Gina Carano, Disney, Lucasfilm Settle Lawsuit

Gina Carano has settled her lawsuit with Disney and Lucasfilm after her 2021 firing from 'The Mandalorian' due to controversial social media posts comparing US conservatives to Jews during the Holocaust. Carano alleged wrongful termination and discrimination, arguing her dismissal was due to her conservative views, while claiming similar behavior by male co-stars was tolerated. The lawsuit, filed in 2024 with financial support from Elon Musk and X, was resolved under undisclosed terms, with both parties agreeing to dismiss the case. Lucasfilm released a statement praising Carano's professionalism and openness to future collaboration, indicating a shift from their previous position. Carano thanked Musk and her supporters, expressing enthusiasm for her continued career in the arts. The settlement concludes a high-profile dispute over free speech, workplace rights, and social media conduct in Hollywood.
