Gina Carano’s Lawsuit Against Disney Will Move Forward After Disney Loses Dismissal Attempt

Gina Carano’s case against the Walt Disney Company will continue in the court system after Disney attempted to have it dismissed.

Carano is suing Disney for her dismissal from “Star Wars” and Disney’s uneven handling of social media posts and firing her for “political” posts but allowing male co-stars to post similar things and discuss their own political leanings freely.

Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett sided against Disney’s lawyers’ attempt to dismiss the case based on First Amendment rights they tried to argue. She said,

“Defendants have not identified any evidence — in the Complaint or otherwise — to substantiate a claim that they employ public-facing actors for the purpose of promoting the ‘values of respect,’ ‘decency,’ ‘integrity,’ or ‘inclusion,’”

Gina Carano issued this statement on X

““the court DENIES defendants motion.”

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. I am so grateful for this opportunity. What happened to me was unacceptable, absurd and abusive, among other things. It should not have happened to me, and it should not happen to anyone else moving forward. Let it stop here. I quite literally fought to get to where I got to in my career through intense ups and downs, and I’ll keep up that fight to continue doing what I love. I appreciate all of you who stood by me and defended me, and I am so sorry that similar situations have happened to some of you. I want you to know that I see you and I stand with you. 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.“

Now, the case will move on through the court system to the next step.
