Hong Kong Disney dancers sacked for sexual antics

Four male dancers have been sacked at Hong Kong Disneyland after naked antics in their dressing room were caught on video and circulated among staff, the theme park confirmed Monday...The incident, according to theme-park insiders, involved one of the dancers having his towel forcibly removed and other actions mimicking gay sexual activity. The four dancers, aged 22 to 35, were sacked for gross misconduct and sexual harassment of other employees, Disneyland's vice president for public affairs Lo Bing-chung confirmed in a statement Monday. However, the dancers...claim their antics were no more than "horseplay" and are taking Disney to an industrial tribunal claiming unfair dismissal...Lo, however, responded, "The cast members were involved in acts of a sexually indecent nature that were offensive to, or at least disturbing [to], other employees who witnessed the incident. "We received the video anonymously from concerned cast members...We have received legal advice not to circulate this video.
