    Disney Boss Defends Firing Gina Carano From 'The Mandalorian'

    by

    Disney+

    The executive at the Mouse House insists they’re not taking political sides when cutting ties with the Cara Dune depicter from the ‘Star Wars’ spin-off series.

    Mar 11, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Disney boss Bob Chapek is adamant officials were not taking political sides when they fired Gina Carano from “The Mandalorian”.
    The actress was axed from her role as Cara Dune in the “Star Wars” spin-off series on Disney+ last month (Feb21) after comparing being conservative in America to the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany.
    Executives at the Disney-owned Lucasfilm decided to cut ties with Carano for what they considered to be “abhorrent and unacceptable” remarks, and now Chapek has defended the move in a call to investors on Tuesday (09Mar21).
    “I don’t really see Disney as characterising itself as left-leaning or right-leaning, yet instead of standing for values,” Chapek explained in response to the drama.
    “Values that are universal. Values of respect. Values of decency. Values of integrity and values of inclusion.”

    Many people accused Disney of double standard for firing Gina Carano while keeping co-star Pedro Pascal despite his Nazi tweet.
    While Carano slammed the Mouse House and accused the studio of bullying, she had nothing but good words for Pascal.
    “I adore him. I know he’s said and done some hurtful things,” she said. “But we had an agreement after we realized we were a little bit politically different. We had an agreement that, first and foremost, you’re a human being. And you’re my friend first.”
    Pascal himself kept silent on the controversy, but castmate Bill Burr offered public support for the actress.
    “It’s a weird time…,” he said in a foul-mouthed rant. “Unless she did some truly horrible s**t or said overtly racist s**t… I don’t know. I think there is just too many channels (sic). And then you gotta do sensational s**t… I’m on that f**king show. Now, I gotta watch what the f**k I say.”
    “She was an absolute sweetheart. Super nice f**king person,” he added.

      Gina Carano Found Out 'The Mandalorian' Dismissal Through Social Media

      by

      Disney+

      The former MMA fighter claims that, like everyone else, she only found out she had been let go by Disney bosses from the ‘Star Wars’ spinoff series through social media.

      Feb 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Fired “The Mandalorian” star Gina Carano found out she had been dismissed by Lucasfilm bosses via social media.
      The film chiefs revealed the former stuntwoman was “no longer an employee” after she came under fire for comparing being conservative in America to the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, and she reveals executives didn’t even contact her to tell her she was gone.
      In a new interview with journalist Bari Weiss, she explains she found out she was no longer attached to the hit Disney+ series “through social media, like everyone else.”
      Carano also told the former New York Times writer Disney bosses previously barred her from doing any press for “The Mandalorian” second season following her ill-advised mockery of pronoun usage.

      “Earlier on last year before The Mandalorian came out, they wanted me to use their exact wording for an apology over pronoun usage. I declined and offered a statement in my own words,” Gina says. “I made (it) clear I wanted nothing to do with mocking the transgender community, and was just drawing attention to the abuse of the mob in forcing people to put pronouns in their bio.”
      She finally caved in to Disney pressure, stating, “I didn’t want to take away from the hard work of everyone who worked on the project, so I said, ‘OK.’ That was the last time I was contacted about any type of public statement or apology from Lucasfilm.”
      Carano has since removed the Instagram post, in which she compared conservatives and persecuted Jews during World War Two.
      Disney and Lucasfilm bosses released a joint statement last week (10Feb21), which read, “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

      Gina Carano Lands New Movie With Ben Shapiro After Being Fired From 'The Mandalorian'

      by

      Instagram

      The former MMA fighter has lined up a new project with conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro after she was let go from the ‘Star Wars’ spinoff series.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Gina Carano is moving on from her “The Mandalorian” firing by lining up a new film with conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro.
      The former mixed martial arts star was dropped from her role as Cara Dune by Lucasfilm bosses after she posted an anti-Semitic message on Instagram earlier this week (beg08Feb21) – following previous controversial and militant social media notes about mask wearing during the coronavirus pandemic and claims of voter fraud in the U.S. presidential election.
      Dune had been a recurring character in the “Star Wars” spin-off in the first two seasons, which aired on the Disney+ streaming service.

      Carano was also dropped by her representatives at United Talent Agency, but she is offering no apologies for her beliefs and she has now taken up an offer to work on her own movie with officials at Shapiro’s outlet, The Daily Wire.
      In a statement to Deadline.com, she said, “The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams – to develop and produce my own film – come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered.”
      The defiant actress went on to share words of encouragement to her fellow conservatives to continue speaking their mind, whatever the consequences. “I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob,” she added.
      “I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.”

      'The Mandalorian' Fans Demand Removal of Gina Carano Over Anti-Mask Tweets

      by

      Disney+

      The former MMA fighter, who portrays Cara Dune on the ‘Star Wars’ series by Disney Plus, draws the backlash after sharing her stance on COVID-19 protective measures and the presidential election.

      Nov 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Fans of “The Mandalorian” are calling for actress Gina Carano’s role to be recast over a series of anti-mask tweets amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
      The former mixed martial arts fighter portrays Cara Dune on the Disney+ Star Wars series, but she hasn’t been winning fans on social media after sharing her stance on COVID-19 protective measures and the U.S. presidential election.
      Carano took to Twitter over the weekend, November 13-15, to share an image of two people purposely putting face masks over their eyes.
      “BREAKING NEWS: DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT LEADERS NOW RECOMMENDS (sic) WE ALL WEAR BLINDFOLDS ALONG WITH MASKS SO WE CAN’T SEE WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON,” the meme caption read.

      Gina Carano voiced what seemed to be anti-mask stance amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
      The posting prompted the launch of the #FireGinaCarano hashtag as several social media users expressed outrage.

      “Woah, Gina this is extremely irresponsible. If you are referring to the election, there is no proof of any fraud,” one user rebuffed Carano’s tweet. “If you are referring to mask wearing, we should be doing that and if we all did it we would be able to go outside sooner.”

      One social media user reminded Gina Carano about the irresponsible nature of her tweet.
      Another slammed the wrestler-turned-actress, “She’s spread bats**t conspiracy theories about covid, spread bats**t conspiracy theories about election fraud… She no longer gets the benefit of the doubt.”

      Another Twitter user slammed Gina Carano over her anti-mask tweet.
      “On a serious note, Disney needs to f**king do something about this. Gina Carano needs to walk away from ‘The Mandalorian’. There’s no place for people like her in the Star Wars community,” another critic added.

      A critic called for the firing of Gina Carano over her anti-mask tweet.
      Bosses at Disney+ have yet to comment on the controversy.
