Johansson recalls Disney’s aggressive response to her lawsuit; she said she was sad and disappointed. For her, it was such a surreal moment because we were isolated and just sort of emerging a little bit. She said she was also really heavily pregnant, which, in a weird way, was amazing timing. 

She further added that, suddenly, your entire attention is drawn to this miracle of life. So, she had the most wonderful distraction in the world, and soon after, she had a beautiful baby.
