Före detta Strikeforce-fightern Gina Carano sadlade ju med Soderbergh-fiaskot Haywire som vi alla vt om till skådespelerska och hennes kanske mest framträdande roll var karaktären Cara Dune i Disneys The Mandalorian. Det jobbet blev hon av med dock eftersom hon postade en serie tweets om det politiska klimatet i USA som Disney ansåg vara antisemitiska. Nu, såhär två år senare, har hon med hjälp av miljardären Elon Musk stämt Disney och Lucasfilm för att de inskränkt på hennes yttrandefrihet. Carano kräver rollen tillbaka samt 700 000 kronor i skadestånd för utebliven inkomst.
Carano via X:
"Today is an important day for me. I am filing a lawsuit against Lucasfilm & Disney. After my 20 years of building a career from scratch, and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter, terminating me from The Mandalorian: "Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm & there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities are abhorrent & unacceptable."
Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me. The thing is I never even used aggressive language. I shared thought provoking quotes, pictures, memes & occasionally I used my own words, not with aggression but with respect & the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times.
Look with your own eyes at what I posted and ask yourself, for example, where did I compare Republicans to the Jewish people in the holocaust? I didn't. Ask yourself why they were calling me a racist, was there any merit behind that or history of it whatsoever? No. Look at why I was called a transphobe--for making droid noises from Star Wars? "Beep, bop, boop" was obviously directed to the online bullies and did not in any way denigrate transgender people."
Vad tror du om Caranos chansen här?
