    Gina Carano-Disney's feud escalates as Court rules in her favor

    What's the story

    Gina Carano, the former Mandalorian actor, has expressed her gratitude following a Los Angeles federal judge's decision to deny Disney's motion to dismiss her lawsuit.

    The lawsuit was initiated by Carano after she was dismissed from the Disney+Star Wars-linked streaming series The Mandalorian.

    The dismissal occurred three years ago due to controversial social media posts where she compared the US political climate to the Holocaust.

    Notably, the lawsuit is funded by Elon Musk's X.

    Court decision

    Judge rejects Disney's claim in Carano lawsuit

    US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett rejected Disney's claim that it had a "right to dissociate its own artistic message from Carano's outspoken 'political beliefs.'"

    Disney is yet to comment on the latest development.

    Carano, expressing her relief, stated on her X account, "I am moved to tears. After a brutal 3 1/2 years, I am being given the opportunity to move forward in the court of law before the judge and my peers to clear my name."

    Carano's gratitude

    Carano described her experience as 'unacceptable, absurd, abusive'

    The actor added, "Thank you to @elonmusk, a man I have never even met, who so graciously gave me a fighting chance. Thank you for standing for justice for all of humanity. May God bless you and your family for years to come because He has chosen you for such a time as this."

    "What happened to me was unacceptable, absurd and abusive, among other things. It should not have happened to me."

    Controversy

    Carano's controversial social media posts explained

    Carano faced significant backlash after posting that "Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors.... even by children."

    She continued, "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?"

    Career impact

    Carano's role in 'The Mandalorian' and further controversies

    She was also criticized for social media posts mocking mask-wearing during the pandemic, alleging voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, and mocking the use of gender pronouns by adding "beep/bop/boop" in her social media bio.

    These controversies led to the hashtag #FireGinaCarano on social media, resulting in her dismissal from the series.

    She essayed the role of Cara Dune, a mercenary in the series.
