The white sign language performer was kicked out of Broadway’s ‘Lion King’ for his skin color and has quietly settled his federal discrimination case against the theater company that fired him, The Post has learned.

Keith Wann and the Theater Development Fund – a nonprofit that provides ASL performers to Broadway shows – resolved the dispute out of court just two weeks after Wann filed his lawsuit and The Post published a report on the front page.

“The issue between me and TDF has been resolved and both parties are satisfied with the discussions that followed,” Wann wrote in a social media post announcing the settlement. “I look forward to the review of the resulting process to hopefully benefit the performing profession.”

Wann filed a lawsuit Nov. 8 after he and another performer, Christina Mosleh, were asked to step down from production in April so they could be replaced by black sign language experts, according to the report. lawsuit and emails obtained by The Post.

“Keith Wann, while an incredible ASL performer, is not a black person and therefore should not portray The Lion King,” said Shelly Guy, ASL Director for “The Lion King,” to Lisa Carling, director of the Theater Development Fund. accessibility programs, in an email.

Wann’s decision to take the case to court has drawn backlash from the deaf community online.

“You have disgusted me,” Randy Spann, host of the deaf talk show The Real Talk with Randy, said in a video response to Wann’s lawsuit. “Enough is enough. Let black people take advantage of their opportunities to be in the spotlight.

In a viral TikTok video, deaf performer Raven Sutton lambasted Wann for her decision to sue the theater troupe.

“It’s not discrimination,” Sutton signed off on the video, which has been viewed more than 57,000 times. “Reverse racism is not a thing. Stop taking all the jobs when we have black performers who are the best fit. Wipe away your own white tears because we’re not going to do it for you.

Many Post readers and other members of the deaf community came out in force to support Wann and condemn the outrage he faced.

“I’m baffled by the hate,” Jared Allebest, a deaf civil rights attorney, told The Post. “There are people who justify why they don’t support him through the prism of racial identity politics”

In Wann’s statement this week, the performer addressed the criticism he has faced online and the debates his trial has generated.

“Over the past week I have seen a lot of pain in our community and I have also seen much needed conversations,” Wann wrote. “It is unfortunate that assumptions were made and conclusions drawn without all the facts.”
