Gina Carano sues Disney, Elon covers legal fees

Former “Mandalorian” Star Gina Carano Sues Disney

Our friend Gina Carano, whom The Daily Wire hired after Disney fired her from “The Mandalorian” for the great⁣ sin of saying that people should not dehumanize one another, is suing ‍The‍ Walt Disney Company.

Gina was⁤ fired from “The Mandalorian” after she posted a meme saying, essentially, that othering can end with murder. I thought⁢ that was ‌a mainstream point of‌ view, but Disney⁣ fired her. So, we ⁣hired her⁢ and she⁣ was in “Terror on the Prairie,” a big win for all involved.

According to Deadline Hollywood:

Three years after ex-MMA fighter Carano was axed by the then Bob Chapek-run ⁣Disney for comparing the political climate in America‍ to Nazi ⁢Germany, Carano on Tuesday sued Disney and Star Wars shingle Lucasfilm for dropping her from the bounty-hunter series – and the X/Tesla owner is paying for ⁣her lawyers.

Elon is paying for her lawyers.

I love​ it.

According to the complaint filed in federal court:

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. And so it was with Carano. ⁢… The rule of law still reigns over the Defendants’ ⁣empire … and Carano has returned to ​demand that⁣ they be ​held accountable for their bullying, discriminatory,​ and retaliatory actions — actions that inflicted not only substantial emotional harm,⁣ but millions of dollars in lost income.

You’ll recall that it was in February 2021, not long after she had been ⁤in “The ⁣Mandalorian,” that Lucasfilm put out a scathing statement on their business with her: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

By the way, ​there was no social⁣ media post​ denigrating‍ anyone based ⁢on‍ cultural or⁢ religious identity at all.

“Defendants​ also discriminated against Carano by treating her differently from her male ⁢co-stars who also made public, political statements on social media,” the lawsuit states.

That is absolutely true. Pedro⁣ Pascal, who is the star of “The Mandalorian,” put out ⁤a meme basically about how illegal ⁤immigrants were being held in detention facilities ⁣like concentration camps.

He put out that tweet — nothing.

“Her male co-stars were not disciplined, let alone terminated in a way to destroy their careers even though some would find their statements⁤ ‘abhorrent,’” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit notes Pascal’s statements as well as guest star Mark‌ Hamill comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

So Carano‍ is amplifying all that. And then Elon Musk put out a statement saying, “Please let us know‌ if you would⁣ like to join the lawsuit against Disney.”

Revenge is best served cold.

Elon tweeted, saying, “If you were discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries (ABC, ESPN, Marvel, etc), just reply to this post to receive legal support,” because⁣ he received from an anonymous source evidence that showed Disney general entertainment content and inclusion standards​ that looked like they violated basic civil rights law and seemed to create all sorts of racist hiring practices.

People are‌ going to take him up on‍ that. I would not be surprised to see Disney sued⁣ from a thousand different directions over that ⁤because DEI (Diversity, Equity, ⁣Inclusion) must, in fact, ‌die.

Elon is doing God’s ⁢work on that one.

What potential implications could arise⁣ from the outcome of Gina Carano’s lawsuit for the ⁢entertainment industry and the broader debate on freedom of speech and expression

Former “Mandalorian” Star Gina Carano Sues ⁤Disney

Gina Carano, ⁢the former star of “The Mandalorian,” has filed a lawsuit against The ‌Walt Disney Company. Carano was fired ⁤from the popular series for expressing her opinion that people should not dehumanize each ⁢other. The Daily Wire, ‌a media outlet,⁣ subsequently ⁣hired Carano after her dismissal from Disney, resulting in a positive outcome for all parties involved.

According ‍to Deadline ​Hollywood,‍ Carano’s lawsuit targets Disney and Lucasfilm, the ⁣production company behind the Star Wars ​franchise. The suit alleges that Carano was unjustifiably dropped from the show, and that Tesla owner Elon Musk is covering her legal fees.

The complaint filed in federal court ⁣claims that Disney and Lucasfilm created an environment where only one perspective was ⁤tolerated,⁣ and those who questioned or failed to comply were not accepted. Carano seeks accountability for what she perceives ‌as bullying, discrimination, and retaliation. She asserts that these actions not‌ only caused significant emotional distress but also resulted in the loss of millions of‍ dollars in income.

In February 2021, shortly after her departure from⁢ “The Mandalorian,” Lucasfilm released a statement distancing⁤ itself from Carano. They stated that she was no longer employed and ‍had no future plans with the company, condemning her social media posts for denigrating individuals based on their⁢ cultural and ‌religious identities. However, Carano maintains that she did not make any posts of that nature.

The lawsuit filed by Gina Carano accuses​ Disney and Lucasfilm of violating the rule of law in their actions against her. She⁣ now seeks justice and vindication for the alleged mistreatment she endured. The outcome of this legal battle could ⁢have significant implications​ for the entertainment industry and the broader debate surrounding⁢ freedom of speech and expression.

It will be interesting to observe how‍ this case progresses and how Disney responds to ‌Carano’s allegations. ​The outcome could potentially shape the ‌future dynamics between content creators, studios, and individuals who wish to express their ​opinions without fear of repercussions.
