Gina Carano Sues Disney Over Firing From ‘The Mandalorian,’ Elon Musk Funding the Suit
Elon Musk is funding Gina Carano's lawsuit that Disney and Lucasfilm wrongfully terminated her from "The Mandalorian" in 2021.
Actor Gina Carano sued Disney and Lucasfilm on Tuesday for firing her from “ The Mandalorian ” in 2021, over a social media post in which she compared being a Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust. “As a sign of X Corp.’s commitment to free speech, we’re proud to provide financial support for Gina Carano’s lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination,” said Joe Benarroch, head of business operations at X, in a statement. Carano’s lawsuit, which includes several elaborate “Star Wars” references, says 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.”
