Gina Carano denounced the double standard policy she believes exists at Lucasfilm and promised to fight the cancellation culture.
American actress Gina Carano, who was recently fired from the series ‘The Mandalorian’ after comparing the current political situation in the United States with that of Nazi Germany, last Sunday accused Disney and Lucasfilm of intimidating their employees.
“Anytime I was ready to be fired because I’ve seen this happen to a lot of people. I’ve seen the looks on their faces. I’ve seen the bullying that takes place […] They left Twitter, they stopped talking, they appeared on their red carpets and they are depressed and sad, ”said Carano during an interview on The Ben Shapiro Show.
“I was like, ‘They’re coming for me, I know they’re coming.’ They made it very clear through their employees that they came for me. I thought I was going to fall fighting and I was going to be myselfemphasized the actress, who played the role of Cara Dune.
Likewise, Carano denounced the double standard policy he believes exists in Lucasfilm, which is owned by Disney, and compared his case to that of Pedro Pascal. The 2018 protagonist of ‘The Mandalorian’ compared undocumented children held in cages on the southern border of the United States to Jews in concentration camps, but was not fired.
“I won’t fall without a fight”
On the other hand, Carano promised to fight against the culture of cancellation, a concept that consists in withdrawing support or ‘canceling’ a person who said or did something offensive or questionable. “My body is still shaking. It’s still devastating. But what about the idea that this is happening to someone else, especially someone who can’t do this the way I can? No, they can’t. They won’t make people feel that way‘said Carano.
“If I give in, it’s going to be okay for these companies, who have a history of lies, to lie and do this to other people. And they’ve done it to other people. And I’m not going to fall without a fight.” the actress added.
Carano was fired in mid-February after stating on her Instagram account that today as a Republican in the US is like being a Jew during the Holocaust. The statements sparked outrage on the web, while a Lucasfilm spokesperson called them “disgusting and unacceptable.”
However, the actress stated on Sunday that her intention was to ‘bring people together’, although she added that she had learned she should have been more careful with the use of the word ‘Nazi’. “If you say the word ‘nazi’ and if you call someone ‘nazi,’ you should have a little more respect,” said Carano.
