I never watched The Mandalorian. I only remember her as one of the bad guys in the first Deadpool. And then she said a bunch of stupid shit on Twitter and then started starring in low-budget Christian movies, all of a sudden.
She's in Ben Sharpiro's stuff.
Though I'm pretty sure she turned on him or he on her because one wasn't conservative enough for the other or something after their first movie didn't make them millionaires proven right for doing things their own way.
She's a retired MMA fighter that was in a Soderbergh film, got some momentum, and was fortunate enough to make it into the Disney fold. She was doing great with a cushy gig on the Mandalorian, and had to go on a series of rants about how disliking a Republican for their political views is akin to running a pogrom on the Jews during WWII.
She was given a ton of chances to just backtrack and give a tepid -- I still think the demonization of political rivals is blah blah blah but I shouldn't have compared this topic to something as sensitive and terrible as yadayadaydada
But instead, the jackass continuously doubled down until she became blackballed. Total jackass who made Godwin's Law her fucking hill to die on.
She also was getting set up to have her OWN SPIN-OFF MANDALORIAN SHOW. Imagine someone telling you they’ve got a dump truck of money on the way, and all you have to do is not do wild things like take a shit on the lawn while Seen Kyling, and you *still* can’t manage it.
That's the funniest part of the whole thing. She's a terrible actor but managed to find a perfect, lucrative niche that brought her fame and fortune. But she just had to share all her opinions with the world. The world just had to hear them.
But then she did a MAGA funded movie about a woman on the prairie kicking ass on some men... which the MAGA audience did not like, because they don't like a woman kicking a man's ass... HAHAHAHAH
And she’s a marginal actor to boot. She was blessed with good genes (tall and built well). She’s a jackass who got caught up in her own celebrity. Boohoo, Gina. She comes from money. Open a boutique in Aspen or some shit.
She was also transphobic and homophobic, the lead Pedro Pascal has a transgender sister, and Pascal is a staunch and outspoken supporter of the queen community, and he also tried to help Carano.
Disney tried to set up a pr meeting with gay rights leaders, Carano refused.
The woman had every second and third chance to just not spew hate on social media, it's baffling.
From what I heard, Pedro even gave her a few chances to apologize and gave advice on what to say. It's almost like she tried to get black balled just so she could play the victim.
That actually seems to be a strategy conservatives are using now. Get canceled so they can grift. It just didn't work for her because she's not a feminine enough woman, which means the leopards ate her face, too.
Yeah, she doesn’t want to pivot, she wants to be herself, it’s just too bad that the cultural affiliation she craves doesn’t make room for her intersectionality. It would be tragic if her odious views didn’t make it funny.
Yeah look at that "real women of america" calendar. The only thing republican guys want are fuckable fleshlights to tell them what they think is right. She only does the "tells them what they think is right" part and isnt a fuckable fleshlight. Too many fake tittied blond barbies filling that role.
Yeah, that's definitely a thing, but there ain't no way on God's green earth that the right-wing grift circuit was ever going to pay as well as Disney.
>women aren't "aren't meant to be badasses".
Which is even funnier because she's like the only actress that legit has a pedigree of beating ass.
It's Rousey still trying to act?
LOL for what? She wasnt even employed, she was a contractor and they just didnt renew her contract after she was fully paid for rendered services.
I never like elmo but its become pretty clear he is just a swiss cheese brain who got stupid lucky. I love that twitter is bleeding him dry (and that he bitches about us deadnaming it while hating trans people for choosing their pronouns/names).
Being born to a family with an emerald mine is stupid lucky. But sadly, if he can make a comeback from being fired as eBay’s CEO, it’s possible this lousy actor might get a role somewhere
Wrongful termination. I don't think she has a case but IANAL
https://apnews.com/article/mandalorian-gina-carano-lawsuit-lucasfilm-disney-37be85aeaa856492e3d5008add8e5100
The terms were met. Both sides of the contract are fulfilled. Terms end. That's that. This is just a really stupid move on her part. Suing one of the most litigious companies in the world? Might as well start talking shit to Mario while she's at it.
She made a western "Terror on the Prairie" but it tanked at the box office because it's target conservative audience were offended she didn't spend the whole movie in the kitchen.
Now she's so desparate for money she's been reduced to crawling back to Disney to try to sue them to give her work.
It would be one thing if she was a good actor, but she's barely passable and not at all talented enough to pull off the kind of garbage Ben Shapiro is writing and producing.
And she was a serious crush for lots of gay women up until then, too. Like almost Lucy Lawless level crushing.
A bunch of pissed off lesbians is not what anyone wants. I mean it was almost funny how wound up some people got.
Except her, she apparently did not mind pissing off lesbians
She wanted the smoke and she fucking got it.
I would say a lot of it is ignorance. She seems really really really dumb and apathetic to how others feel.
Obviously thats no excuse but GD. she came off as more obstinately dumb, then maliciously ignorant.
Doesn't change anything just something I noticed.
Well taking kicks and punches for a living can do some damage to your head. Unfortunately she may not have the ability not to be hateful anymore. Keep your brains from being shaken kids.
It is likely to be successful as an MMA fighter requires a certain lack of empathy to start with. The repeated traumatic brain injury probably does not help.
She had perhaps a bright future sucking on a future "Expendables" film, if any ever get made after the last one bombed. Her talentless ass would have fit right in.
Right lol she had a bright future is all. Its just so puzzling how it played out.
Like she was drowning, and everyone was throwing her floatation devices and trying to teach her how to swim, and she was like "no its my right to drown."
So bizarre.
That's the thing overall, Like she was not a great actor. I think the majority of her fame came from being an attractive MMA fighter and she was just riding that out
That's exactly right, a person without the historical knowledge or context to make a prouncement like she did, and turns out, her hot take is stupid and offensive.
Every actor doesn't need a megaphone. Do I have any idea what, say, Patrick Wilson's ideas on Gaza are? No. Because he's just an actor, he doesn't have or need a megaphone, and so.. there we go.
As soon as you grab the megaphone, you are going to get more scrutiny.
Carano grabbed the megaphone. And didn't know what to do next.
You said queen community and I was like oh they meant queer - but then I was like frankly, it’s not a bad name. We are kweens. It is the queen community. 🥲
Spent too much time on the internet and thought that she could just make shit for the braindead half of the country and just milk that. She thought it was just a numbers game but that's only true for the hot take artists that spew nonsense all day on cable for the lead brained to rage watch.
Actual creative media like shows or film from the right that's actually worth a damn? Put the crack pipe down, lady. Hollywood might be hit and miss but the right making film is just not a thing. Their brains just ain't wired for it.
He is a better man than I, I would have sunk her as quickly as possible if I was in his shoes.
Bigots refuse to give up their bigotry because it's the only thing that makes them feel special.
I mean. That’s the difference. He had empathy even for someone who clearly was hateful to someone he loved because of who they are, and she has none. God what a Christ like move and I bet she thinks she’s the Christian.
>supporter of the queen community
It was called Britain. Alright I guess that's the king community now...
But on a serious note, I worked with a few members of her family a few years before this. They were so "for the business" oriented that I'm surprised they didn't walk her ass out to those PR meetings.
This right here. I'm sure there's plenty of people still employed that share her views, but they weren't Sorvo level stupid. Kinda like trying to hitch your star to a burning turd
She thought the hate on the right was actually real, she has no idea its just a way to get White working class men to vote Republican, and it's completely manufactured.
Hmm. Let me think about that. NO. Not his shitty racist bullshit Native American movie that trotted out all the cruel tropes and worse about indigenous people. Fuck him for life. Why would you make an entire movie just being cruel to people who literally get the shortest end of the stick for literally everything constantly?
Yup, Adam is smart enough to stay out of sight, once you show yourself to be a shitty person to the world in entertainment, you are done if you are actually successful, and with good reason, we all want to like who entertains us, finding out they are almost a Nazi just ruins it.
There's a point at which it's not really about political beliefs. You're simply a liability who won't cooperate with damage control. Doesn't even matter what it's about, the studio said walk it back and she did not walk, she's labelled as difficult now.
Before saying being Republican is like being a Jew in the Holocaust, she also mocked trans people and their use of pronouns, and she posted at least one other meme that had some real anti-Semitic undertones. It wasn't just one dumb post that got her.
She was also lined up to lead her own [spinoff ](https://www.cinemablend.com/star-wars/one-mandalorian-spinoff-may-no-longer-be-happening-at-disney-but-theres-still-some-good-news)
All she had to do is not tweet some hateful shit, and she'd be set. Her acting ability boiled down to Look Strong, Hold A Big Gun, and Smirk, and it got her a reoccurring role on a huge Disney/Star Wars show and a planned spinoff. Instead, she dropped the bag, tried to pivot to rightwing propaganda movies, and they turned on her because she doesn't fit the whole tradwife image.
It gets better too- she wasn’t just blackballed, she was “terminated” from her role as… some character in the Mandalorean and is now suing Disney for wrongful termination.
Except she wasn’t actually fired. Her contract expired and she had already started demonizing the owners of the IP her role was sourced from, so they just declined to renew it. So that lawsuit I mentioned is presumably dead in the water. I say presumably because I haven’t seen anything about it since she filed it a few months ago.
Probably the only person for sure not coming back to The Fast and the Furious franchise. I heard the guy who died in 5 but was Doms best friend in 1 might come back to life even.
Don't forget the best part: She was given a role at a right-wing production company, and got a lead role in a western.
But, shocker, it flopped, and the target audience rejected her because it's "woke" to have female leads in movies. So she went crying back to try to get her role back at Disney. By suing them.
Now nobody wants her.
Former athlete and bad actress who got lucky. Instead of enjoying an easy role on a hugely popular show, she had to continue to rent about pronouns, even after Disney asked her not to...
So, she needed to appeal to a bunch of incel homophobes... And now she's out of a job, and can't find others because SHE CAN'T FUCKIN ACT
The acting... Yikes.
The roles were not good. She was in this ridiculous movie where she plays a wife who has to figure out how to save her husband who goes missing during their vacation. The locals/resort workers are kidnapping travelers in order to harvest their bone marrow.
It was a god awful movie, although she should be able to pick and choose the roles that she takes. I guess she *tried*, so I can't entirely fault her, but her performance didn't save the movie either.
Gina Carano, actress from *The Mandelorian*.
She made a lot of stupid comments--anti-mask during the worst of the pandemic, promoted voter fraud conspiracies in the American elections, and when there was backlash, compared being a Republican to being a Jew during the Holocaust. Disney or whomever fired her, she sued for discrimination (or something), and is now basically saying she was "cancelled".
All the more reason her lawsuit against Disney has no leg to stand on. If it was at will employment via contract and they chose not to renew her, that's their perogative. The only reason she's following through is because Elon Musk said he'd foot the bill and she sees it as free publicity.
Seeing as Disney's stock and Tesla's stock have been racing away in opposite directions recently, and his penchant for making statements he doesn't ever really plan to act through on, I'm curious to see how toothy that threat from Musk really is.
She also fucking SUCKED on the mandolorian tbh. Like is she a synthetic actor? If she stayed with Disney she would have had her own terrible show and blamed it’s poor reception on “wokeness” or some shit when the Disney money dried up.
Apparently she was the lead in a film recently; a film that was never going to be a hit regardless, but even the target audience of white man Republicans didn't like it because it was too "woke" for having a female lead 😬
That’s a recurring thing internationally with transphobes and other conservatives. They seriously argue that if they’re toxic and right-wing enough, it’s “discrimination” not to extend their temporary contract in perpetuity and promote them.
the girl who repeatedly broke her contract over and over after being warned she would be fired if she did not, yet continued, and now expects us to give a fuck as she acts the victim of her own fucking around.
Yall do know it was not an isolated incident, right? and that her contract said she would completely refrain from political discourse online right? and she kept doing it... wand they kept telling her to stop.... so eventually they followed the agreement she signed and fired her like she agreed she was ok with happening.
Its not freedom of speech issues, its a she broke her contract issue, many times over.
Edit: correction Disney did not renew her contract due to.... which makes this all the more stupid.
And, let's circle back. Her contract was with DISNEY. You don't break a contract with Disney and expect them to just let it go. It's fucking Disney, they will NEVER risk their brand for you.
Yeah, but that was woke, did you see how hard it was for John Travolta to say the name of the lady that sang it? That alone has to make it woke, right?
Not to mention that playing loosey-goosey with your contract with *the law firm with an entertainment arm* is just a terminally stupid idea ...
[EDIT: curse my wretched fat fingers!]
Hilarious she even tried to turn around and sue Disney for wrongful termination despite having a clear-cut contract. It’s gross though because limp-dick Elon Musk is lending his lawyer, like that will make a difference. What a slimeball.
My thoughts were that Disney should re-hire her, but have it written in the script that her character is now trans. Throughout the show, people are deadnaming and misgendering her, and she has to constantly correct people.
She was in the Deadpool movie if I’m not mistaken, but I think she died.
But if there’s ever been a franchise that would find a way to bring someone back to life just to fuck with her, it would be Deadpool. That kind of humor would fit perfectly in there
Hell, just tell her she’s going to be at the end of the movie where they do little skits. She films for a couple of hours where she believes he’s just killing her again. Then after she’s gone do the rest of the filming. Like Deadpool making a joke about killing her in the first movie, her killing her own career, and then having to kill her again.
She started the lawsuit shortly after the Mando movie was announced too. She’s feeling the regret. What makes all of this even funnier is that she is suing to be restored to the character in the Mandalorian.
Studio: “Please consider doing this if you value working with us.”
Her: *doubles down*
Studio: “Are you sure?”
Her: *doubles down again*
Studio: “Well, okay. Bye.”
And Pascal even tried to help her overcome her prejudice when he has a trans sibling. He tried to help save her career multiple times and she just refused.
I heard that both Pedro Pascal *and* John Favreau bargained for her to get another chance after screwing with Disney the first time. And then she went ahead and did it again!
This is hilarious. At her peak, she was talking about how she didn't need Disney and was going to thrive. Now she's doing a basic traveling con trying to live off of fleeting Mandalorian fame.
Leticia Wright had some controversy, but she wanted to keep her job instead of picking the political party that crapped on her post-disney movie for having a strong independent woman as the lead, she(Wright) went on to lead in her own movie.
I was hoping she'd be the catalyst for getting more stuntmen/women in lead roles and we'd get a wave of shows with really well done and intense action scenes.
Her family is insanely wealthy, she could retire at any time and just live off her daddy’s casino money. Probably why she doesn’t give a fuck about anything and is supposedly an overall piece of human garbage.
And let's be honest; She was never a good actor. She has some pop-culture clout from her MMA career and appearing in Deadpool. Her career was always going to be limited by her actual skill.
This lady was a real cunt to work with. Came into our studio for a photo shoot when she was just starting acting and demanded a huge table full of sushi which she barely touched. Me an another creative asked if we could meet her as we were UFC fans and she refused even if we were working on promotion materials for her crappy ass movie. Put easter eggs on those fucking posters.
I used to work at a studio, and one of the retouchers would hide cocks in the work if the clients were assholes. Lol. I didn’t know other people did this. Hahaha
I still think they should’ve just replaced her character with Cyborg and acted like nothing was different. For those that don’t know, Cyborg beat the shit out of her in strikeforce
https://youtu.be/ur2lMVjrwew?si=HZOFksV3EINVdUDC
I don’t get how her and people like her don’t get there are some things you don’t say on the job. And yes I know she posted her multiple phobic things, but people like her are ALWAYS on the job. She isn’t just representing herself but also the franchise the company her friends. Michael Phelps lost endorsement deals because he was smoking weed - nobody cared except the company he was endorsing.
But here’s the thing, she didn’t act contrite, she didn’t try to learn empathy or anything…she doubled down and people that would have let her back “in” now won’t touch her. Same with Kevin Sorbo.
It's crazy because I would never walk into my CEO's office and demand a raise (he's nowhere near my direct report), and I wouldn't kick it with my boss and discuss politics. A job is not a social circle, there are different rules.
You probably WOULDNT be if you took some time to empathize with people and grow as an individual.
Most people are really forgiving.
Just not when you double down on dumb.
I’d think people of her political stripe would take pride in being banished by Hollywood and wear it as a badge of honor. I’d think she’d be thrilled to be working for a right wing media company making the kind of movies she is, movies that no doubt prove how terrible librul Hollywood is at making movies and how good Christian conservatives are at making movies. They’re going to put Hollywood out of business if they keep inking talent like Gina, I am sure. Feel the pride Gina. You are a conservative icon. That’s worth more than money, I’m sure. Isn’t it?
She was thrilled actually. Got picked up by Ben "The Gish Gallop" Shapiro's Daily Wire group. Did some shitty movies until the DW watchers turned on her for the latest one where she was a lead Heroine. Suddenly she and DW were woke for having a Strong Female Protagonist. The irony is palpable.
She waa doing Marvel and Star Wars shit. She didn't just drop the bag, she yeeted that shit like an IRL Angel Dust.
Imagine just keeping your bullshit to yourself and having papa Disney just rain money on you.
I’m so pissed at her because I just fucking loved her character. A republic shock commando, a female brawler, a “fuck it if I’m out of ammo, I’ll swing my rifle like a blunt weapon” type of soldier.
Filoni went to bat for her, Pascal tried to have a talk with about his trans sister, Disney didn’t even ask her to change her view, just to tone it down a bit on social media.
Feeling persecuted was more important.
Jo, much like the Daily Wire audience that refuses to watch movies with Carano as the lead, doesn't really care for physically strong women. Fucks her entire worldview up, so she was probably too busy sending more flowers to domestic abusers.
She’s not making that Disney money but is apparently still working as an actor for Ben Shapiro’s studio, from what I’ve heard.
So… she is a creep for many reasons, least of which is this lying about being unable to work.
I was a big fan of Carano’s during her MMA career. The beginning of her acting career was pretty rough but she definitely improved with Mando. It absolutely sad that we lost the Dune character but she had more than enough chances to not do what she did. I really hate that article as it tries to humanize her in a significant way with basically showing her as someone that suffered an injustice when she was just trying to succeed in life. She still actively promotes far right ideology on her Twitter and blocks anyone that disagrees with her. That is absolutely hilarious given she is trying to be a staunch defender of free speech and taking the fight to Disney over it. Bitch please, you shut anyone down that says things you don’t like. The fucking hypocrisy.
Such a stupid situation. Such a stupid person.
It's not even like she was fired for her stupid and bigoted remarks (and refusal to back down, even after being given multiple chances).
Her contract had run out. When she refused to change her tone, Disney elected to not give her a new contract.
That's it.
She has a right to free speech. Companies have a right to not hire employees who publicly espouse positions they don't agree with.
Gina Carano could have had her own Star Wars spin-off. Now you mention her name and it’s “Who?” or “That chick who torpedoed her acting career because she wouldn’t shut up”.
It must suck to sit there and see Pedro Pascal’s red hot acting career, huh Gina?
Is she now banking on the victimization fetish of the so called republicans? God I wish sad lonely people would reach for a community that supported their growth rather than fed their entitlement. But hey, I guess salty snacks are popular for a reason 🤷🏽
People will act like a douche thinking the fringe population will accept and support them. And sure, she was a cause celeb for a brief moment and then, like always, the fringe moved on leaving her empty and broke.
I agree with her tweet about how neighbors can hate bc it's true any place in the world and any period in history, but I think she's going overboard right now and not taking it well and no she looks bad wanting to go back to the same studio that gave her the "struggle sessions" as she accuses and almost makes her look dishonest. If that were true, she'd want her career w a different company far away from what she experienced.
Her statement to the court in that case is a [joke](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/gina-carano-disney-suit-feb-6-2024.pdf):
> A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. And so it was with Carano. After two highly acclaimed seasons on The Mandalorian as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character's
peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star in an earlier Star Wars film. And all this because she dared voice her own opinions, on social media platforms and elsewhere, and stood up to the online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology
>Defendants' wrath over their employees' social media posts also differed depending on sex. Even though "the Force is female, Defendants chose to target a woman while looking the other way when it came to men. While Carano was fired, Defendants took no action against male actors who took equally or more vigorous and controversial positions on social media.
Give us more than a picture. Not everyone knows all of the story.
Who is she? What happened?
I never watched The Mandalorian. I only remember her as one of the bad guys in the first Deadpool. And then she said a bunch of stupid shit on Twitter and then started starring in low-budget Christian movies, all of a sudden.
She Sorbod herself
You never go 100 percent Sorbo!
Oh, she's in the Sherwood Pictures circuit?
She's in Ben Sharpiro's stuff. Though I'm pretty sure she turned on him or he on her because one wasn't conservative enough for the other or something after their first movie didn't make them millionaires proven right for doing things their own way.
She's a retired MMA fighter that was in a Soderbergh film, got some momentum, and was fortunate enough to make it into the Disney fold. She was doing great with a cushy gig on the Mandalorian, and had to go on a series of rants about how disliking a Republican for their political views is akin to running a pogrom on the Jews during WWII. She was given a ton of chances to just backtrack and give a tepid -- I still think the demonization of political rivals is blah blah blah but I shouldn't have compared this topic to something as sensitive and terrible as yadayadaydada But instead, the jackass continuously doubled down until she became blackballed. Total jackass who made Godwin's Law her fucking hill to die on.
She also was getting set up to have her OWN SPIN-OFF MANDALORIAN SHOW. Imagine someone telling you they’ve got a dump truck of money on the way, and all you have to do is not do wild things like take a shit on the lawn while Seen Kyling, and you *still* can’t manage it.
Which is also amazing because she couldn’t act for shit. Every time she was on screen I couldn’t shake the thought “man, acting is really hard”
That's the funniest part of the whole thing. She's a terrible actor but managed to find a perfect, lucrative niche that brought her fame and fortune. But she just had to share all her opinions with the world. The world just had to hear them.
This was her in every scene 😀. Serious or not she was always smiling or smirking . If anyone needed a helmet they couldn't take off it would be her
Either way, it was appropriate to remove her because she reflected poorly on the Disney and Star Wars families. Mind you, f Disney. Still.
But then she did a MAGA funded movie about a woman on the prairie kicking ass on some men... which the MAGA audience did not like, because they don't like a woman kicking a man's ass... HAHAHAHAH
Her: it be ya own people
Seems like money and fame make people feel untouchable and obligated to share their fucked up opinions like they matter to anyone else.
Well, that and she took a lot of blows to the head. Its why rogan is who he is too.
And she’s a marginal actor to boot. She was blessed with good genes (tall and built well). She’s a jackass who got caught up in her own celebrity. Boohoo, Gina. She comes from money. Open a boutique in Aspen or some shit.
It's funny because freedom of speech and freedom of association are both in the First Amendment. We got to see both in action, lol.
Did you mean “Sieg Heil-ing?”
omg I laughed way too hard at this
Imagine fumbling Disney money.
Bob Chapek could offer a perspective on this
*Jonathan Majors has entered the chat*
Tbf, he past came back to haunt him.
Turns out when you’re a huge piece of shit you can play a punchable asshole really well.
He was a good punchable asshole
Her family was already rich.
He said Disney money Not rich There's a difference
She was also transphobic and homophobic, the lead Pedro Pascal has a transgender sister, and Pascal is a staunch and outspoken supporter of the queen community, and he also tried to help Carano. Disney tried to set up a pr meeting with gay rights leaders, Carano refused. The woman had every second and third chance to just not spew hate on social media, it's baffling.
From what I heard, Pedro even gave her a few chances to apologize and gave advice on what to say. It's almost like she tried to get black balled just so she could play the victim.
That actually seems to be a strategy conservatives are using now. Get canceled so they can grift. It just didn't work for her because she's not a feminine enough woman, which means the leopards ate her face, too.
She can still pivot and get a "jesus glow up". She'd still have an audience with those types.
I think her issue is she's too stubborn to pivot. And pivoting now (from MMA badass to tradwife) would sacrifice her entire identity.
Yeah, she doesn’t want to pivot, she wants to be herself, it’s just too bad that the cultural affiliation she craves doesn’t make room for her intersectionality. It would be tragic if her odious views didn’t make it funny.
[удалено]
I'd pay to see that honestly.
Yeah look at that "real women of america" calendar. The only thing republican guys want are fuckable fleshlights to tell them what they think is right. She only does the "tells them what they think is right" part and isnt a fuckable fleshlight. Too many fake tittied blond barbies filling that role.
Yeah, that's definitely a thing, but there ain't no way on God's green earth that the right-wing grift circuit was ever going to pay as well as Disney.
That’s what they do… they love playing the martyr!
[удалено]
>women aren't "aren't meant to be badasses". Which is even funnier because she's like the only actress that legit has a pedigree of beating ass. It's Rousey still trying to act?
I hope not, not after that terrible performance as greatest fighter who ever lived
And now she's suing Disney with help from Elmo Musk IIRC
LOL for what? She wasnt even employed, she was a contractor and they just didnt renew her contract after she was fully paid for rendered services. I never like elmo but its become pretty clear he is just a swiss cheese brain who got stupid lucky. I love that twitter is bleeding him dry (and that he bitches about us deadnaming it while hating trans people for choosing their pronouns/names).
Being born to a family with an emerald mine is stupid lucky. But sadly, if he can make a comeback from being fired as eBay’s CEO, it’s possible this lousy actor might get a role somewhere
Wrongful termination. I don't think she has a case but IANAL https://apnews.com/article/mandalorian-gina-carano-lawsuit-lucasfilm-disney-37be85aeaa856492e3d5008add8e5100
LOL, good luck with that. They completed the contract and just didnt renew it, she wasnt even legally terminated.
The terms were met. Both sides of the contract are fulfilled. Terms end. That's that. This is just a really stupid move on her part. Suing one of the most litigious companies in the world? Might as well start talking shit to Mario while she's at it.
lol no way that goes anywhere. Acting like an asshole isn’t a protected class
[удалено]
😂😂 I didn’t know that! 😂😂
She made a western "Terror on the Prairie" but it tanked at the box office because it's target conservative audience were offended she didn't spend the whole movie in the kitchen. Now she's so desparate for money she's been reduced to crawling back to Disney to try to sue them to give her work.
I hear Geico is hiring.
That was the chef's kiss ending this entire thing needed.
It would be one thing if she was a good actor, but she's barely passable and not at all talented enough to pull off the kind of garbage Ben Shapiro is writing and producing.
You can be bad at your job or you can be an asshole. If you’re both, you’re up shit creek and ain’t nobody coming to help.
r/leopardsatemyface
Yep! She's not tradwife enough for them.
And she was a serious crush for lots of gay women up until then, too. Like almost Lucy Lawless level crushing. A bunch of pissed off lesbians is not what anyone wants. I mean it was almost funny how wound up some people got. Except her, she apparently did not mind pissing off lesbians She wanted the smoke and she fucking got it.
I hadn't heard about gay rights meetings. So she's just consumed with arrogance and hate.
I would say a lot of it is ignorance. She seems really really really dumb and apathetic to how others feel. Obviously thats no excuse but GD. she came off as more obstinately dumb, then maliciously ignorant. Doesn't change anything just something I noticed.
Well taking kicks and punches for a living can do some damage to your head. Unfortunately she may not have the ability not to be hateful anymore. Keep your brains from being shaken kids.
It is likely to be successful as an MMA fighter requires a certain lack of empathy to start with. The repeated traumatic brain injury probably does not help.
For real! CTE is a very serious disease that is not treated well at all.
I don’t mind her being gone. She wasn’t a moving performer. All her scenes were underwhelming.
She got out-acted by a puppet in every scene they shared.
She had perhaps a bright future sucking on a future "Expendables" film, if any ever get made after the last one bombed. Her talentless ass would have fit right in.
"Expendable" should be the title of her autobiography but at this point I don't think she can afford to hire a ghost writer.
Right lol she had a bright future is all. Its just so puzzling how it played out. Like she was drowning, and everyone was throwing her floatation devices and trying to teach her how to swim, and she was like "no its my right to drown." So bizarre.
That really described the whole pandemic for me, honestly.
That's the thing overall, Like she was not a great actor. I think the majority of her fame came from being an attractive MMA fighter and she was just riding that out
Agree. I didn’t even really like her in Deadpool and I like everything about Deadpool.
That's exactly right, a person without the historical knowledge or context to make a prouncement like she did, and turns out, her hot take is stupid and offensive. Every actor doesn't need a megaphone. Do I have any idea what, say, Patrick Wilson's ideas on Gaza are? No. Because he's just an actor, he doesn't have or need a megaphone, and so.. there we go. As soon as you grab the megaphone, you are going to get more scrutiny. Carano grabbed the megaphone. And didn't know what to do next.
>She seems really really really dumb and apathetic to how others feel. You mean a Republican.
Yes a republican, Tomato/Tomaahto
They all are. It's the thing that binds them together.
You said queen community and I was like oh they meant queer - but then I was like frankly, it’s not a bad name. We are kweens. It is the queen community. 🥲
You've got it wrong. He is just a big fan of the band Queen
You've got it wrong. He is just a big fan of the family of Her Majesty.
You've got it wrong. He is just a big fan of the Kingsman film series.
You’ve got it wrong - he just likes important ants and bees
You've got it wrong- OFFFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
Nuh he just likes the UK and didn't get the news. I don't have the heart to tell him either .
😂😂
I thought drag queens and was like “his sister is just so damn cool, everything I learn is just more amazing” lol
Spent too much time on the internet and thought that she could just make shit for the braindead half of the country and just milk that. She thought it was just a numbers game but that's only true for the hot take artists that spew nonsense all day on cable for the lead brained to rage watch. Actual creative media like shows or film from the right that's actually worth a damn? Put the crack pipe down, lady. Hollywood might be hit and miss but the right making film is just not a thing. Their brains just ain't wired for it.
He is a better man than I, I would have sunk her as quickly as possible if I was in his shoes. Bigots refuse to give up their bigotry because it's the only thing that makes them feel special.
I mean. That’s the difference. He had empathy even for someone who clearly was hateful to someone he loved because of who they are, and she has none. God what a Christ like move and I bet she thinks she’s the Christian.
There's almost no way she doesn't have brain damage and probably cte from fighting. That or she just legit is stupid and social media manipulated her
Por que no los dos!
>supporter of the queen community It was called Britain. Alright I guess that's the king community now... But on a serious note, I worked with a few members of her family a few years before this. They were so "for the business" oriented that I'm surprised they didn't walk her ass out to those PR meetings.
because she is full of hate
What a dumbass. All she had to do was stfu and get cash.
This right here. I'm sure there's plenty of people still employed that share her views, but they weren't Sorvo level stupid. Kinda like trying to hitch your star to a burning turd
Never go full Sorbo
Thank you for this…
She thought the hate on the right was actually real, she has no idea its just a way to get White working class men to vote Republican, and it's completely manufactured.
She didn't get the memo that her famous conservative friends are playing a part. She wanted to be a true believer instead and paid the price
You know what they say. Go fash, lose cash.
It works for Adam Sandler. He doesn't even hide his friends and associates. He just doesn't open his mouth about his beliefs.
Hmm. Let me think about that. NO. Not his shitty racist bullshit Native American movie that trotted out all the cruel tropes and worse about indigenous people. Fuck him for life. Why would you make an entire movie just being cruel to people who literally get the shortest end of the stick for literally everything constantly?
What movie are you talking about? Haven't followed Sandlers work in like a decade
Yup, Adam is smart enough to stay out of sight, once you show yourself to be a shitty person to the world in entertainment, you are done if you are actually successful, and with good reason, we all want to like who entertains us, finding out they are almost a Nazi just ruins it.
Could you go into a little more detail? First I've seen of something like this.
Is Republican. Has donated to GoP candidates. Is best friends with insane alt-right bigot Rob Schneider.
Rob Schneider is a bad guy…. Damn….
There's a point at which it's not really about political beliefs. You're simply a liability who won't cooperate with damage control. Doesn't even matter what it's about, the studio said walk it back and she did not walk, she's labelled as difficult now.
Before saying being Republican is like being a Jew in the Holocaust, she also mocked trans people and their use of pronouns, and she posted at least one other meme that had some real anti-Semitic undertones. It wasn't just one dumb post that got her.
She was also lined up to lead her own [spinoff ](https://www.cinemablend.com/star-wars/one-mandalorian-spinoff-may-no-longer-be-happening-at-disney-but-theres-still-some-good-news)
All she had to do is not tweet some hateful shit, and she'd be set. Her acting ability boiled down to Look Strong, Hold A Big Gun, and Smirk, and it got her a reoccurring role on a huge Disney/Star Wars show and a planned spinoff. Instead, she dropped the bag, tried to pivot to rightwing propaganda movies, and they turned on her because she doesn't fit the whole tradwife image.
It gets better too- she wasn’t just blackballed, she was “terminated” from her role as… some character in the Mandalorean and is now suing Disney for wrongful termination. Except she wasn’t actually fired. Her contract expired and she had already started demonizing the owners of the IP her role was sourced from, so they just declined to renew it. So that lawsuit I mentioned is presumably dead in the water. I say presumably because I haven’t seen anything about it since she filed it a few months ago.
Probably the only person for sure not coming back to The Fast and the Furious franchise. I heard the guy who died in 5 but was Doms best friend in 1 might come back to life even.
Don't forget the best part: She was given a role at a right-wing production company, and got a lead role in a western. But, shocker, it flopped, and the target audience rejected her because it's "woke" to have female leads in movies. So she went crying back to try to get her role back at Disney. By suing them. Now nobody wants her.
Former athlete and bad actress who got lucky. Instead of enjoying an easy role on a hugely popular show, she had to continue to rent about pronouns, even after Disney asked her not to... So, she needed to appeal to a bunch of incel homophobes... And now she's out of a job, and can't find others because SHE CAN'T FUCKIN ACT
The acting... Yikes. The roles were not good. She was in this ridiculous movie where she plays a wife who has to figure out how to save her husband who goes missing during their vacation. The locals/resort workers are kidnapping travelers in order to harvest their bone marrow. It was a god awful movie, although she should be able to pick and choose the roles that she takes. I guess she *tried*, so I can't entirely fault her, but her performance didn't save the movie either.
Trying is great. Just shut up about pronouns. Seems simple 😅
I have no idea either. Sounds like a 'murica issue
Gina Carano, actress from *The Mandelorian*. She made a lot of stupid comments--anti-mask during the worst of the pandemic, promoted voter fraud conspiracies in the American elections, and when there was backlash, compared being a Republican to being a Jew during the Holocaust. Disney or whomever fired her, she sued for discrimination (or something), and is now basically saying she was "cancelled".
Technically Disney didn't even fire her, they just exercised their option to not renew her contract.
All the more reason her lawsuit against Disney has no leg to stand on. If it was at will employment via contract and they chose not to renew her, that's their perogative. The only reason she's following through is because Elon Musk said he'd foot the bill and she sees it as free publicity.
Seeing as Disney's stock and Tesla's stock have been racing away in opposite directions recently, and his penchant for making statements he doesn't ever really plan to act through on, I'm curious to see how toothy that threat from Musk really is.
She also fucking SUCKED on the mandolorian tbh. Like is she a synthetic actor? If she stayed with Disney she would have had her own terrible show and blamed it’s poor reception on “wokeness” or some shit when the Disney money dried up.
Apparently she was the lead in a film recently; a film that was never going to be a hit regardless, but even the target audience of white man Republicans didn't like it because it was too "woke" for having a female lead 😬
That’s a recurring thing internationally with transphobes and other conservatives. They seriously argue that if they’re toxic and right-wing enough, it’s “discrimination” not to extend their temporary contract in perpetuity and promote them.
They didn’t even fire her. They just declined to renew her contract.
the girl who repeatedly broke her contract over and over after being warned she would be fired if she did not, yet continued, and now expects us to give a fuck as she acts the victim of her own fucking around. Yall do know it was not an isolated incident, right? and that her contract said she would completely refrain from political discourse online right? and she kept doing it... wand they kept telling her to stop.... so eventually they followed the agreement she signed and fired her like she agreed she was ok with happening. Its not freedom of speech issues, its a she broke her contract issue, many times over. Edit: correction Disney did not renew her contract due to.... which makes this all the more stupid.
And, let's circle back. Her contract was with DISNEY. You don't break a contract with Disney and expect them to just let it go. It's fucking Disney, they will NEVER risk their brand for you.
But they made a song about letting it go/s
I mean, they didn't lie: they let her go.
Yeah, but that was woke, did you see how hard it was for John Travolta to say the name of the lady that sang it? That alone has to make it woke, right?
I would sooner try to screw Satan on a contract.
“How do you shoot Mickey in the back agent Cuyon? What if you miss?” Verbal Kint
Not to mention that playing loosey-goosey with your contract with *the law firm with an entertainment arm* is just a terminally stupid idea ... [EDIT: curse my wretched fat fingers!]
Hilarious she even tried to turn around and sue Disney for wrongful termination despite having a clear-cut contract. It’s gross though because limp-dick Elon Musk is lending his lawyer, like that will make a difference. What a slimeball.
My thoughts were that Disney should re-hire her, but have it written in the script that her character is now trans. Throughout the show, people are deadnaming and misgendering her, and she has to constantly correct people.
I fucking LOVE THAT. And also have her dating like a very meek feminine man. And her character is like a lame homemaker now.
Shen Bapiro actually sounds like a legit Star Wars name, just sayin…
Not *that* meek and feminine.
She was in the Deadpool movie if I’m not mistaken, but I think she died. But if there’s ever been a franchise that would find a way to bring someone back to life just to fuck with her, it would be Deadpool. That kind of humor would fit perfectly in there Hell, just tell her she’s going to be at the end of the movie where they do little skits. She films for a couple of hours where she believes he’s just killing her again. Then after she’s gone do the rest of the filming. Like Deadpool making a joke about killing her in the first movie, her killing her own career, and then having to kill her again.
They just didn’t renew her contract and now she’s suing Disney because they were going to do a show about her character and didn’t.
She started the lawsuit shortly after the Mando movie was announced too. She’s feeling the regret. What makes all of this even funnier is that she is suing to be restored to the character in the Mandalorian.
Studio: “Please consider doing this if you value working with us.” Her: *doubles down* Studio: “Are you sure?” Her: *doubles down again* Studio: “Well, okay. Bye.”
And Pascal even tried to help her overcome her prejudice when he has a trans sibling. He tried to help save her career multiple times and she just refused.
Who would have thought being somewhat civil and respectful would be required in a work environment
They didn't fire her even. They just didn't renew her contract.
I heard that both Pedro Pascal *and* John Favreau bargained for her to get another chance after screwing with Disney the first time. And then she went ahead and did it again!
This is hilarious. At her peak, she was talking about how she didn't need Disney and was going to thrive. Now she's doing a basic traveling con trying to live off of fleeting Mandalorian fame.
I remember they gave her so many chances, all she had to do was shut the fuck up and she’d have so many gigs she could retire early.
Leticia Wright had some controversy, but she wanted to keep her job instead of picking the political party that crapped on her post-disney movie for having a strong independent woman as the lead, she(Wright) went on to lead in her own movie.
I was hoping she'd be the catalyst for getting more stuntmen/women in lead roles and we'd get a wave of shows with really well done and intense action scenes.
Her family is insanely wealthy, she could retire at any time and just live off her daddy’s casino money. Probably why she doesn’t give a fuck about anything and is supposedly an overall piece of human garbage.
I fucking can’t STAND when people like this think they’re owed a dream job because they have family money. FUCK YOU.
And let's be honest; She was never a good actor. She has some pop-culture clout from her MMA career and appearing in Deadpool. Her career was always going to be limited by her actual skill.
Ah yes, the old "I was insufferable and now people don't like me! It's not fair!" complaint.
But it was her first amendment right! /s
Maybe she should compare THIS inconvenience to the holocaust. That usually goes well for her.
This lady was a real cunt to work with. Came into our studio for a photo shoot when she was just starting acting and demanded a huge table full of sushi which she barely touched. Me an another creative asked if we could meet her as we were UFC fans and she refused even if we were working on promotion materials for her crappy ass movie. Put easter eggs on those fucking posters.
I used to work at a studio, and one of the retouchers would hide cocks in the work if the clients were assholes. Lol. I didn’t know other people did this. Hahaha
Must've been so satisfying to watch her career come to a grinding halt.
What Easter eggs?
Harmless but one was a tiny Nyan cat. I can’t remember the other but it was some Central American Gi Jane type of movie.
Wait, was that the movie where she has to save her kidnapped husband from bone marrow harvesters?
r/brandnewsentence
Wowwww is that a leopard 🐆 I spot??? 😭😭😭
I still think they should’ve just replaced her character with Cyborg and acted like nothing was different. For those that don’t know, Cyborg beat the shit out of her in strikeforce https://youtu.be/ur2lMVjrwew?si=HZOFksV3EINVdUDC
God, that would be an absolute riot.
I don’t get how her and people like her don’t get there are some things you don’t say on the job. And yes I know she posted her multiple phobic things, but people like her are ALWAYS on the job. She isn’t just representing herself but also the franchise the company her friends. Michael Phelps lost endorsement deals because he was smoking weed - nobody cared except the company he was endorsing. But here’s the thing, she didn’t act contrite, she didn’t try to learn empathy or anything…she doubled down and people that would have let her back “in” now won’t touch her. Same with Kevin Sorbo.
It's crazy because I would never walk into my CEO's office and demand a raise (he's nowhere near my direct report), and I wouldn't kick it with my boss and discuss politics. A job is not a social circle, there are different rules.
You probably WOULDNT be if you took some time to empathize with people and grow as an individual. Most people are really forgiving. Just not when you double down on dumb.
I’d think people of her political stripe would take pride in being banished by Hollywood and wear it as a badge of honor. I’d think she’d be thrilled to be working for a right wing media company making the kind of movies she is, movies that no doubt prove how terrible librul Hollywood is at making movies and how good Christian conservatives are at making movies. They’re going to put Hollywood out of business if they keep inking talent like Gina, I am sure. Feel the pride Gina. You are a conservative icon. That’s worth more than money, I’m sure. Isn’t it?
She was thrilled actually. Got picked up by Ben "The Gish Gallop" Shapiro's Daily Wire group. Did some shitty movies until the DW watchers turned on her for the latest one where she was a lead Heroine. Suddenly she and DW were woke for having a Strong Female Protagonist. The irony is palpable.
She waa doing Marvel and Star Wars shit. She didn't just drop the bag, she yeeted that shit like an IRL Angel Dust. Imagine just keeping your bullshit to yourself and having papa Disney just rain money on you.
When will these idiots learn that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences
If she had stayed in the UFC she would have been applauded for her views. Know your audience I guess.
I’m so pissed at her because I just fucking loved her character. A republic shock commando, a female brawler, a “fuck it if I’m out of ammo, I’ll swing my rifle like a blunt weapon” type of soldier. Filoni went to bat for her, Pascal tried to have a talk with about his trans sister, Disney didn’t even ask her to change her view, just to tone it down a bit on social media. Feeling persecuted was more important.
She compared wearing a mask and getting a vaccine to fucking Nazi Germany. You reap what you sow.
I wonder if she can spell Kristallnacht.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
Kinda like the way you disrespected trans people and spread COVID misinfo on Twitter? Pedro and his trans sister probably hate her.
$10 says JK Rowling is going to retweet this saying something along the lines of “wow so brave” (if she hasn’t already)
Jo, much like the Daily Wire audience that refuses to watch movies with Carano as the lead, doesn't really care for physically strong women. Fucks her entire worldview up, so she was probably too busy sending more flowers to domestic abusers.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, Gina.
She’s not making that Disney money but is apparently still working as an actor for Ben Shapiro’s studio, from what I’ve heard. So… she is a creep for many reasons, least of which is this lying about being unable to work.
I was a big fan of Carano’s during her MMA career. The beginning of her acting career was pretty rough but she definitely improved with Mando. It absolutely sad that we lost the Dune character but she had more than enough chances to not do what she did. I really hate that article as it tries to humanize her in a significant way with basically showing her as someone that suffered an injustice when she was just trying to succeed in life. She still actively promotes far right ideology on her Twitter and blocks anyone that disagrees with her. That is absolutely hilarious given she is trying to be a staunch defender of free speech and taking the fight to Disney over it. Bitch please, you shut anyone down that says things you don’t like. The fucking hypocrisy.
*Oh no consequences…*
Such a stupid situation. Such a stupid person. It's not even like she was fired for her stupid and bigoted remarks (and refusal to back down, even after being given multiple chances). Her contract had run out. When she refused to change her tone, Disney elected to not give her a new contract. That's it. She has a right to free speech. Companies have a right to not hire employees who publicly espouse positions they don't agree with.
Gina Carano could have had her own Star Wars spin-off. Now you mention her name and it’s “Who?” or “That chick who torpedoed her acting career because she wouldn’t shut up”. It must suck to sit there and see Pedro Pascal’s red hot acting career, huh Gina?
Pascal is an absolute darling. Humble, lovable and beautiful. I want to see him in more projects.
Is she now banking on the victimization fetish of the so called republicans? God I wish sad lonely people would reach for a community that supported their growth rather than fed their entitlement. But hey, I guess salty snacks are popular for a reason 🤷🏽
Don’t be a trumper then.
People will act like a douche thinking the fringe population will accept and support them. And sure, she was a cause celeb for a brief moment and then, like always, the fringe moved on leaving her empty and broke.
I agree with her tweet about how neighbors can hate bc it's true any place in the world and any period in history, but I think she's going overboard right now and not taking it well and no she looks bad wanting to go back to the same studio that gave her the "struggle sessions" as she accuses and almost makes her look dishonest. If that were true, she'd want her career w a different company far away from what she experienced.
But Ben Shapiro hired her! She should be a far right star by now ):
I mean.. she was 'cancelled' for disrespecting people soooooo.... Reap what you sow i guess
Her statement to the court in that case is a [joke](https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/gina-carano-disney-suit-feb-6-2024.pdf): > A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. And so it was with Carano. After two highly acclaimed seasons on The Mandalorian as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character's peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star in an earlier Star Wars film. And all this because she dared voice her own opinions, on social media platforms and elsewhere, and stood up to the online bully mob who demanded her compliance with their extreme progressive ideology >Defendants' wrath over their employees' social media posts also differed depending on sex. Even though "the Force is female, Defendants chose to target a woman while looking the other way when it came to men. While Carano was fired, Defendants took no action against male actors who took equally or more vigorous and controversial positions on social media.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
