a case if she wants to try and squeeze Disney for a wrongful termination suit. She'll absolutely get a settlement just to make her go away, because if it actually gets in front of a judge she might actually win. Therefore, Disney would rather just pay her a much smaller amount just to make her get lost.
Teachers get fired for this kinda thing all the time, too. Most of them file suit, and they usually get a settlement, and it goes away.
That's what she should do. Why not? If a teacher who got fired for going to a Trump rally can get a bunch of money from the school board, surely this one can get a few million in severance from Disney if she shakes their cage a bit. If she doesn't, then she's an idiot.
