Actress Gina Carano has filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm in response to her 2021 termination over a controversial social media post where she drew a parallel between being a Republican and the experience of Jews during the Holocaust.
Carano, who played warrior Cara Dune, is asking the court to order Disney s Lucasfilm unit to reinstate her in the role and seeks compensatory damages of up to $75,000 plus emotional distress and punitive damages to be determined at trial.
The actress filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm for sex-based discrimination and wrongful termination over her February 2021 series exit, with Elon Musk supporting her legal filing.
