Gina Carano Sues Disney Over ‘Mandalorian’ Firing

February 6, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

In 2021, Gina Carano was caught in the whirlwind of cancel culture. Carano was famously fired from Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” for allegedly offensive social media posts. She’s now decided to sue both Disney and Lucasfilm.

The 41-year-old actress broke the news on X, and thanked Elon Musk for paying her legal presentation. This is part of Musk’s promise to pay for legal actions taken by people claiming discrimination from posts to Twitter/X.

Carano wrote an extensive X post, tied to her lawsuit, here’s a sample:

The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.

Carano lost her ‘Mandalorian’ role after her so-called offensive social media posts caused controversy. Meanwhile, Carano is, albeit vaguely, pointing out that her co-star Pedro Pascal said “far worse” things and without punishment. She’s probably referring to the actor comparing Trump supporters to Nazis — Carano has mentioned Pascal’s comments in the past and she indirectly brings them up in her message:

Hollywood says they support female representation & equal rights. Why then were my male co-stars permitted to speak without harassment & re-education courses or termination, but I was not afforded the same right to exercise my freedom of speech.

Carano stands by the posts that caused her firing, noting there was no “aggressive language,” just “thought-provoking” content.

Were my questions about masks, lockdowns & forced vaccines ok to ask & push the subject into the light? Should we have been allowed to publicly discuss those topics at that time without being harassed or censored? Absolutely.

Carano was fired by the mouse house in 2021 over a social media post in which she compared being a Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust. Disney claims it wasn’t just that post, but a slew of others ones that got her fired. Carano maintains that she didn’t cross the line in any of her posts.

Her complaint goes on to claim that Disney and Lucasfilm “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”.

Carano seeks a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her in “The Mandalorian,” along with at least $75,000 in punitive damages.
