He literally wrote a hit single about how horrible she is (and bear in mind that he didn’t know about the dognapping - he just didn’t like Cruella). That’s a pretty easy case for her to win.

Still, the real villain of the story is the wicked witch who set upon a minor child and then cursed him and his employees when he refused to invite her into his home.
