Gina Carano “Grotesquely Trivialized The Holocaust,” Disney Says; Wants Elon Musk-Backed Suit On ‘Mandalorian’ Firing Tossed


Disney Says The Ex-MMA Fighter's Discrimination & Wrongful DIscharge Legal Action Should Be Tossed Out

In a filing last night to dismiss Gina Carano ‘s wrongful discharge and sex discrimination lawsuit over being fired from The Mandalorian, the Mouse House states that the former MMA-fighter lost her Star Wars job in 2021 because she decided “to publicly trivialize the Holocaust by comparing criticism of political conservatives to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people—notably, not ‘thousands’—was the final straw for Disney.” Claiming her “words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist” during the very public dispute three years ago, Carano took the Bob Iger-run company to court in early February to get back her high-profile Mandalorian role of Rebel ranger Cara Dune and a TIE fighter full of damages. Since linking with the conservative media out, she has appeared in Terror on the Prairie and as a Secret Service agent in the Breitbart News distributed My Son Hunter.
