At the end of the day Carano simply refused to play ball with her employer. When you look at Wright, Gunn, Liu for example they all were willing to put out approved apology statements or go radio silent. Carano refused to do either. At the end of the day it was enough for them (and no, they are not going to bleed subscribers over this). Look at Chris Pratt who is also very conservative. The twitter mob has come after him but he knows how to play the game and maintain his public image so Disney doesn’t have a reason to be concerned. It all comes down to their profits and if someone is damaging their brand or not.
Oh, and can we stop saying Carano was “cancelled”? She wasn’t cancelled, she was fired. And she got a new job that every outlet has reported on.

And she got a new job that every outlet has reported on. Chris Pratt is money maker, and also is the son in law of the former California Governor and a Kennedy by marriage. So he will be protected as the golden eggs hen he is.- The day his movies don't make more money, that they he will be cancelled. Carano isn't a movie star huge money maker, she is a celebreted actress for making the uneasy transition from a wrestler fighter to a Hollywood star, and to redifine the woman role in Hollywood movies. Don't get me wrong, Maybe she is a money maker selling wrestling tickets, selling commercial products and cover magazines, but not selling box office film tickets.-

But he knows when to shut his mouth and lay low to let things blow over. He’s still a company man.

Of course, he knows exactly when to shut his mouth, he has training of being in the bussiness for 20 year.- But today you cannot replace Pratt with another guy. So he will not be cancelled, and his wisdom of not respond to injorious and fake accusations, saves his career, for at least 5 more years.- It's difficult, but not impossible to replace Carano with another femele star, because apparently, fighting actresses are very few (Scarjo, Milla, Charlize and Michelle Yoeh), and none with her curriculum. I think that because she is already a rich woman, she doesn't care about consquences.- The main difference is that Chris Pratt in a bad day, he has the power to destroy the career of the man or woman that critized him via twitter.- If Hollywood today has to decide between Elliot Page and Chris Pratt will chose Prat, imagine a minor starlet.-

Carano will be the guest on new employer Ben Shapiro's Sunday podcast (will be on Youtube tomorrow) for those who want to hear what she has to say - which has already been covered by our chatter in this thread - not the government - a company, biting the hand that feeds her, not entitled to a job....... Here's a released quote from it: popculture.com/celebrity/news/gina-carano-breaks-silence-on-star-wars-firing-in-new-interview/"I’ve been through so much, and I’ve seen so much now, clearly, of the bullying that’s been taking place, and I saw it before,” she claims in the interview, which will reportedly air on Sunday. “I’m not the only one that’s ever been bullied by this company, and I know that so deeply." She continued to tell Shapiro, with whom she has already secured a new movie deal, “They’ve been all over me and they’ve been watching me like a hawk, and I’m watching people on the same production and they can say everything they want, and that’s where I had a problem. I had a problem because I wasn’t going along with the narrative…” Carano adds, “I could share a story which would turn things around in the media but I can’t because it would sell out a friend........Everyone is afraid of losing their job.”

I remember when I was a teenager one of the first pieces of advice for job applicants was to moderate what you say on social media because employers might look you up. Turns out being a dick in the public square might affect your job prospects, how bout that. Watching assholes being forced to rediscover this fact is an endless source of entertainment. Just browsing through this thread, so I may have missed it, but Chuck Wendig was fired by Disney after his comments about conservatives on Twitter after Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed.

if fansbase made Barb from Stranger Things an Emmy nominee, should not be impossible for the Trump minions to nominate Carano.-

EXCLUSIVE: Gina Carano will have her revenge. In her first project since The Mandalorian, we can reveal that the actress is set to star as a traumatized woman who hires a long-hauler to track down an infamous serial killer. The Hitcher and Near Dark scribe Eric Red has written the script for the untitled….........
...............This is the project former MMA star Carano has been developing with conservative media company The Daily Wire, which has been ramping up its film ambitions. The team is in negotiations with a director and is aiming for a Q1 2022 release. David Guglielmo (The Pale Door) is casting.
The Daily Wire told us it will release the movie exclusively in the U.S. to its members, while also making the movie available worldwide.
Carano told us: “I’m completely ignited to be creating this thriller with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend. I feel I am exactly where I want and need to be at this moment in my life; it feels as if I have wings.”deadline.com/2021/08/gina-carano-mandalorian-new-movie-daily-wire-hitcher-eric-red-1234812717/

Finally I've seen the Mandalorian and by faar she is the best from the cast, you can see that she loves to fight!!! Very carismatic actress, ideal for the role. Kathleen Kennedy, probably inluenced by Steven Spielberg, made a huge mistake. After all Spielberg forced micheal Bay to fired Megan Fox for a similar comment, that Carano retwitted.-

Seccond, Gina is the Best of the femele cast, while Amy Sedaris is the seccond. Giancarlo Exposito as the main villian gaves the best performance, but Carano Is the most credible actor of the show. I believe her as a warrior, I can't imagine a young Exposito as a warrior. Old Exposito is Great.- Rosario Dawson who Is a far superior actress looks bad with all the CGI and blue print.- Carano Is for Cara Dunne what was Stallone for Rocky.-

The freedom brigade love to ramble about how important freedom is until someone exercises their freedom all over their fucking face and then freedom is wrong.

I assume you are on Disney’s side in this situation though? Yes, this is the Melissa Barrera situation - no right to that job.....tough break, way it goes........I suppose it's possible there's some extenuating case by case uniqueness factor that makes wrongful termination an actual thing in some cases - but I tend to doubt it in Hollywood which is legally tight as a business practice.........we'll see if anything comes of it......my guess as someone who has fired people irl and can do it even now is that people who are legit arguing wrongful termination file it immediately..........
