Gina Carano will no longer appear on The Mandalorian, but she only found out about it through a message released by the press, rather than from her bosses at Lucasfilm.
This is according to the former actress of a mixed martial arts fighter, who was fired from the ‘Star Wars’ spin after a number of controversial messages posted on social media, including one comparing the fate of conservatives in America to the Jews which was slaughtered at the time of slaughter. in Nazi Germany.
Here is the text of the image that Carano later removed from her Instagram account:
‘Jews were beaten on the street, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors … even by children. Because history is being edited, most people today do not realize that in order to reach the point where Nazi soldiers could easily gather thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply because they were Jews. How is it different from hating someone because of his political views? ”
Even before the image was posted that led to her shooting, Carano revealed that she had already been taken off on promotional tours to talk about Disney The +’s “The Mandalorian” season 2. Carano has come under fire earlier for sharing social media reports that include anti-mask rhetoric during the coronavirus pandemic, denying the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and a fiasco in which she mocked people by their preferred gender pronouns to use in a Twitter bio.
After this latest incident, Carano apparently found out through social media that she was no longer part of the program, after she originally expected to return for season 3, which starts filming later this year.
“Earlier last year before ‘The Mandalorian’ appeared, they wanted me to use their exact wording as an excuse to use pronouns,” Carano revealed when he spoke to former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss. ‘I refused and offered a statement in my own words. I made it clear that I did not want to do anything with it to mock the transgender community, and only drew attention to the abuse of the mob to force people to put pronouns in their bio.
“It was heartbreaking, but I did not want to take away the hard work of everyone who worked on the project. That’s why I said. This was the last time I was contacted about any kind of public statement or apology from Lucasfilm. I, like everyone else, found out through social media that I was fired. ”
In addition to her shooting of “The Mandalorian”, Hasbro also decided to stop making more action figures or toys based on Carano’s character Cara Dune. Carano was also dropped by her talent agents at UTA.
Weiss also questioned Carano about a second controversial statue she posted last year, which had a striking resemblance to a mural in England that had been declared anti-Semitic.
In response, Carano says the image she shared spoke of a larger message she was trying to convey, but claimed it had nothing to do with the Jewish community. The image was also later removed from her social media accounts.
“I was in great shock and confusion when some people said it was anti-Semitic,” Carano said. ‘When I went to take pictures, I noticed that the image was not the same as what people were referring to. I was honestly confused: should I take it down or let it go? I still do not know what the answer to the question is, because if you take it down, the mob will just attack you more.
‘The image for me was a statement that people should stand together and stand up, stop being so manipulated by the powers that be that they know what is best for you and play games with our lives. My heart has always had ultimate respect and love for the Jewish community. ”
In the days since her shooting from ‘The Mandalorian’, Carano has announced a new partnership with controversial right-winger Ben Shapiro and his website The Daily Wire which will see the 38-year-old former fighter develop and star in a movie for the exhaust valve.
Over the past few months, Shapiro has expanded the entertainment arm of his conservative website while consistently speaking out against the ‘cancel culture’ in Hollywood. Carano’s film is released exclusively to Daily Wire’s paid subscribers.
Carano’s recent operations also received support from UFC President Dana White, who was asked about her recent dismissal by Lucasfilm, which is owned by Disney – the same company that owns the UFC’s broadcast partner at ESPN.
“Leave Gina out,” White told UFC 258. “Listen, we’re making mistakes. We all make mistakes. ”
