Backed by Elon Musk, Gina Carano sues Disney over ‘Mandalorian’ firing
Carano alleges she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media.
Actor and former professional MMA fighter Gina Carano has sued The Walt Disney Co. and Lucasfilm over claims she was wrongfully fired from the series “The Mandalorian” in 2021.
In the suit, which was filed Tuesday in federal court in California, Carano alleges she was fired from her role as rebel warrior Cara Dune for voicing right-wing opinions on social media. She is seeking a court order that would require Lucasfilm to reinstate her or compensate her at least $75,000. Carano claims in the suit that she suffered emotional damage and lost millions of dollars in income.
“A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated,” the lawsuit says. “And so it was with Carano.”
Emotional damage? Ok snowflake, isn't this one of those things people in the GQP make fun of people for all the time? I guess it only matters if it's your feelings?
I'm no fan of Disney as a company, but I hope she loses the suit and has to pay costs.
Free speech does not protect you from anything or anyone but the government itself, if you say deplorable shit in public don't get all upset when you have to face the consequences of your own actions (another thing conservatives love to harp on).
Her contract wasn't renewed.
Conservative entitlement is a hell of a drug.
Actions have consequences, sorry regressives.
