Gina Carano said she was 'moved to tears' after a judge ruled that her lawsuit against Disney can proceed, after the company tried to have it dismissed.

The actress, 42, sued the mega-entertainment brand for discrimination in February 2024, with the assistance of Elon Musk, over her 2021 firing from the Star Wars series Mandalorian.

Carano had played Cara Dune for the first two seasons of the hit show, which streams on Disney+. She was fired after she compared the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany to conservatives in modern America in a social media post.

In April, Disney argued it had a First Amendment right to fire Gina after she posted tweets that were out-of-step with the trans-rights movement, and an image the company claims was controversial as it pertained to the Holocaust.

She also refused to signal support for transgender rights on her public social media profiles, with which Disney apparently took issue.

According to her suit, the conglomerate forced her to sit through a 90-minute Zoom meeting with officials from GLAAD after she wrote 'boop/bop/beep' in her Twitter profile, instead of taking seriously the assignment of identifying her pronouns publicly.

'Carano's presence as a prominent actor on 'The Mandalorian' interfered with Disney's choice not to produce a show associated with her beliefs,' they wrote.

The actress additionally alleged that the company discriminated against her on the basis of sex, citing the fact that Disney took no action after male actors Pedro Pascal and Mark Hamill posted material comparing followers and supporters of President Donald Trump to Nazis.

Disney argued that the standard it applied to Carano doesn't matter.

I wouldn’t put it past them to have shredded anything incriminating by now. “That was so long ago. We don’t keep e-mails back that far”.

I don’t get the Conservative connection?

HUH?

I couldn't decrypt that sentence either. She either compared American Conservatives to the Nazis or to the Jews in Nazi Germany. Not sure which.

She didn’t kiss the ring. In Hollywood you have to kiss the ring.

I really don’t think a ring is what one has to “kiss”.

Its a comparison of ... to ... stmt.

She was fired after she compared the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany to conservatives in modern America in a social media post.

If I recall correctly, she compared the treatment of conservatives in modern America by the establishment to the treatment of Jews by Nazis in Nazi Germany. In other words, the way they are demonized and discriminated against by the Left.

I don’t get the Conservative connection?

This is what Carano posted. She was comparing the attacks on conservatives today (in 2021) with how the Jews in pre-war Germany were being treated by their neighbors with the tacit approval of the Nazi Party government.

This is what her co-star Pedro Pascal posted, but his was a reference to the Nazis from the left perspective. Pascal used the photo of Obama cages of children and attributed it to President Trump. The photo he attributed to 2018 was really from 2014.

Carano was fired, Pascal was not.

Sometimes the world offers some hope.

What most people don’t know is in cases with individual vs corporations, its usually the individual who wins.
This is probably why you can’t sue the Federal Gov.

Gina Carano CRYING over a rejection to dismiss her lawsuit? That’s wrecking my image of her.

Some women happily cry when they are overcome with emotion.
