I guess Carano's post-Disney movie career with Ben Shapiro wasn't paying the bills. With Musk having skin in the game this shitshow is gonna be so fun to watch, but the better part of me knows Disney is just gonna settle out of court for some undisclosed amount and the chuds will say they "won."

“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,” the lawsuit says. “And so it was with Carano.”

She should lose and be sentenced to 50 years of hard labor just for this

What would compel these chuds to write this? kombucha-disgust is everyone just reddit-brained?

Just stick a few Palestinian flags on it and phone the police about a 'Hamas stronghold'

It'll get bombed the next day

Hope both sides somehow lose

god im so sick of hearing about this chud someone please just :minecraft: him already

[-] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago

All you had to do was not tweet and you'd be flush with cash and even if your career tanked you could pay bills with nerd conventions because you were in the Good Star Wars Show. Good job derailing the gravy train.

Pretty funny watching her jumpstomp a rake on this one.

"Help! I got fired for being a bigot!"

Got a fiver that says Elon is just bankrolling her "case" for gross reasons.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

What you don’t believe that musk is either a) altruistic or b) has principles?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Speaking of orthodoxy, the right wing one she follows publicly is all in for firing anyone for any reason, lest it be woke.

Also, as far as I know, in the US you can fire whoever you want whenever you want for no reason so good luck

Damn, too bad being a conservative isn't a protected class

ron-soy moment.

DeSantis has already learned what happens when you come at The Mouse, Carrano and Musk are fukken done.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Think Musk might be richer than Disney, but he'll probably get bored pretty quick and abandon this lol

[-] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Might be a Trump-Giuliani type situation where Musk just gets her in legal trouble, bankrupts her, and leaves her out to dry

[-] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago

Lmao how many years ago was that?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago

Four. Elon is really trying to be the guiding star of chuds, but he is just tailing them.

If conservatives don't believe impacting a companies reputation and drawing scrutiny is grounds for getting fired then Dylan Mulvaney should sue Bud Light

Conservatives believe racism is a civil right

That's the state's rights.

I vaguely remember she was in Red Alert 3 as a communist sniper lady

You vaguely remember? I can't go a single year without recollecting this banger.

Pedro Pascal just sitting by like i-told-you-dog

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

he got her like a half dozen second chances too.

he's related to Allende. if i were him i'd have a burning hatred of right wingers

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, Pres Allende was his mom's cousin, and they had to flee the country due to the coup.

Pedro's so hard to read politically. I bounce between him being a "good lib" and "leftist, but really good at hiding it." Either way, he's definitely a more patient man than me. I don't think I could work with someone like Gina Carano and politely correct her that many times.

my partner has a fantasy that he will go mask off and we'll one day have our Chairman Pascal but i think he's probably just a socdem; but the cool, latin kind not the lame, western kind

sicko-wistful

but i think he's probably just a socdem; but the cool, latin kind not the lame, western kind

At the very least, he pushes the boundary of "cool (for a famous person)," but I think you're right. If I remember correctly, he said something supporting Boric before he got elected.

Musk is 100% gonna sexually harass this lady

The levels of being out of touch. The divorced dad energy is off the charts

[-] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

Conservatives spent decades creating at-will employment state by state, and then turn around and shit and piss themselves when it bites them in the ass.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

So I was under the impression that her contract was up, having only signed for single seasons at a time, and that Disney simply elected to not contract with her again. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure there's absolutely 0% chance of her getting anything.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Actual screenshot from the lawsuit lmao

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Bert and Ernie are from Sesame Street, not The Muppets. I hope the case gets thrown out just for that.

Edit: They also don't seem to be owned by Disney either, unless they actually originated on The Muppets.

"Notably in 2004, Disney acquired The Muppets from The Jim Henson Company, consisting of much of The Muppets film and television library. However, the acquisition did not include Sesame Street. Sesame Street ownership still currently falls under the Sesame Workshop, formerly the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW)."

She is a dreadful actor, just terrible.

Her only decent role was in the movie Haywire which was edited with unbelievable precision to try and hide the fact that she cannot act whatsoever.
