GH Spoilers: Alum Ingo Rademacher Claims New Evidence Shows He Was Fired Over His “Political” Views

General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that former star Ingo Rademacher (Jasper “Jax” Jacks) has just brought new evidence forward in his court battle against American Broadcast Company (ABC)’s dismissal of him last year.

According to RadarOnline.com the new evidence is in regard to the actor’s lawsuit against, “ABC (owned by the Walt Disney Company) for discrimination.”

Rademacher’s legal team has asked the court for permission to amend his lawsuit with the new details noting that, “ABC produced documents that show the company decided to fire Ingo before it even adopted the vaccination policy because he did not share the company’s preferred political and social views. Ingo did not learn about these actions until he received the documents in discovery.”

The trial is scheduled to begin in February 2023.

The actor’s lawsuit centers on the fact that he was let go for declining to get the network’s mandated COVID-19 vaccination. Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) is the other actor who was let go due to the policy, and both had spent over 20 years on the hit daytime drama.

According to Rademacher, he asked for a religious exemption, and now seeks unspecified damages. Burton has declined to follow a similar path and was recently seen on the Peacock show Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.

The outlet reports that, “ABC has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and said its decision to fire Rademacher was proper.”

A lawyer representing the network argued, “[ABC] had an honest, good-faith belief that all decisions with respect to [Ingo] were made by [ABC] solely for legitimate, business-related reasons.” ABC has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit and noted that if they, “had made an accommodation to the vaccination policy it could have created or increased a health/safety risk for other employees.”

Ingo’s legal team states in a new filing that they have, “uncovered shocking internal ABC communications. He obtained the documents as part of discovery in the case where both parties exchange requested files.”

The actor previously said that his dismissal due to the vaccine policy was “a ruse” and claims that the newly introduced documents reveal that the network ABC, “had plans to terminate his contract by the summer of 2021, before ABC issued the mandatory vaccination policy.”

“Put simply, ABC did not fire Ingo because he did not perform the essential functions of his job. It fired him because it disagreed with political and social views he espoused. It fired him because he did not share the company’s preferred political and social views. That violates the California Labor Code and constitutes a breach of Ingo’s employment agreement,” his lawyer wrote.
