Gina Carano is once again slamming Disney.
If you were unaware, the 41-year-old actress was fired from the popular Disney+ series The Mandalorian in early 2021 over controversial posts on social media. In response, she sued the company in February 2024 with the assistance of Elon Musk. She is seeking to be recast and paid for damages to her career.
On April 9, Disney filed a motion in court to have the case dismissed “on the grounds that Disney has a constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano’s speech, such that the First Amendment provides a complete defense to Carano’s claim.”
Following Disney‘s new motion, Gina took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to hit back at the company.

“They are now on record letting everyone who works for them know that Disney will take any chance they get to control what you say, what you think or they will attempt to destroy your career,” Gina continued. “Glad we cleared that up.”
She added, “The First Amendment does not allow Disney to wantonly DISCRIMINATE, which is what they have done in my case and frankly have now admitted they did. If you ever wanted to know what today’s ‘Disney values’ are, they just told you.”
In an interview from last month, Gina addressed the lawsuit and what she hopes to get out of it. She also reflected on her last conversation with former costar Pedro Pascal.

That’s what they do,” Oubre said at an April 19 news conference ahead of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, where the Knicks play the 76ers in Game 4 Sunday.“He’s talking a little bit out of his ass there and he’s wrong, because they’re real fans,” “Sopranos” star Steve Schirripa told The Post.“I don’t know who he’s talking about.

Brent Lang Executive Editor There was something fitting about the setting. Paramount Pictures unveiled the first footage from “Gladiator II” on the stage of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a hotel that reimagines Ancient Rome in all its decadent splendor, albeit with a few more slot machines. Ridley Scott seems to be offering a bloodier version of that distant age, one that finds Paul Mescal enter the arena as a nobleman who has renounced his privilege.

Madonna’s lawyers have asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit filed against her on the grounds of late concert start times.In January, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, two fans who bought tickets to the December 13 date of Madonna’s ‘Celebration’ tour at the Barclays Center, filed a lawsuit against Madonna for starting the concert more than two hours past the stipulated 8:30PM start time.The lawsuit accused her of not only breaching contracts with ticket buyers, but also of “false advertising, negligent representation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices”.In the new filing, Madonna’s representatives have written: “Plaintiffs speculate that ticketholders who left the venue after 1am might have had trouble getting a ride home or might have needed to wake up early the next day for work.
