Actress Gina Carano is suing the Disney Corporation, announcing billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is financially backing the lawsuit after the company fired her from a role over posts she made on Twitter.

Disney fired the ex-MMA fighter in Feb. 2021 from her role on “The Mandalorian” following several social media posts pushing back against various establishment narratives, including the cancel culture against conservatives, Covid lockdowns, vaccines and more.

“Today is an important day for me–I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm & @Disney,” Carano said in an X post Tuesday.

“After my 20 years of building a career from scratch, and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter, terminating me from The Mandalorian: ‘Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm & there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities are abhorrent & unacceptable.’”

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” she continued. “The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.”

During the Covid hysteria of 2021, Carano shared a meme urging people to reject hatred instilled via government propaganda, which somehow got misconstrued by the MSM as: she compared conservatives to Jews in the holocaust.

She also angered the establishment by criticizing Covid lockdowns for causing suicide and depression, vaccine mandates, masks and lampooned trans insanity.

Lefties also freaked out when she changed her Twitter handle to include the pronouns “boop/bop/beep.”

In her lawsuit declaration Tuesday, Carano summarized the firing essentially boiled down to a violation of her right to free speech.

“The thing is I never even used aggressive language. I shared thought provoking quotes, pictures, memes & occasionally I used my own words, not with aggression but with respect & the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times.”

“Look with your own eyes at what I posted and ask yourself, for example, where did I compare Republicans to the Jewish people in the holocaust? I didn’t,” she continued. “Ask yourself why they were calling me a racist, was there any merit behind that or history of it whatsoever? No. Look at why I was called a transphobe–for making droid noises from Star Wars? ‘Beep, bop, boop’ was obviously directed to the online bullies and did not in any way denigrate transgender people.”

Carano went on to note X owner Elon Musk recently declared he would fund lawsuits against organizations that fired individuals based on the content of their X social media posts.

“Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney.  Still, I did respond back ‘I think I qualify’ & thousands of people agreed–but I did not expect anything.”

“To my surprise,” she continued, “a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others. Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers & X believe whole-heartedly in my case & are moving forward.”

Carano went on to thank Musk for honoring his word and said she looks forward to holding Disney accountable.

Following Carano’s announcement, Musk went on to ask people discriminated by Disney or its subsidiaries to contact him for “legal support.”
