Gina Carano Says Elon Musk "Is Some Kind of Batman" For Using His Money For a "Noble Cause"
As you know, Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm over being fired from The Mandalorian for sharing a series of controversial social media posts. Elon Musk is financially backing her lawsuit where she is seeking damages over the lost work and a court order to get her Rebel Ranger, Cara Dune, role back.
Carano’s character was being set up to be a big part of the Star Wars franchise and she was going to headline a series titled Rangers of the New Republic, which ended up being scrapped after she was fired.
At the time of her firing, Disney released a statement saying Carano's social media posts "[denigrated] people based on their cultural and religious identities," describing them as "abhorrent and unacceptable."
During a recent interview with The Post Millennial, Carano talked about the lawsuit sharing that she believes its important not just for her, but the greater good. She also goes on to describe Musk as “some kind of Batman” for using his money for a “noble cause.”
"I'm happy that like, people are going to actually have to dig in and take my situation seriously, and they're going to have to understand, when they're looking through all this, what their company was doing. And by looking through that they're going to have to make adjustments so that it's gonna make it that much harder for it to happen to the next person. And that's why what I'm doing is important.
"A lot of people, billionaires, put their money wherever they put it, but to put your money into defending people that have been done wrong is such a noble cause. It's like Elon Musk is some kind of Batman."
She later addressed her decision to add "beep/boop" to her social media accounts, which offended the trans community. She said:
"I was like, what is the least offensive thing you could ever do? And it's like, that is the least offensive thing. And then and then like, you know if there was there's just so many aggressive like trolls and bots and haters and probably a lot of a lot of misled young people who love to bully people.
"And so when somebody would say something bad to me I would just 'beep boop' at them because I feel like that was basically the cutest thing. You see all these other you know, a lot of my male co-stars would go aggressive at these people and say some stuff and I'm like, over here booping people. And I'm the one that gets fired?"
The site then brought up Disney's move to get the case dismissed, and Carano’s response was, "We all feel pretty confident that this is not something that they're gonna be able to dismiss."
The intial lawsuit reads: “A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. And so it was with Carano.”
The wrongful discharge and sex discrimination suit adds: “The rule of law still reigns over the Defendants’ empire …and Carano has returned to demand that they be held accountable for their bullying, discriminatory, and retaliatory actions—actions that inflicted not only substantial emotional harm, but millions of dollars in lost income.”
