Actress and MMA star Gina Carano is suing the Walt Disney Company for firing her from the Star Wars series The Mandalorian in 2021, alleging the studio violated California law by discriminating against her over her political beliefs.
Gina Carano filed the suit against Disney and its Lucasfilm division Tuesday in a California federal court. In a notable plot twist, her court case is being funded by Elon Musk’s X, which has pledged to finance lawsuits of those who claim to have been discriminated against by their employer because of their statements made on the social media platform.
Carano is also alleging Disney defamed her by mischaracterizing her social media posts and her character, resulting in the loss of her agent and attorney as well as future employment opportunities.
“We rely on our leaders and people in positions of power to be just, cool- headed and steady-handed and to be able to listen to all sides of the story, keep the peace and act justly,” Carano said in a statement.
However, “some of us have been unjustly singled out, harassed, persecuted and had our livelihoods stripped away because we dared to encourage conversation, asked questions, and refused to go along with the mob.”

I didn’t think political beliefs were protected under Title IX, i.e. the replacement for the Constitution.
Me too. AND, thank God for Elon Musk. I know he's not a perfect man, but he knows what fair and ethical mean.
I agree.
Go Gina!
If I were Disney, I’d try to settle.
good for her
Ask for 80 Million, at least you DO have a case.
They are not.
Sue Disney out of existence, Gina! They are EVIL, and not in the LEAST bit what Walt designed HIS BUSINESS TO BE in the first place!
Anyone else notice that all the attractive women are Conservatives? ;)
If they’d been smart they would have fired her for not staying fit.
Leftist women are ugly to the bone. Any "good looks" they have will prove to be a failing mask over their corrupted souls.
Good. it wasn’t a bad show, but I stopped watching it when they fired her for Wrong-think.

I love Gina Carano. If you like action movies, try “In The Blood”.
Probably suing under state law.
Excellent!
I hope she crushes them.
She’s a 10+.
