Disney was probably inundated with demands from other on air talent to reinstate the employee. They then made the calculated judgment that maintaining good employee relations was on balance better served by putting the employee back on the assembly line. This is all usual and standard business. Anyone on here that has ever worked a job has contract that says what they can and cannot do while in the employ of the company.

People absolutely have the right to self identify in public as a person who accepts corporate PR statements as objective reality.

It's not for everyone, but each to their own.
