Can you describe the exact law that was broken by firing her? Literally any company has the right to fire someone if they find their behavior inappropriate, even if it is off the job. You are a representative of the company that hires you and if you go against the company’s core values you can be fired.
Love it when people throw around Qnon. Do you know anything about them? Didn’t think so. Neither do I. But it is obvious that people are so afraid of the truth the Qnon website was taken down.
Actually they can. It’s a private company and she signed a contract to abide by the company’s code of conduct. All companies have this. She’s gone. She won’t be back
Disney slipped by stating publicly why they fired her instead of just terminating her contract. There are only a few reason you can’t fire someone and political orientation is one of them. Disney could have given a billion other reasons or even no reason at all and been fine but they got specific.
IF Gina goes back there will certainly be behavioral stipulations in her contract, probably about 50 pages worth of specifics.
Not being renewed is not fired. Idk how people can be such extreme right leaning fanatics on this comment page, while simultaneously being little crying butterflies about this. Did she have a right to her opinion? Absolutely. And Disney expressed theres in not renewing her. She knew there could be negative consequences surrounding what she said, said it (as is her right) and suffered said consequences. Sucks for her, but makes complete sense. Stop crying about how the left doesnt pander to the right and whining about rights that have nothing to do with what were seeing here
Firing someone for their political beliefs it is wrong.Even more wrong firing someone for exercising their freedom of speech in a democratic country like the USA…Where is the democracy in that?It is nearly like Lucasfilm and Disney are managed by communists(sorry but not realy)…And i am sure that in their companies policy there is notihing about supporting a certain political party…That s all i have to say.(sorry for my English..not my first language)?
I saw the Devil with Gina Carano and Lizzie Proctor! She’s a witch! She’ a communist! She’s a silly conservative! Blacklist her!
I think Disney helping to remind us of Hollywood in the 1950’s is overall pretty helpful for American theater and American history teachers out there.
Pretty sure they stated that she was fired and that’s why they weren’t going to air her episode of Running Wild and that’s why they canceled her action figures. If her contract was simply not renewed they wouldn’t try to cancel her completely off of Disney and Lucasfilm like they tried to do. Her comments were labeled incorrectly by people who didn’t bother to read or understand them. Then there’s the fact that Pedro Pascal said things so much worse and no one said anything against him until he disagreed with the accepted opinions, by supporting Gal Gadot, and only now people are some people trying to cancel him too. Hopefully it’s Kathleen Kennedy who’s contract is not being renewed so the Star Wars universe can get back on track and include Gina back as Cara Dune. With Kennedy out and Favreau and Filoni in charge, that would be a better atmosphere for her and all the Star Wars actors to work.
She NEVER should have been fired in the first place!!! Just because she has an opinion that is different from her employer, they actually fired her in an attempt to try to silence her! Isn’t she allowed the same Freedom of Speech given to every U.S. Citizen? Shouldnt she have the same Constitutional protections as eveyone else?? YES SHE SHOULD!!!
Gina was awesome as Cara Dune and Disney is weak and stupid for allowing a bunch of internet trolls who are not even Star Wars fans influence them to fire her.
Eventually big business will start to realize that the Twitter mob don’t spend any money. They’re too busy wasting their time blathering like idiots online. Eventually these companies will tire of throwing away potential profit in order to appease people whose sole purpose is to be perpetually upset…
Exactly. Disney (and a ton of large corporations) spend too much effort into data driven marking which Twitter and other social media amplifies vs actually having higher ups get into the trenches and learn directly about their customers and who they have working for them. Walt, Roy and Roy all did it as CEOs.
That’s nice and all but the numbers show that your “theory” is factually incorrect. Ratings for these shows that don’t appease your supremacist views are actually to ticking up not down. Disney didn’t miss a step with subscriptions.
@pym blm does not deserve public support. You better educate yourself and understand that blm has NOTHING to do with bettering the lives of black people. Shame on your ignorance.
– mocked the LGBT+ community
– supported the false notion that the 2020 election was stolen
– anti-Semitic comments
Disney requested after every offense that she stop being a tool online and she not so kindly declined their offer to show better judgement. So Disney cut ties to allow her to continue being an online tool just not under their banner.
The idea that Disney would bring her back when her online conduct became even worse after her release shows how disillusioned some of you peoe really are.
It’s not “boo hoo” he’s literally stating facts. After Disney cut ties because she was unwilling to follow the rules of the contract she signed she talked and ran her mouth about how horrible Disney was. If you were a business owner and a potential hire could be seen bad mouthing your company online would you hire them? Now what if this person was a former employee with a history of misconduct? Yea, didn’t think so.
She needs to STAY GONE! No rights were violated, you cannot yell “fire” in a theater. She is a narcissistic brat who has no place in the Disney franchise. An MMA fighter’s opinion means nothing and definitely does not qualify them for acting.
Cute name to use on a site dedicated to Disney news. Takes away any shred of credibility to your comment and highlights the cowardice of online anonymity. Sad little boy now giggling that someone noticed 🙂
This transphobic garbage was told multiple times not to do something by the people who employed her and she did it anyway. That’s exactly how people get fired. If anybody else did that at their job, they’d get fired too. She’s not a victim for being an idiot.
Nah I’m good, she can rot in the garbage bin along with whatever trash her and Shapiro are coming up with. Freedom of speech does nto mean freedom from consequence, all it protects you from is government retaliation. Idiots who think it means they can say whatever they want need to reread it.
Some of the People responding with negative comments are very twisted individuals. God Bless Free Speech in our beloved Nation. I support Gina & her valor for making sure we All know where she stands. I feel pity for people who support artificial nations that believe Apartheid/Zionism is O.K. in 2021- they have built the foundation of personal beliefs on Mud & it is begining to rain…..
They didn’t renew her contract.
And no way does that impede on her rights.
And even if they did fire her from her contract most actors have a parachute clause that pays them a certain amount for if they get fired.
Yes, Carano should come back. She should never have been fired in the first place! “Cancel culture” is a cancer in our society and needs to be stopped. People have too much time on their hands right now and need to be put back in their place.
Carano was unknown to everyone (vast majority) of her new fans till the Mandalorian show cased her. Jon Favreau ( genius, real Star Wars fan, and hater of the crappy ST) created Cara Dune for her. People can say they’d follow her anywhere but I’m going to be honest I went to bat for her because what Kennedy and the loathsome spiders in the story group did to her was wrong. When Kennedy and the story group are finally removed and we have very indirect but public statements that LUCASFILM is under restructuring(Waititi mentioned this concerning his Star Wars movie) that changes are coming, it would not be out of the realm of possibility that Gina would be asked back. If she’s asked back by Favreau and says no, I’m over it. She only used us then to grab attention. Star Wars gave her name recognition.
If she can get a new gig, whatever, more power to her. But she should get a better contract attorney so that it doesn’t have clauses that allow her contract to terminate because of stupid and racist things she says. Otherwise, if she keeps flapping her mouth off, she’ll get “terminated” again.
I don’t imagine this has anything to do with a Star Wars property. Apparently she has several large projects in development currently and this is probably a reference to one of them. We’ll see her again. I wish her great success in her new ventures.
Wow Mamas, you sure seem to know a lot about Gina for someone who seems to believe she is the antithesis of all that is good and righteous? You do understand that these folks are actors/actresses and her role is defined and written by someone else, she’s just the mouthpiece in a fantasy world that brings those words to life. If Disney management believes resurrecting Cara Dune will make them more money, she’ll be back as a defender of justice and freedom for ALL in that fantasy universe.
I love her for voicing an opinion. I may not agree, maybe I do. She’s an amazing actress, & as Cara Dune, totally awesome!
Be true to yourself, have a healthy dose of scepticism, and be proud of it.
Gina, you won’t read this, but nonetheless I think you’re wicked!
They didn’t renew her contract! She was not fired! And I think it’s time to get someone new…she need to go get another gig/job.. and forget about Disney
Excuse me? Second chance? You mean Disney and Lucasfilm gets a second chance with Carano. Before she got fired she wasn’t even political. Just said what she saw and thought, and some know nothings read certain things into her tweets. Pedro Pascal could be pointed at for distasteful posts too, but no one cares because he chooses to be a Liberal. A person’s character no matter their political view, whether they have one or not does not matter. Who they are and their character and personality, that’s what matters. Watch her interview with Ben Shapiro. And also ask people that really know her. Like fellow cast members or those in the MMA community, and you will see she never meant anything hateful. It was all purposely taken out of context.
Comments for Gina Carano Convinces Fans She’s Returning to ‘Star Wars’

She’ll be reinstated into the show in August, after the Supreme Court finds out her firing was illegal! 😉

There is such a thing as wrongful termination. A company can’t just fire someone because of their political opinions.

All actors belong to the union SAG and Disney has to go through them. And, Disney breached the contract. Not to mention that she spoke the truth.

What did she do that was inappropriate, express her own opinions? I thought disney was inclusive of everyone.

The question is, would Gena Carano give Disney a second chance after their hypocritical and extremely misguided handling of her

I’ll never support Gina Carano. She has a lot to say about other things but failed to publicly support BLM.

And what exactly did she do wrong? Couldn’t figure it out at the time.

It’s a long list but some of the top hits are:

Yes exactly. People act like freedom of speech means freedom from consequence, but it never has.
