Backed by Elon Musk, Gina Carano sues Disney over 'Mandalorian' firing

[exboyfil]

29. Should have filed this in state court

California code prevents employers from restricting participation in politics.

Also I think she potentially has a case for defamation from this quote attributed to Disney management:

“Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

The goal of the lawsuit is to get to discovery where it becomes apparent that Disney management has a group think attitude towards a specific political position (in this case a liberal one that attempts to be more inclusive and accommodating). That combined with the backlash towards the approaches taken that seem to single out straight white men as the only (or primary) privileged group that further forms a narrative that Disney isn't interested in that group for its products and services.

I don't see much of a case her for her, but that isn't the goal.
