Gina Carano, the actress who was fired from The Mandalorian for offensive and antisemitic posts, is now suing Lucasfilm and Disney for discrimination and wrongful termination. And because her comments were made on X, formerly Twitter, Elon Musk is funding the lawsuit as part of his initiative to cover costs for users who faced discrimination for activity on his site.
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude & thank you to @ElonMusk & @X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light,” Carano said in a statement shared to X on Tuesday.
Carano is hoping to get a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her as her Mandalorian character, the bounty hunter Cara Dune, whom she played for two seasons of the Disney+ show. She is also seeking at least $75,000, plus punitive damages.
