Gina Carano pictured in 2019 via Associated PressActor Gina Carano has filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm three years after she was dumped from The Mandalorian for social media posts that Lucasfilm considered to be “abhorrent and unacceptable”. Gina announced the suit, which alleges wrongful discharge and sex discrimination, on Tuesday in a lengthy post on X, formerly Twitter. She added that Elon Musk is helping her fund the suit, which The Hollywood Reporter confirmed to be the case. She also claimed the companies had double standards and didn’t go after Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal for a 2017 post on X that compared former president Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Gina is seeking at least $75,000 (£59,390) in damages, as well as a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her.
