Gina Carano went on The Ben Shapiro Show to continue unpacking the recent events surrounding her shooting from Disney +’s The Mandalorian – especially her relationship with her former costar Pedro Pascal.
As previously reported, the actress was fired from the Lucasfilm and Disney series after she started posting on social media, as Lucasfilm described it, a horrific material that reflects the current divided political climate in the US with Nazi Germany compared. That made ‘#FireGinaCarano’ trend and eventually she was.
In the interview with Shapiro, she talked about how Pascal was not fired because he posted a 2018 tweet in which he compared undocumented children in cages in the US with Jewish people in concentration camps. Shapiro points out that it seemed to a double standard that Disney and Lucasfilm did not do the same with Pascal as with Carano.

“I love Pedro,” Carano said in the interview. ‘I know he said and did hurtful things. ‘But we had an agreement after realizing that we were a little different. We had an agreement that you are human in the first place. And you’re my friend first. ‘
She said that they are both passionate about their beliefs and that she thinks differently because of their different experiences. “I know we both followed our tweets wrong,” she said. “We are not perfect. We are people. But he’s not a bad person. He is a sweet man. ‘
After the #FireGinaCarano trend, she said Disney was watching her ‘like a hawk’. She returned to the double standard and said that all these things had happened, she had seen people in the same production say everything they wanted. “I had a problem because I did not go along with the narration,” she said.
In the interview, she also said, ‘I’m not the only one who’s ever been bullied by this company, and I know it so deeply. I could share a story that would turn things around in the media, but I can not, because it would sell out a friend … everyone is afraid of losing their job. ”
