Soap actor discusses lawsuit and political discrimination following ABC termination
Veteran Soap Opera Actor Ingo Rademacher Sues ABC Over Vaccine Mandate
In a dramatic turn of events, beloved soap opera actor Ingo Rademacher, famous for his role in “General Hospital,” is taking legal action against Disney-owned ABC. The reason? Rademacher claims he was fired for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19. However, his legal team has uncovered evidence suggesting a deeper motive behind his termination: political animus.
“ABC had a duty to accommodate Ingo,” reads one of Rademacher’s team’s legal filings. “Instead, it put him through a sham process that was designed to fail, and which was meant to cover up the real reason for Ingo’s termination: his political views.”
In an interview with Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham on Morning Wire, Rademacher reveals the shocking discoveries made during the legal discovery process. He also reaffirms his unwavering commitment to free speech.
“I was fired for not complying with the vaccine mandate,” Rademacher told Basham. “But I had kind of suspicions about maybe that it was political, because in 2020, I started speaking out, started speaking my political views on my social media accounts, my Twitter and my Instagram, because I thought that was my right — little did I know.”
Rademacher’s legal team worked tirelessly to expose the political bias against him, despite ABC lawyers’ initial denial of such evidence.
“At the last minute, all of a sudden, they found a bunch of emails and text messages that showed the political animus towards me,” he said. “And that included emails and text messages between cast and crew. One of them was a producer calling me an ignorant racist — just name-calling for no reason. I think that kind of just shows the depth that Hollywood goes to in order to cover up the political discrimination.”
Rademacher points to actress Gina Carano, who was fired from Disney-owned Lucasfilm in 2021, as a prime example of political discrimination.
“When she started speaking out against the narrative, they started looking for any post of hers that they could use to fire her,” he explained. “And they didn’t even hide it.”
Rademacher believes he became a target when he expressed his opinions on COVID and transgenderism. He questioned the effectiveness of the vaccine in stopping the spread, a sentiment echoed by Pfizer chairman Albert Bourla. Additionally, he voiced concerns about biological males who identify as transgender participating in women’s spaces and achievements.
“I’ve never said anything to anybody about not taking the vaccine, this was literally just — we shouldn’t have vaccine passports,” Rademacher clarified. “And you know, that they were really, really upset about that. They were talking about recasting me, and things like that.”
Despite the challenges he has faced, Rademacher remains a staunch advocate for freedom of speech and believes in the importance of open debate.
“It’s still her freedom to speak, that is the most important thing to protect. And that’s one of the main things I think that we’re fighting for — besides the vaccine mandate being unconstitutional, and the religious exemption being denied. Freedom of speech is at the heart of a well-functioning country; we have to have debate and nobody wants to debate anymore. They just want to call you names, try to smear you as much as possible, which is what happened with me.”
Rademacher estimates that a significant number of performers and industry professionals in Hollywood are suppressing their views out of fear of job loss and blacklisting.
“I’m gonna be guessing it’s probably somewhere close to half the people at work with me, that their views do not align with the current media narrative and Hollywood — they are more on my side of this than anything else,” the actor revealed. “The people who do agree with my views, or are afraid to speak up — you get private messages, you get phone calls from friends, and they’re like, ‘Man, you have a lot of courage. But I just can’t do it, I just can’t fight the fight.’”
Despite the personal sacrifices he has made, Rademacher remains resolute in his fight for equal rights and freedom of speech.
“From a spiritual perspective, I do believe that I was kind of chosen for this fight, because I wasn’t going to back down,” Rademacher added. “And let me just say to everybody, suing is not fun. It has completely thrown our lives upside down. We had to move from an amazing community for my kids; they had a great life there and I had to tear them away from that life. They destroy lives when they don’t stand for equal rights for everybody and freedom of speech. And yes, everybody is afraid to speak up in Hollywood, and when you do, they find a way very quickly to get rid of you.”
The battle between Ingo Rademacher and ABC serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting individual liberties and fostering an environment where diverse opinions can thrive.
What are the boundaries of employer mandates and the protection of individual rights in relation to vaccine requirements for employees?
E itself, but really, freedom of speech is paramount,” he expressed.
Rademacher’s case against ABC raises important questions about the boundaries of employer mandates and the protection of individual rights. Can an employer require its employees to receive a vaccine? And can an individual be fired for expressing their political views? These questions are at the core of Rademacher’s legal battle.
The case also sheds light on a deeper issue within the entertainment industry—the suppression of differing viewpoints. In an industry that often prides itself on diversity and inclusion, it is concerning to see individuals silenced or punished for expressing opinions that deviate from the mainstream narrative.
Rademacher’s experience is not unique. Many individuals across various sectors have faced repercussions for expressing their political beliefs. This raises concerns about the state of our society, where open dialogue and respectful debate seem to be disappearing.
The implications of this case extend beyond Rademacher himself. It raises awareness about the need for a society that embraces diverse perspectives and values individual rights. If someone as well-known and respected as Rademacher can face such consequences for expressing his views, it highlights the potential danger for ordinary individuals with less influence and power.
This case should prompt a reevaluation of corporate policies and the power dynamics within workplaces. It should also encourage individuals to speak up and defend their rights, even in the face of potential backlash.
As Rademacher fights for justice, his case has garnered attention from both supporters and critics. While some argue that employers have the right to establish vaccine mandates to protect the safety of their workforce, others emphasize the importance of free speech and individual autonomy.
In a society that values basic freedoms, it is essential to find a balance between public health concerns and individual rights. The legal battle between Ingo Rademacher and ABC provides an opportunity for a nuanced dialogue on these issues.
Regardless of the outcome, Rademacher’s determination to stand up for his beliefs serves as an inspiration to those who feel silenced or censored in today’s polarized society. His courage to confront a powerful entity like ABC demonstrates the significance of defending one’s principles, even in the face of opposition.
In the end, Rademacher’s lawsuit against ABC serves as a reminder that the right to express one’s views freely should be protected and cherished. It urges us to reexamine the importance of open dialogue, respect for differing opinions, and the preservation of individual liberties in our society.
