The suit details that Carano was required by Disney to meet with a representative from the LGBTQ+ group Glaad after online behaviour that was seen as anti-trans, yet she refused. She was then asked to meet with a group of LGBTQ+ Disney employees but again refused and was fired soon after.
Interesting - I’d have thought someone who clearly has a history of using steroids would be more empathetic to those who’s gender doesn’t match their outward appearance
I don’t know what part about this story I hate more; she was good in the role and entertaining but refused to even even meet with LGBT individuals.
Or the fact that the mouse was entirely justified in their actions here after giving her two very easy outs to save her job. If the mouse looks good next to you during a conflict, you definitely fucked up.
Also stinkrat needs to.go to Mars already and either have his rocket explode or get run over by a smart far.
I’m not about to be lectured by a bunch SJW activists, even if I generally agree with them. I can’t blame her there, it sounds unbearable.
But she knew what the deal was when she skipped those meetings, and you can’t come back with a law suit saying you were unfairly fired. She chose to not play the game, but still wants the disney paychecks.
I don’t know what you’re expecting to accomplish here. She spouted hateful things about a group of marginalized people, told that as a public figure she was not allowed to do that while on Disney payroll, and given an opportunity to save her job. She was being asked to sit down in a private meeting with individuals who identify as LBGT, not being forced to do PR work like hosting a fundraiser or having alterations to her contract obligating her to do screen work that she wasn’t interested in.
I would get fired from my job for making social media posts like she did, and there is absolutely no way my employers would be willing to say everything was forgiven if I just sat down in a meeting or had lunch with a handful of people I had indirectly insulted. She wasn’t being treated unfairly or being made to change her position on a subject publicly, she was being asked to stop spreading hate speech.
mate if you don’t want to be told what to do dont be a fucking actor. That’s literally the entire job.
Who’s lecturing you? You just chimed in.
Typically that’s not what it is at all, but that is how the fashy media paints it.
The purpose of those kinds of meetings, is for shitty people to be placed faced to face with one or more LGBT persons (or in other situations a black person, or a Muslim or whatnot). And maybe, just maybe, the shitty person can learn, than e.g. someone gay or trans; while slightly different, largely they are just people.
I mean, it was either get lectured by the people you have been disparaging or get fired. If I had to go to a meeting because I didn’t realize something I said was hurtful, I’d just be happy to still have a job.
The problem was treating her like she’s not just hateful.
The problem was treating her like she’s not just hateful.
They gave her the choice to play the game and pretend she’s not hateful, or just be hateful. She chose the latter.
Ah, “SJW”, “CRT”, “Woke” etc. - words that right wing opinion manipulation campaigns load with anything unpopular amongst their base so they can unite in hate against the “other” group, even if no two people agree on who belongs in it and why.
Hard downvote because calling people sjw betrays the fact that you don’t undertand that people just wants to live and let live.
Wow, what an arcane trixster you are
Oh look, another Peter Thiel vs. Gawker situation. Except Disney has much better lawyers than Gawker did.
Let’s see who blinks first. I’m guessing it won’t be Disney.
Also there’s the fact that gawker did publish revenge porn. This is an actress being fired for saying something extremely insensitive
This is not the same at all. Disney did not out anything private about her or Musk. They also did not publish revenge porn of her. She is a public transphobe and a Holocaust denier.
And also that the Hulkster actually had a case. Gawker repeatedly refused to comply with court orders to take Hulk’s tuna can video down.
This is just a wanna-be martyr who got fired because she couldn’t keep her goddamn mouth shut about her stupid conspiracy theories and ride the Mouse’s cash train. But hey, watching Muskie burn even more money is always entertaining, so fucking let it rip.
I get that Hulk had a case, but he couldn’t have afforded to bring it himself. So Peter Thiel, who has endless money and an axe to grind with Gawker for outing him, funded it.
Which is sort of similar here, except that Musk’s axe to grind is because Disney stopped giving Twitter money and is “woke,” so it’s even more petty.
It was more about who is funding the case than whether the case has merit.
The PayPal mafia really is enjoying living up to the name.
Musk vs The Mouse
Mouse Musk
eau de toilette
Not to be confused with The Mouse and The Mask.
What about The Mouse and the Motorcycle?
Why sue? Doesn’t she make enough money with her residuals from the Hunter Biden bio-pic?
Disney has a lot of conduct clauses in their contracts. Or at least they used to years ago when a couple friends worked for them.
I performed at Disney World in my high school chorus and my contract had conduct clauses.
It also gave them the right to use my image and voice “in perpetuity and throughout the universe.”
universe
“Uh, I’m gonna need you to specify this universe, or all possible universes - yeah in writing - no, I haven’t been to any other universes but jeeze, “through-out” isn’t exactly explicit and - hello? hello?”
Nah that’s a legit clause. It also reserve to Disney a license to your publicity in any medium, tangible or intangible, now known or unknown. Common language for entertainment contracts.
so you’re saying it covers all universes?
Oh man, how many images of high schoolers etc. does Disney have the license for? That’s an AI training treasure trove right there.
This was back in the 90s so they probably weren’t thinking about it, but I’m sure there are some grainy digital photos of me somewhere they’d use.
As for the how many of them: We performed at their Christmas Extravaganza or whatever, and there were probably 200 kids in the chorus. We only performed twice on one day, but since it runs every day for three months, that’s a lot of kids they got to sign the contract.
But hey, free trip to Disney with my friends so that was nice. Our accapella version of Bad Touch was a big hit.
Oh no, her right to not suffer the consequences of her actions was infringed. She should be allowed to say whatever she wants and no one should be able to get upset, they have to accept it, it’s not like other people have rights, only her.
As much as I enjoyed her character, her side drama wasn’t worth it. :(
Her character was fun, but I didn’t think she handled the “deeper” scenes where they tried to fill out her character.
I loved the show, though, and thought she had potential for future seasons. I don’t miss her not being on the show, and knowing she’s a nutjob erases any sympathy I’d have for her getting Mandy’d.
I bet Starlink users are happy to fund this kind of stuffs
And Tesla drivers
Why do all these fucking propoganda parrots think their maveriks? Bitch, you aint a radical thinker. You got fired for reposts.
Another former athlete turned tragic CTE case.

Elon has super weird tits
We don’t need to body shame Elon. There are scads of things we can behavior shame him on, and that has a chance of positively affecting the world (not him, he’ll never see this, but someone out there might see this and reconsider thinking he’s cool.)
“Let them fight!”
MechaMouse vs. Qzilla
Businesses should be able to fire anyone they want, but not ME!
I’m sad that a Lego set came with her minifig. I’m more sad an almost badass Star Wars chick fell to the dark side.
