Back in July, a judge DENIED Disney's motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Gina Carano, who was fired from their show 'The Mandalorian' for posting her political views on X. Elon Musk backed her lawsuit on First Amendment grounds.
After the judge dismissed their motion in July, Disney attempted to appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
Yesterday, that appeal was also denied by a judge.
Gina Carano (@ginacarano) ~ UPDATE:
After the Judge DENIED Disney's request to DISMISS my case, Disney requested permission to immediately appeal that decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and delay all discovery while that appeal takes place.
Yesterday, October 16th, 2024 we learned that the Judge DENIED Disney’s unusual request.
I am obviously very pleased with the opportunity to keep moving forward with the judicial process and into discovery.
While I wish this was not necessary as it is not my desire to be in this battle in court. I will not shrink away from it because it is hard or uncomfortable.
Again, a huge thanks to ALL of you who have shown me support daily, to my incredible lawyers and to Elon Musk
and the people at X for the opportunity in continuing this lawsuit and seeking justice.
Onward. 🙏
This is good news.
Disney does not want this to go to discovery. Because all Carano's legal team has to do is pull up political posts by fellow 'Mandalorian' star Pedro Pascal (who this writer loves, by the way) or comments by MCU star Mark Ruffalo to see this was discrimination against Carano.
The Critical Drinker (@TheCriticalDri2) ~ {Replying to @ginacarano} Almost makes you wonder what they're so desperate to hide ...
Easy. Disney doesn't want the discovery process to publicly reveal what evil assholes they truly are. It's all about image. But, I hate to break it to ya, Disney ... your once stellar image is already in tatters because of your transformation into woketard groomers. I sincerely hope you implode.
We're sure the internal memos are damning.
Nerdrotic (@Nerdrotics) ~ {Replying to @ginacarano} Take them to the woodshed.
ThatUmbrellaGuy (@ThatUmbrella) ~ {Replying to @ginacarano} Disney thinks they can do whatever they want in court. They tried using Disney + to skip accountability for someone's death FFS. They deserve to be wrecked.
The Mad Shogun Aaron Alexander (@MrNamelessOne) ~ {Replying to @ginacarano} They're not really afraid of losing a lawsuit, they're afraid of discovery because legally they have to turn over everything related to the suit, memos, company communications, etc. They don't want that footage of the struggle session they put you through out in public.
Andrew Palmer (@AndrewHMPalmer) ~ The appeal to the 9th circuit was court shopping. If anything, the most fundamental reason Trump must win is judicial appointments.
Judicial appointments to courts other than SCOTUS matter, too.
Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) ~ Sometimes you have to sue a 178 billion corporation just to make a point. Give 'em hell, @ginacarano!
