For reference, this was the Instagram post that got her fired:

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbours...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 neighbours hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?"

So not outright hatred of any other groups, but she's basically trying to equate "oppressed" Republicans being generally shitty people to Jews during the Holocaust. If anyone in America is promoting hate at this point in time though, it's Conservatives and Right-wing media.

Who's Gina Carano?

Carano is claiming wrongful discharge and sexual discrimination, seeking $75,000 in damages and a court order that would reinstate her on the hit series.

Oh buddy. Too broke to afford lawyers, only asking for $75k. I guess she took too many hits to the head during her fights, everyone knows you shoot high and let the judge adjust down if you win. Know your own value I guess, and Gina is signaling that she’s not worth much

The suit details that Carano was required by Disney to meet with a representative from the LGBTQ+ group Glaad after online behaviour that was seen as anti-trans, yet she refused. She was then asked to meet with a group of LGBTQ+ Disney employees but again refused and was fired soon after.

She got offered an easy out after posting her screed, and refused to even sit and talk with Glaad rep. Because she would have to listen and couldn’t argue or shout them down, and that’s political persecution

Her acting is okay, her social media presence is super toxic and puts the show into the headlines for reasons unrelated to the show. Disney have a pretty solid case for dismissal here, when will these dumbfucks realize that it’s not a liberal v conservative issue - it’s genuinely just your hate speech

That headline alone..

Bro we could make some money.

In February 2024, Carano filed a lawsuit against Lucasfilm over her firing. The suit was funded by Elon Musk who had previously promised to support anyone who suffered employment discrimination because of what they posted on Twitter

I think they made some wild statements when they fired her instead of the usual "After careful consideration..." HR text that everyone gives when letting people go. Given Elon has some deep pockets and doesn't shy away from burning money for dumb spite projects, they may have a shot of getting somewhere with Disney.
