Gateway Pundit reports that actress Gina Carano has filed a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm after her role in the Disney+ Star Wars show “The Mandalorian” was canceled.
The lawsuit alleges that Carano was unfairly fired from her role as rebel fighter Cara Dune for expressing right-wing views on the social media platform.
Carano is seeking justice through a court order that would either reinstate the series or pay at least $75,000 in damages. The actress claims the firing caused her emotional turmoil and resulted in millions of dollars in lost potential income.
A federal judge in Los Angeles has now denied Disney’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The judge rejected Disney’s claim that it “had the right to distinguish its artistic message from Carano’s outspoken ‘political beliefs.'”
Carano shared the news on X.
“The court denies defendants’ motion.”
“I was moved to tears. After 3 1/2 brutal years, I had the opportunity to clear my name in court before a judge and my colleagues. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
“What happened to me was unacceptable, ridiculous, abusive, etc. It shouldn’t have happened to me, and it shouldn’t happen to anyone else. Just leave it at that.
“I have indeed experienced dramatic ups and downs in my career and have struggled to achieve my career goals. I will continue to fight and continue to do what I love. I am grateful to everyone who supports me and defends me. For similar I’m so sorry that this happened to some of you and I want you to know that I see you and I stand with you.
“Thank you very much @elonmusk, a man I had never met who so graciously gave me a fighting chance. Thank you for bringing justice to all humanity. May God bless you and your family in the years to come because He has chosen you for a time like this.
“The following is an interview I gave@benshapiro My lowest point was 3 1/2 years ago in February 2021. I was injured and in a lot of pain, but now I feel less pain. I pray that justice is served in this case. It’s a terrible life. I look forward to getting back to the art of storytelling and doing my part to help the world heal.
“Thank you. I’m sure it’s going to be a pretty tough fight, but God has given me the ability to take some hits and return some punches.
She concluded: “My feet are on solid ground. Imagine what your voice can do.”
