Disney Reveals 'Final Straw' For Gina Carano's Firing In New Court Filing
HuffPost
On Tuesday night, the entertainment giant filed a motion to dismiss Carano's lawsuit on First Amendment grounds.
Disney has detailed the “final straw” that lead to its decision to fire Gina Carano in a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the actor in February.
In Tuesday night court filings, the company argued it had the “constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano’s speech,” and that her lawsuit should be tossed on First Amendment grounds.
Carano was fired from the “Star Wars” spin-off “The Mandalorian” in Feb. 2021 after she reposted a message from an Instagram account likening the treatment of contemporary conservatives to Jewish people in Nazi Germany.
The Instagram post Carano reposted, cited in the suit, read: “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
The came after Carano received significant criticism for previous social media posts mocking trans rights, criticizing the COVID vaccine and questioning the results of the 2020 election.
