Disney fired Gina Carano: “We are neither right nor left”

Angels. Disney CEO, Bob Chapek, insisted on Tuesday that the entertainment company “does not lean towards left or right policy”, after the controversy that led to the dismissal of the actress Gina Carano for your comments on social networks.

“We want both the way we work and the content we create to reflect the diversity of the world we live in,” Chapek said during an investor event.

The dismissal of Carana, one of the protagonists of the “Mandalorian” series, for denying the pandemic and other controversial comments about the transgender community, aroused harsh criticism on social networks from conservative sectors.

According to the main Disney leader, the actress’ contract was terminated due to the comments that Lucasfilm, the producer of the Star Wars franchise, considered “aberrant”.

Specifically, the controversy was triggered by a publication on social networks in which the actress compared the political situation in the United States with Nazi Germany.

“As history changes, most people do not realize that in order to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily arrest thousands of Jews, the government first challenged its own neighbors to hate them simply because they were Jews. How is it different from hating someone for their political views? “, The actress posted.

Although the message did not reflect a political alignment, the text was followed by a photograph of a man with his head covered in masks and the text: “Meanwhile in California.”

Carano has, on other occasions, opposed the use of masks, saying comments that racism does not exist and that supporters of the former president Donald Trump they are treated unfairly.

He once mocked the pronouns that some transgender people ask to be identified with and on other occasions published eggplants that reflected anti-Semitic conspiracies, among other messages that supported Trump’s repeated allegations of election fraud without evidence.

After Carano left “The Mandalorian”, some forums considered that Disney applied a double moral standard because the other protagonist of the series, Pedro Pascal, once compared detention centers on the Mexican border with concentration camps.

Carano has since signed with conservative newspaper The Daily Wire to produce content.
