I feel like Disney or Lucasfilm or whoever it is, just certain people at that company\u2026I feel like I\u2019ve been being head-hunted and you can feel it,\u201d she said, explaining that she started to get the sense she was no longer welcome at the company late last year because of her views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a couple of weeks ago, Lucasfilm asked an artist that they employ to erase my character and put a different character in place, and he proudly announces this on Twitter, and erases my character, and puts another character in place,\u201d Carano added. \u201cAll the fans of Cara Dune were just outraged. They were like \u2018Why didn\u2019t you add the character? Why did you have to take off the character? Is there something wrong? Is Gina getting fired?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carano labeled her treatment, \u201cbullying\u201d and suggested that Disney and Lucasfilm foster a culture of intimidation when it comes to politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been through so much, and I\u2019ve seen so much now, clearly, of the bullying that\u2019s been taking place, and I saw it before. I\u2019m not the only one that\u2019s ever been bullied by this company, and I know that so deeply,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also not the only one, she said. Speaking to Shapiro, Carano revealed that there are individuals working on \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d that feel as she does, but have to keep their beliefs and opinions quiet or risk losing their job. Carano explained that a friend of hers who works on production is facing a \u201csimilar situation,\u201d but did not go into detail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is afraid of losing their job,\u201d Carano said.<\/p>\n<p>Carano\u2019s termination made headlines, largely because she was apparently fired from \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d over Twitter comments that leaned conservative. But, she says, it was only after Lucasfilm commented on cutting her loose that she, herself, discovered she was cut from the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow I found out was that I looked on the internet, and you know, you check your Twitter and I\u2019m trending and the \u2018fire Gina Carano\u2019 hashtag worked,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Disney never contacted you and asked for some kind of back down, some sort of explanation?\u201d Shapiro asked. \u201cIt was just \u2018you\u2019re done\u2019 and you found out essentially the same way everybody else did?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carano nodded yes and added that she began to get the sense she was being targeted within the company for her views after she was mistakenly sent an email discussing her Twitter presence and pointing to the \u201cFire Gina Carano\u201d campaign among Twitter lefties.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI saw someone from the company accidentally send me a conversation, that they were tracking the \u2018Fire Gina Carano\u2019 hashtag on content that had nothing to do with me,\u201d she said. \u201cIt actually had zero to do with me, and all of a sudden, I get thrown into the mix\u2026They accidentally sent me an email, which was very enlightening, so I knew. I knew they were paying attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carano told Shapiro that she was also aware that there was conflict over her continued employment within \u201cThe Mandalorian\u2019s\u201d ranks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know there were some people who went to bat for me, but I know that they didn\u2019t win out at the end,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As for why she decided to stay in the public eye, Carano said she believe that someone needs to demonstrate how widespread \u2014 and how destructive \u2014 political bullying and cancel culture really is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was prepared at any point to be let go because I\u2019ve seen this happen to so many people,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen the looks on their faces. I\u2019ve seen the bullying that takes place, and so when this started, they point their guns at you, and you know it\u2019s only a matter of time. I\u2019ve seen it happen to so many people, and I just thought to myself \u2026\u2019you\u2019re coming for me, I know you are.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re making it very obvious through their employees who were coming for me, and so I was like \u2018I\u2019m going to go down swinging and I\u2019m going to stay true to myself,&#8217;\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The full interview is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mxObG659Sc0\">available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gina Carano | The Ben Shapiro Show Sunday Special Ep. 111\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mxObG659Sc0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
