Disney CEO Responds To Gina Carano’s Lawsuit With One Word
Former Mandalorian star and MMA fighter Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination in a lawsuit. In the complaint, Carano alleges she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media and seeks a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her as Cara Dune.
Twitter owner and CTO Elon Musk is helping fund the suit through the social media site as part of a promise he posted last August to help anyone who suffered employment discrimination because of what they posted or liked.
“A few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story and many others,” Carano tweeted out. “Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers and X believe whole-heartedly in my case and are moving forward. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and thank you to Elon Musk & X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light.”
