I sidste uge vandt Gina Carano en delvis sejr i sagen mod den tidligere arbejdsgiver Disney, som handler om, at Carano blev fyret fra The Mandalorian efter at have postet ting på Twitter, som underholdningsgiganten anså for upassende. Carano sagsøgte Disney med økonomisk støtte fra milliardær Tesla ejer Elon Musk, og nu har Los Angeles City Court afvist Disneys forsøg på at få sagen kasseret.
US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett siger følgende (via The Hollywood Reporter): "Disney had "not identified any evidence — in the Complaint or otherwise — to substantiate a claim that they employ public-facing actors for the purpose of promoting the 'values of respect,' 'decency,' 'integrity,' or 'inclusion.' Accordingly, Defendants' invocation of the supposedly detrimental effects of Plaintiff's 'mere presence' as one of Defendants' employees lacks constitutional import."
Carano diskuterer denne udvikling på Twitter og tilføjer: "I am moved to tears. After a brutal 3 1/2 years, I am being given the opportunity to move forward in the court of law before the judge and my peers to clear my name. I am so grateful for this opportunity."
"What happened to me was unacceptable, absurd and abusive, among other things. It should not have happened to me, and it should not happen to anyone else moving forward. Let it stop here.
"I quite literally fought to get to where I got to in my career through intense ups and downs, and I'll keep up that fight to continue doing what I love. I appreciate all of you who stood by me and defended me, and I am so sorry that similar situations have happened to some of you. I want you to know that I see you and I stand with you.
"Thank you to Elon Musk, a man I have never even met, who so graciously gave me a fighting chance. Thank you for standing for justice for all of humanity. May God bless you and your family for years to come because He has chosen you for such a time as this."

Med andre ord vil der blive afholdt en retssag, og med Musks advokatteams, som er temmelig stort, kan det meget vel føre til en betydelige erstatning, som Disney kan blive tvunget til at betale til Carano.
