In a statement obtained by io9, a
Lucasfilm spokesperson said the following: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
The news comes after a day in which the hashtag #
FireGinaCarano trended on Twitter for hours. The night before, the actress shared an anti-Semitic story on her Instagram. It was soon deleted but
many fans captured it and
shared it on social media.
That, of course, came after
months of complaints about
Carano’s online presence, including mocking
covid mask mandates,
spreading conspiracies about the United States election,
liking posts disparaging the Black Lives Matter movement, and
deriding pronoun usage.
