Gina Carano's Suit Against Disney/Lucasfilm Moves to Discovery

I hope the popcorn holds out! Gina Carano Gets Another Big Win Against Disney As Court Rejects Disney's Attempt To Block Discovery As It Appeals To Dismiss The Case

Gina Carano got another big win in her lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm as Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett rejected Disney’s request to block discovery as it appealed its failed motion to dismiss to the Ninth Circuit Court.

Gina Carano was fired from her role in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, because she dared to stray from the Progressive talking points. She is suing, with the financial assistance of Elon Musk. I just find the whole thing amusing. (How do you spell "Schadenfreude?")

Carano filed her lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company back in February with the lawsuit noting it “is a civil action arising from Defendants wrongful termination of Carano’s employment in retaliation for Carano’s lawful exercise of her right to speak and express her views. Specifically, Defendants—under the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek—fired Carano because of her posts (‘the Posts’) on various social media platforms including X (formerly known as Twitter). Carano composed and published the Posts while she was off-duty and away from the workplace.”

The suit also alleges, “Defendants terminated Carano’s employment and took other retaliatory actions to limit and deny her future employment opportunities, including but not limited to making maliciously false statements about Carano with the intention of damaging her reputation and, thus, her ability to find and retain work.”

So now Gina and her legal team will get to see all of the emails, memos from Disney/Lucasfilm about how the person who doesn't tow the Progressive line must be destroyed. I don't know when, or even if, any of that will become public knowledge. Discovery is only just starting. It should be entertaining if and when it does come to light.
