Gina Carano is 'moved to tears' after judge REJECTS Disney's motion to dismiss her lawsu

Gina Carano said she was 'moved to tears' after a judge ruled that her lawsuit against Disney can proceed, after the company tried to have it dismissed.

The actress, 42, sued the mega-entertainment brand for discrimination in February 2024, with the assistance of Elon Musk, over her 2021 firing from the Star Wars series Mandalorian.

Carano had played Cara Dune for the first two seasons of the hit show, which streams on Disney+. She was fired after she compared the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany to conservatives in modern America in a social media post.

On Wednesday, following the court ruling, she shared a lengthy Instagram statement, as well as a clip from her 2021 interview with the Daily Wire.

'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,' she wrote.  

Carano started out her statement by quoting the court's ruling, 'The court DENIES defendants motion.'

She went on, '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.'

'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.'
