Gina Carano continued The Ben Shapiro Show to continue to unzip the recent events surrounding his resignation from Disney + ‘s The Mandalorian – in particular his relationship with his ex-costar Pedro Pascal.
As previously reported, the actress was fired from the Lucasfilm and Disney series after she adopted social media to, as Lucasfilm described, post “abominable” material that compared the current divided political climate in the United States to Nazi Germany. This made “#FireGinaCarano” a trend and eventually it was.
In the interview with Shapiro, she talked about how Pascal was not fired for posting a 2018 tweet in which he compared undocumented children in cages in the United States to Jews in concentration camps. Shapiro points out how it seemed a double standard that Disney and Lucasfilm did not act similarly with Pascal as they did with Carano.

“I love Pedro,” said Carano in the interview. “I know that he said and did some painful things. “But we closed a deal after we realized that we were a little bit different politically. We had an agreement that, first of all, you are a human being. And you are my friend first. “
She said the two are passionate about their beliefs and acknowledges that they think differently because of their different experiences. “I know we both made mistakes in our tweets,” she said. “We are not perfect. We are human beings. But he is not a bad human being. He’s a sweet person. “
After the #FireGinaCarano trend came, she said Disney was looking at her “like a hawk”. She referred to the double standard and said that while all this was going on, she saw that people in the same production said what they wanted. “I had a problem because I wasn’t following the narrative,” she said.
In the interview, she also said: “I am not the only one who has been bullied by this company, and I know that deeply. I could share a story that would change things in the media, but I can’t because it would betray a friend … everyone is afraid of losing their job. “
