Gina Carano, former star of The Mandalorian, said an email accidentally sent to her by Disney alerted her that her behavior was being monitored.
The MMA fighter and actress revealed that an email showing that Disney employees were following the #FireGinaCarano movement told her everything she needed to know about her future on the show, which is a joint production of Disney + and Star Wars Lucasfilm studio.
Carano said The Ben Shapiro Show yesterday (February 21): “They accidentally sent me an email, which was very enlightening, I knew it. I knew they were paying attention. I know that some people tried to defend me, but I know that they didn’t win in the end. “
The actress, who was fired from the series this month after posting a story on Instagram comparing being Republican in the current political climate in the United States to being Jewish during the Holocaust, said Disney chooses its favorites depending on its political loyalties.
“They are on top of me and watching me like a hawk, and I am watching people in the same production and they can say whatever they want, and that’s when I had a problem. I had a problem because I wasn’t following the narrative, ”she said.
Carono also told Shapiro that his Instagram post was misinterpreted, saying that she was “inspired by the kind spirit of the Jewish people who lived at that time”.
“When I posted this it was not something that I found controversial. It was something I thought, well, maybe we all need to ask ourselves how it happened. “
She added: “I have all the major publications saying that she is comparing conservatives and republicans to this and that is not what I was doing … I have love for everyone; I am not a hateful person. “
Carono played bounty hunter Cara Dune for the first two seasons of the Disney + show before being killed. But she revealed that she learned of her resignation on social media – not from a direct message.
“I found out I looked on the internet, and you know, you check your Twitter and I’m being a trend and the hash tag ‘fire Gina Carano’ worked.”
Despite the incident, Carano added to Shapiro that he does not regret his comments.
“I was prepared at any moment to be dismissed, because I have seen this happen to so many people. I saw the expression on their faces. I saw the bullying that happens, and when it started, they aimed their guns at you, and you know it’s just a matter of time. I’ve seen it happen with so many people and I thought to myself … ‘You’re coming after me, I know you are.’
“They are making it very obvious through their employees who were coming after me, so I thought, ‘I’m going to go down and stay true to myself.'”
In another news item, Carano recently claimed that his press for The Mandalorian the second season was suspended after she refused to post an apology written by the studio after alleging she mocked trans people.
