Disney Seeks Dismissal of Gina Carano Lawsuit Over Mandalorian Firing

Disney has filed a motion to dismiss Gina Carano's wrongful discharge and sex discrimination lawsuit over her firing from The Mandalorian, stating that her public trivialization of the Holocaust was the final straw for the company. Disney insists that it has a constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech, citing the First Amendment as a complete defense to her claims. Carano had taken Disney to court in February seeking to regain her role and damages, but the company, along with Lucasfilm and Huckleberry Industries, has made it clear that she will not be reinstated. Carano has since aligned with conservative media and appeared in productions by The Daily Wire and Breitbart News, while a fourth season of The Mandalorian appears to be on hold.
