Ex-Disney Child Star Alleges On-Set Abuse, Sues Studio for Negligence

Former Disney child actor Raquel Lee, now 39, filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company alleging negligence after she says she was sexually abused by a Disney employee during filming of the 2001 Disney Channel movie The Poof Point when she was 14. The suit claims the employee gave her alcohol and assaulted her multiple times, including at a Salt Lake City hotel and on a flight back to California, with production failing to supervise and even blaming her for a deteriorating performance. Disney is accused of canceling an upcoming role rather than investigating. Lee seeks economic and emotional damages, punitive damages, and legal fees. She has since done Disney work and appeared in a 2024 docuseries about kids on TV.

Disney Faces Negligence Suit Over Alleged 2001 On-Set Abuse During Poof Point

Raquel Lee Boileau, who starred in Disney Channel’s The Poof Point (2001), alleges in an LA Superior Court negligence suit that Disney knew a male on-set predator was abusing her and did nothing to stop it. The filing references California’s updated survivor-laws allowing childhood-sexual-abuse claims to be filed later and, in some cases, for triple damages when an institution concealed abuse. The action follows a prior 2015 settlement connected to a Poof Point cast member and comes as Disney has declined to comment on the new allegations.
