Disney Settles Lawsuit with Gina Carano Over Firing

Gina Carano has received a settlement following her controversial 2021 firing from Disney's The Mandalorian.

The actress and mixed martial arts veteran, 43, who starred as Cara Dune in the Star Wars franchise spin-off, was canned from the popular series in early 2021 over Instagram posts comparing Jews in the Holocaust to American conservatives.

Carano confirmed the settlement herself on her official X account stating: 'I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm, which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force.'

She added, 'I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk ... a man I’ve never met … and the truth shall set you free. '

Meanwhile, Lucasfilm said Thursday: 'The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies.

'With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future,' the statement added, per Variety.

The film company continued: 'Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff.'

Lucasfilm officials said Carano 'worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect.'

Carano suffered the full wrath of the woke police in early 2021 - a timeframe marked by the inauguration of President Joe Biden, the aftermath of the 2020 election and January 6 riots; and a societal lean toward political correctness.

The post Carano was fired over in February of 2021 read, '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. The post continued: How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?'

Carano's agency at the time, UTA dropped her when she was cut by Disney.

The performer found a well-funded ally in billionaire Elon Musk, who funded litigation against Lucasfilm last year in a federal court in California.

In a February 2024 lawsuit, she requested the court force Lucasfilm to compensate her to the tune of punitive damages of $75,000; and order the company to put her back on the show.

Attorneys for Disney sought to get the lawsuit dismissed in April of 2024.

The company cited 'a constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech,' pointing toward the First Amendment.

The court rejected Disney's request in July of 2024, leading Carano to declare she was 'moved to tears' by the shifting momentum.

Carano fired off an angry tweet in reply, taking the company to task to their outster of her.

'Disney has confirmed what has been known all along,' Carano said, 'they will fire you if you say anything they disagree with, even if they have to MISREPRESENT, MALIGN, and MISCHARACTERIZE you to do it.

She continued: They are now on record letting everyone who works for them know that Disney will take any chance they get to control what you say, what you think or they will attempt to destroy your career.

'Glad we cleared that up. The First Amendment does not allow Disney to wantonly DISCRIMINATE, which is what they have done in my case and frankly have now admitted they did.

Carano wrapped up in saying, 'If you ever wanted to know what today's "Disney values" are, they just told you.'
