Gina Carano files lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination

Republican presidential candidate Trump campaigns in New Hampshire

Actress Gina Carano is taking a stand against Disney and Lucasfilm, as she files a lawsuit against the companies for alleged discrimination and wrongful termination. Carano, known for her role as Cara Dune in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, claims that she was let go due to her political views and for sharing them openly.

The lawsuit, funded by entrepreneur Elon Musk, aims to support individuals who face discrimination for their posts on social media platforms. Carano's legal action comes after her dismissal from The Mandalorian and subsequent termination by the UTA Agency for posting controversial Instagram Stories. These posts included comparisons between modern-day Republicans and Jewish people in the Holocaust, criticism of government mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, and claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
