FROM FOX NEWS: Disney settled a wrongful termination lawsuit on Thursday that was filed by former “Star Wars” actress Gina Carano, bringing to an end a years-long dispute.
Carano, 43, was fired from her role as Cara Dune in the “Mandalorian” in February 2021, after Disney objected to a controversial social media post she wrote. The actress maintained that she had lost her job for her conservative views, and was wrongfully discriminated against.
The former MMA star has been vocal about her conservative views on social media, voicing her opposition to Black Lives Matter, COVID lockdowns and transgender dogma. Carano came under fire after she posted a picture of a Jewish woman beaten savagely in the city of Lwow while it was occupied by the Germans during World War II, and compared the hatred conservatives in the U.S. were experiencing at that time to that experienced by the Jews during the Holocaust.
“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?” Carano posted at the time.
Disney then fired Carano from “Star Wars,” and she sued for wrongful termination and discrimination.
Disney filed to dismiss the suit, claiming First Amendment rights, but later settled, expressing respect for Carano and a desire to work with her again.
Carano issued a heartfelt statement on X, saying she was happy with the outcome, thanking billionaire and Tesla founder Elon Musk for financially supporting the lawsuit, and thanking her fans for their support.
“I hope this brings some healing to the force,” she said.
