Three years have passed since the actress’s forceful dismissal Gina Carano from the series ‘The Mandalorian‘ of ‘Star Wars‘ by disneya company that did not accept certain political opinions on social networks by the interpreter of Cara Dunethrough which “trivialized the Holocaust”. Now, and after the actress’s recent lawsuit for unfair dismissal, Disney has responded forcefully.
Disney’s response to Gina Carano’s lawsuit
Thus, Disney has presented a motion to dismiss charges presented by Carano for “publicly trivialize the Holocaust “Comparing criticism of political conservatives with the annihilation of millions of Jews – not ‘thousands’ – was the last straw for Disney,” the company’s lawyers said, adding that “Disney has the constitutional right to not to associate his artistic expression with Carano’s speechso the First Amendment provides a complete defense to Carano’s claims.”
And after the publication on Gina Carano’s Instagram account of a post in which the Nazi repression of the Jews was compared to the situation of American conservatives in his own country,Disney got fed up. On the same day that Carano grotesquely trivialized the Holocaust as if it were comparable to sharp political disagreements, Lucasfilm announced that ‘Gina Carano does not currently work for Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to do so in the future.’”
“However, his social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identity are abhorrent and unacceptable”. Shortly after, Disney assured that Carano’s opinions did not conform to “the values of respect, decency, integrity and inclusion” from the company itself.
We will see what this whole matter turns out to be and if finally the demand for Gina Carano is dismissed by a court or they move forward for a possible trial. Although the support of a tycoon like Elon Musk in favor of Gina Carano can give wings to said lawsuit.
