Musk Funds Fired Actress’s Lawsuit Against Disney

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

In an escalation of a standoff over her firing in The Mandalorian, Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination in a lawsuit that opens another front in the battlefield for influence over Hollywood that has drawn in corporate America.

Carano, in a complaint filed on Tuesday in California federal court, alleges she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media and seeks a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her.

Elon Musk, making good on a promise to foot the legal bill for users who claim they have been discriminated against due to their activity on his platform, is helping fund the suit through X.

Read the full article. Since her firing Carano has gone on to make a movie for….Ben Shapiro. Per Wikipedia, Terror On The Prairie had a “limited theatrical release only in the United Arab Emirates and Russia where it earned a total of $13,115.” In 2022, Carano appeared in the Breitbart-funded film, My Son Hunter. Of note, the right has claimed forever that employers should be completely free to fire anybody for any reason.

Congratulations, remaining X advertisers! Your $$$ are now funding a lawsuit against @dIsney and @lucasfilm by actress who mocks trans people, criticizes #COVID19 mask mandates, and claims right-wingers are being treated like Jews during the Holocaust. https://t.co/apeoimyXUl
