Maybe Disney has some behavioral guidelines as conditions of employment that are agreed upon during the hiring process.
Those behavioral guidelines?
BTW, when some PR dweeb put this out that day ---
“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
I'm not a lawyer but this was the official Disney (virtue signalling) response. Not 'She is no longer employed here... we wish her the best'.
This should very much be in her favor.

She did. They had to reshoot her scenes and alter the story after she was fired.

I love her. She’s a legitimate badass.

Here is the Complaint. I see three causes of action for statutory employment law violations, but no cause of action for "defamation."

You may have a point so long as that "behavior" wasn't voicing and engaging in political speech.

You can force employees to not reflect their political beliefs in your product. You cannot tell them what they have to believe and who to vote for.

The Complaint includes no such cause of action. It is HIGHLY unlikely that she had an employment contract.

So, she compared being a Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust?
A guess that can be considered political, seems more like just a stupid statement. Not sure she should have been caned, this feels like Disney overreacted.
Had to research what se said, looks like some covid-19 stuff, election rigged, still, free speech is in the constitution.

I did that long ago.
I watched the interview the moment it dropped. And the one with Samantha Steel as well.

No. She said the holocaust didn't happen in a vacuum. It isn't like the Germans woke up one morning and decided to kill millions of their own citizens. Things like the Holocaust are made possible when the population is primed and conditioned for it through propaganda, and coercion. When you weaponize the government against political enemies and create thought crimes. When free speech is argued to be a threat that needs to be extinguished. When you ask people to report their neighbors to the government and charge the opposition with crimes.
I wish it was hyperbole but the current state of our nation is trending toward an all too familiar path. I'm not saying it ends with gas chambers but it does spell the death of individual liberty.

Pedro Pascal said much worse, directly called 1/2 America Nazis and KKK supporters, and got zero push back or comment by Disney.
Gina's comments were factually based & thoughtful. Same can't be said for Pedro's.

quote:Yeah, it seems unlikely that the studio head would publicly announce that Carano was going to star in a spinoff series if there wasn’t already an agreement in place between Gina and Disney.
Kathleen Kennedy got up on stage in 2020 and said Gina Carano would have her own TV show "Rangers of the New Republic", which was going to be a spin off of the Mando show. I know things can get technical in Hollywood, and maybe there wasn't a contract signed, so who knows.

It seems like those guidelines violate California law if she was in fact dismissed due to her Tweet which Disney admits to doing.
Then there's the double standard regarding Pascal's despicable statements.
I think she has a good case for discrimination. And she's not going to settle. I saw her say that on PBD's podcast. She wants discovery. Which should tell everyone a lot.

Saw two entertainment industry lawyers discussing it. They agreed that in 48 states no. But Cali and NY passed laws to protect radical lefties that will unintentionally make this interesting and should at least go to trial.

I had to look it up. I couldn’t remember what the fuss was all about. Turns out it’s worse than I thought. She was 1000% targeted for her political views and societal opinions.
quote:
Her Instagram post read: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors.... even by children. “Because history is edited, most people today don´t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.
“How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
She then deleted the post, but not before it was screenshotted and shared across several social media platforms, with #FireGinaCarano trending on Twitter.
Many Twitter users also took umbrage at Carano’s regular use of offensive language, disregard for mask wearing and sharing of conspiracy theories in her Tweets.
What are her political views?
The 38-year-old is known for her controversial political and social views, having blocked Twitter accounts in August 2020 which supported Black Lives Matter.
In 2020, she also posted comments on Twitter which supported theories of US presidential election fraud and was unsupportive of mask-wearing.
Carano was also accused of transphobia after changing her Twitter name to include ‘Beep/Bop/Boop’.
She responded to the backlash with a Tweet which read: “They mad cuz I won’t put pronouns in bio to show my support for trans lives
“After months of harassing me in every way, I chose to put three VERY controversial words in my bio, BEEP/BOP/BOOP.

Most folks aren’t paying attention to stuff like this. They look to a biased media to fill in the blanks. Elon sought her to help, not the other way around.
Like so much else, the narrative is often 180 what we’re told it is.

disney will pay her off, discovery for this could bring on many other lawsuits.
iger is a moron, and it's insane that no stock holders have filed law suits with how much the stock has been tanking.
ceo has 1 job, make money and make stock holders happy.

There’s another reason she wants discovery. Her agent dumped her right after Disney did. There’s speculation that there are emails from Disney instructing her agent to do that if they wanted to continue working with Disney.
