Gina Carano Sues Disney, Alleging Political Discrimination, Sex Discrimination, and Defamation;
LAWSUIT IS BEING BANKROLLED BY ELON MUSK, WHO IS OFFERING TO FILE ADDITIONAL SUITS FOR PEOPLE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY DISNEY

Gina Carano
@ginacarano
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.

DEIsney lied about the reason for her termination -- it was all about her refusal to bend to the trans extremists and post her pronouns. As Kneon pointed out in his ClownfishTV video, if this wasn't about the trans agenda and pronouns, why did DEIsney demand Carano attend a Struggle Session in which 45 LGBT DEIsney employees would hurl vitriol at her?

DEIsney realized how extremist and bizarre it would seem if they admitted they fired a popular actress over her refusal to post her very-obvious pronouns, so they pretended this was about "comparing Republicans to Jews."

Which, by the way, also isn't offensive.

But they lied to obscure their real, bizarre sociosexual agenda, because if parents knew about it, they'd flee DEIsney.

And they also lied because, while trans extremists love headhunting and bullying people, they don't like it being acknowledged that they're the ones tormenting people, because this would make them "feel unsafe."

(Feel unsafe making other people feel unsafe, that is.)

Were my questions about masks, lockdowns & forced vaccines ok to ask & push the subject into the light? Should we have been allowed to publicly discuss those topics at that time without being harassed or censored? Absolutely.

Hollywood says they support female representation & equal rights. Why then were my male co-stars permitted to speak without harassment & re-education courses or termination, but I was not afforded the same right to exercise my freedom of speech.

She means Mark Hamill and Pedro Pascal, both of whom called Republicans and/or Trump "nazis" and faced no pushback from DEIsney, no demands they stand before Struggle Session panels filled with conservatives, etc.

Artists do not sign away our rights as American citizens when we enter into employment. I have spoken to all my co-stars since I was fired & there is nothing but care and kind words between us. I respect their right to free speech & do not have to think the same on every issue to be their friends & work with them & I know they feel the same towards me.

A couple months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech, he would like to offer these people legal representation. Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still, I did respond back "I think I qualify" & thousands of people agreed--but I did not expect anything.

To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others. Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers & X believe whole-heartedly in my case & are moving forward.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude & thank you to @ElonMusk & @X
for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light.

As for me, I would love to pick up where I left off & continue my journey of creating & participating in story-telling, which is my utmost passion & everything I worked so hard for. It has been difficult to move forward with the lies & labels stuck on me, backed & encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world. I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way & look forward to clearing my name.

Thank you to all the people who have supported me & made your voices heard. I pray God blesses each & every one of you.

With love,

Gina Carano

Here is the amusing introduction to her lawsuit:

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. After two highly acclaimed seasons on The Mandalorian as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character's peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star in an earlier Star Wars film. And all this because she dared voice her own opinions, on social media platforms and elsewhere, and stood up to the online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology.
Defendants' wrath over their employees' social media posts also differed depending on sex. Even though "the Force is female," Defendants chose to target a woman while looking the other way when it came to men. While Carano was fired, Defendants took no action against male actors who took equally or more vigorous and controversial positions on social media. But 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.

Full lawsuit here.

I thought that Carano's best claim was for defamation. I didn't understand why she's claiming viewpoint/political discrimination -- don't employers have the right to fire you over politics?

Not in California, no! Ron Coleman pointed out on the Valliant Renegade podcast that California, almost uniquely, has very strong protections for people's expression of their political thoughts, which employers are forbidden to punish. Coleman says that California implemented this law to protect COMMUNISTS from employers who didn't want commies on their staffs.

Of course. Of course. Of course it's to protect filthy communists.

But, they're stuck with that law now.

He does say that filing in California, Los Angeles County in particular, is a dicey call, given that "California judges are not eager to protect the free speech rights of conservatives." I'm not sure why she filed there.

I heard someone else say that if Musk is bankrolling this, then his goal is to get discovery from DEIsney and embarrass and humiliate them.

I don't think that his wishes can override Carano's, though. He may be paying Carano's lawyers, but Carano's lawyers are still Carano's lawyers, and have to pursue the best outcome for her. If DEIsney offers her a big payout to avoid discovery, then presumably she will take it.

Although... I myself was once represented by a lawyer who made it clear in our contract that he was representing me only for specific purposes (protecting the right to speak anonymously), and the moment he thought my case was shaky, he dropped me. So I guess lawyers could maybe sign a contract with Carano saying that they want to go at least through the discovery phase before considering a settlement.

By the way: There's a DEIsney ~~shareholder meeting~~ earnings call today.

I wonder if this lawsuit was filed last night with the purpose of causing problems for Bob Iger in addressing his increasingly-frustrated shareholders.

It's a crazy theory, but I think there might be some merit to it.

An anonymous source just sent me this from Disney. It is mandatory, institutionalized racism and sexism! pic.twitter.com/npMy8YfA1j
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 6, 2024

As you can see, DEIsney has written down on paper and ordered its employees to hire and promote very few people who are white, Christian, straight, and/or male.

Legal Mindset served as corporate counsel to different companies and points out that people are routinely fired for giving this sort of order -- and if they were stupid enough to write their illegal racist order down so that the company can't even claim it didn't happen? Forget about it.

DEIsney is demanding huge overrepresenation among all minorities, which means, of course, that non-favored groups must be severely underrepresented.

The Supreme Court just ruled that colleges are not permitted to resort to this kind of racial/sexual discrimination even if colleges think it's "good" to discriminate against some races. Lower courts will apply that rule to corporations as well.

Elon Musk
@elonmusk

If you were discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries (ABC, ESPN, Marvel, etc), just reply to this post to receive legal support

Remember, Film Threat has been publishing letters from fired/demoted DEIsney employees -- pushed out of the company for not being the right race or sexual orientation.

There could be hundreds of people who will ask for Musk's help in filing a lawsuit. They've avoided it until now, but now with a deep-pocketed benefactor, many will sue.

And -- I wonder if there are any other high-profile women that Disney engaged in political viewpoint discrimination against.

One more thing: Elon Musk attended a premiere with Nelson Peltz's family for a movie, Lola, in which Peltz's daughter appears.

Why would Musk out-of-the-blue attend a premiere with Nelson Peltz?

He was not coy. In fact, he was the opposite of coy: He said he was here "with friends" and "thinking about companies to acquire."

This must be a bluff, because I don't think he'd say he was going to buy up DEIsney if he really was going to buy up DEIsney -- it'll spike the share price and make acquiring it more expensive.

But... what if he's on the level?

Willowed and OT:

Nerd news.

Just got an email from Funimation that they're finally shutting down their streaming channel and merging it into Crunchyroll. This line, however, is a bit perplexing.

"As part of our transition to Crunchyroll, the price of your new Crunchyroll plan will increase from USD $5.99/month to CAD $12.49/month beginning April 05, 2024."

$12.49 Canadian pesos? Do whaaaaaaa?!?

Musk's more of an anti-John Galt. I guess he'd be closer to a Henry Reardon. Probably closest to a Ragnar Danneskjöld.

27 "This must be a bluff, because I don't think he'd say he was going to buy up DEIsney if he really was going to buy up DEIsney -- it'll spike the share price and make acquiring it more expensive."

---

What's he's shown, more than once now, is he CAN affect something's price (notice I didn't say value), merely by saying he's interested in it.

Then when he says he's not interested, it affects the thing again. Which, given that he gives F all about money, apparently, is more about showing how phony all of this is.

Now, if it was the Pelousy family, and other members of that crime syndicate, they would be saying things to affect the price, so they could profit.

But that's not what he's doing. Will he be a player in a Dinsey takeover? Maybe. But they're on his shit list, and that's not going to be good for them.

Saw an interview with Frank Zappa where he said that as a musician, if you have ever changed or created a song simply to get it on radio, you have made a business choice, not an artistic choice.

2. This is a long, heavily detailed complaint. Normally you might not put in this much detail. I think this complaint was meant for public consumption as much as a legal document.

3. She even manages to get a dig in against pedo perv James Gunn.

4. Her case is compelling, bordering on open-and-shut. The contrasts she shows between her treatment and the men are striking. I hope she bankrupts the living shit out of the dogshit perverted Louse House.

Walt's amusement park vision was to have attractions based on movie and TV content, familiar and reassuring to families. One would drive the other.

Modern companies (Anhuieser Busch, Gillette) have employees that don't see new sales as imperative or necessary to the capitol value of their organizations and would like to think of themselves as non-profit entities.

163 That Disney Inclusivity checklist reminds me of the "Pritchard Scale" from the film Dead Poet's Society (ironically, a Disney production under the Touchstone banner). The Pritchard Scale hilariously sought to measure the greatness of a poem by charting its "perfection" and "importance" on a chart. Robin Williams presents this bit of ridiculousness to his class only to then dismiss it entirely and tear the page out of the textbook. THIS IS WHY DISNEY IS FLOPPING. Talentless activists with wafer-thin resumes are trying to use a Pritchard Scale (read: Inclusivity Scale) to reverse engineer content--and it all sucks. I really hope Gina and Elon make it hurt.

Having external boundaries often makes art better. When artists have no boundaries and just "create" they most often produce self-indulgent crap. Meanwhile, when boxed in, truly creative solutions can be found. A movie that is slyly subversive is much more interesting than an out-and-out "subversive" movie.

Let's not forget most classical art was created for a patron - not just the artist's desire. Like, for instance, the Sistine Chapel.

All to say "artistic integrity" has little meaning to me most of the time.

I doubt that low. Down into the sixties might be possible if all those things go wrong *and* box office receipts stay down in the toilet *and* D+ stays a money sink *and* the summer doesn't see major increases at the parks.

But I would not be surprised if Musk already has a position in Disney, possibly a growing one. If he doesn't actually want Disney himself, then he could represent a big arrow in Peltz' quiver that nobody knows about yet.

Or it's all just pure trolling. Musk is hard to read because he's fairly erratic (or at least, appears to be from the outside - I imagine that's something he cultivates).

210 Bowie was, IIRC, the first artist to securitize his royalties into an asset-backed investment instrument. The "Bowie Bond" was a special-purpose investment conduit that owned (or still owns - not sure) the rights to Bowie's royalties. He cashed in all at once on Wall Street, enjoyed vast sums of money toward the end of his life, and set things up for good. The sales spike following his death made the investors some nice returns, too.

I dunno who on Wall Street came up with it, but the dude earned his bonus.

A lot of what appears erratic on the surface makes more sense if you keep in mind that Musk is *all* about getting a big chunk of humanity living in space on a fairly short timescale. There's almost no question that he consciously sees himself as Heinlein's The Man Who Owned the Moon.

Nothing worse than training your replacement. I've only seen it happen once where the "trainers" did a good job, and that was in my case. That company offered fat retention and performance bonuses. "You're gone anyway. Do a good job training your replacements, and we'll give you a decent payday. Don't, and we won't - but you're gone regardless."

The only other way it can happen well is if they don't know they're training their replacements. "We're setting up a team in {foreign country} to add to our workforce and need to bring them up to speed." The smart companies will stick by that for 12-18 months, too. Train them up and then keep your job for a while before the layoffs hit. You *did* train your replacements, you just didn't know it.

Just started a Netflix movie last night called The King covering that Henry!

Not far enough in to make a judgement. Anyone know it that is a good movie?

308 I thought that Carano's best claim was for defamation.

My best claim to fame is defecation!

310 "If DEIsney offers her a big payout to avoid discovery, then presumably she will take it."

I wouldn't bet on that with Carano. She's cut from a different cloth.

312 I even had to ask my wife, why would someone pay $350k for a steer? It's not like you can breed him like a champion horse with stud fees.

It's pretty good.

The low budget holds it back a bit, but good actors and acting within.

Well, the most impactful monarchs were Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.

317 I just thought of a great idea for a chain restaurant to take over all the dead malls. Mustardaria!

Core Principles:

1. All items have mustard.
2. There are fifty kinds of mustard.
3. You don't get to choose what kind of mustard.
