LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Gina Carano has settled her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Co. over her claim that she was fired from “The Mandalorian” in 2021 for expressing right-wing views on social media.
The specific terms of the agreement were not made available.
“Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect,” Lucasfilm said in a statement. “With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”
The two sides stipulated in a federal court filing Thursday that the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be refiled. A judge still needs to formally dismiss it. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles in February of next year.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California last year, alleged Carano was wrongfully terminated from the “Star Wars” galaxy Disney+ series after two seasons due to a post likening the treatment of American conservatives to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Her posts were widely criticized online and spurred a trending #FireGinaCarano hashtag.
That’s a good way of phrasing it. Thanks.
That being said, no matter who I’m dealing with I always try to be respectful. So when I say I call someone out for being racist I don’t mean I call them a POS, I mean I outright tell them it’s disgusting and not ok, all the while being a respectable person.
Except Gina Carano, you havent called her out yet and are actively defending her. So you are either lying or full of shit.
I said in my original comment that I disagree with what she said. And in other comments I have outright said that Gina said really stupid things. That’s a nice way of saying it.
You need glasses or reading lessons, because I haven’t defended her once.
And this just about sums up the attitudes here. Quite literally a mob saying “if you’re not with us and denouncing the person we’re after, then you’re against us too”.
