In a bold move escalating the conflict surrounding her dismissal from "The Mandalorian," Gina Carano has filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm, alleging discrimination and wrongful termination, according to Hollywood Reporter.

This legal battle adds another layer to the ongoing struggle for influence in Hollywood, bringing in corporate America as a prominent player.

Gina Carano, known for her role as Cara Dune in the Disney+ show "The Mandalorian," filed a complaint on Tuesday in a California federal court, claiming she was fired for expressing right-wing opinions on social media.

The Gina Carano lawsuit demands $75,000 in damages and a court order mandating Lucasfilm to recast her in the show.

Elon Musk, demonstrating his commitment to supporting users claiming discrimination due to their online activities, is assisting in funding Gina Carano lawsuit through his company, X.

Joe Benarroch, X's head of business operations, emphasized the corporation's dedication to free speech.

"We're proud to provide financial support for the Gina Carano lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination," Benarroch said.

Background and Controversy

Gina Carano, a former MMA fighter, played the character Cara Dune in the first two seasons of "The Mandalorian," per BBC.

Her tenure on the show was marked by frequent online conflicts with left-wing individuals.

However, the tipping point came in February 2021 when she shared a post on Instagram drawing a controversial parallel between the persecution of Jews by the Nazis and the political climate faced by Republicans today.

The post suggested that historical manipulation led to the persecution of Jews, likening it to current political differences.

Following this, Carano faced widespread criticism, prompting Lucasfilm to sever ties with her on the same day.

The production company and her talent agency, UTA, distanced themselves from Carano, citing her social media posts as "abhorrent and unacceptable."

Lawsuit Allegations and Impact on Gina Carano

It alleges that Lucasfilm's statements were "maliciously false," damaging her future work prospects.

The legal action claims that her removal from the show and subsequent harm to her career resulted from her right-wing views.

The lawsuit also sheds light on previous controversies, including posts mocking mask-wearing during the pandemic, false allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election, and the use of unconventional gender pronouns in her social media bio.

Carano maintains that the latter was a playful reference to "Star Wars" and accuses the company of harassment over the matter.

Gina Carano's legal team argues that she willingly engaged in positive discussions with LGBTQ+ groups at Lucasfilm's request but faced unwarranted demands for a public apology.

The Gina Carano lawsuit suggests that the company subjected her to harassment over an issue she had not caused.

Elon Musk's involvement in funding the lawsuit adds a layer of corporate influence to the ongoing clash, raising questions about the broader implications of social media expression and employment in the entertainment industry.
