A former Disney World Resort actress has said she was barred from speaking in Spanish while at work, but did so because she enjoyed entertaining park visitors.
The woman, Jessica Tremmel, alleged in a TikTok video last week that she was forbidden from speaking in any language aside from English while dressed as Lady Tremaine.
The character, alternatively known as the “evil stepmother” from Cinderella, only speaks English in the original Disney film – although the Disney classic has been widely translated.
She said Disney did not allow workers to speak foreign languages to visitors even when English was not their first language – and that she enjoyed doing so. She was not punished for doing so, she said..
