Fired by woke? You may be entitled to compensation.

Who's Gina Carano?
A MAGA actor butthurt that free speech doesn't mean free from real-world consequences. Disney fired her over some sketchy tweets.
To add to what herrcaptain said, her saying that being a Republican in Hollywood was like being a Jew during the Holocost seemed to have been the breaking point.
Before that she also made a lot of tweets making fun of pronouns and such too, but nothing overtly hateful, so she had managed to skate by until she upped the stupidity.
She's some unknown actress who worked for Disney until she started spewing republican anti-Jewish hatred on Twitter.
The Elon Musketeer has offered to pay all lawyer bill for anyone getting fired for posting "fREE sPeECh" on X, and he publicly stated that he was honoured to pay the bills for this desperate woman.
It wasn't Republican anti-Jewish hatred. She was comparing being a Republican to being a Jew in Nazi Germany.
Disney fired her after a long, long string of tweets espousing views they didn't like. Gina is anti-mask, she expressed great disappointment at Biden winning election & urged that voter fraud laws/measures be put in place, she made fun of adding pronouns to Twitter profiles.
Disney warned her multiple times to tone things down, and after the Republican-Jew comparison, Disney fired her.
One could argue that comparing being MAGA to being a jew in the holocaust is anti-jew. But either way, her employer didn't like her public shitposting and she lost her job, that's how it works.
One could argue almost anything.
The "all birds are actually government drones" thing comes to mind...
But hasn’t Elon fired his own employees for tweets he didn’t like? Generally anything critical of him?
Hmm Disney has deep pockets too... Would be a shame for all those people to sue Twitter...
Carano is claiming wrongful discharge and sexual discrimination, seeking $75,000 in damages and a court order that would reinstate her on the hit series.
Oh buddy. Too broke to afford lawyers, only asking for $75k. I guess she took too many hits to the head during her fights, everyone knows you shoot high and let the judge adjust down if you win. Know your own value I guess, and Gina is signaling that she’s not worth much
The suit details that Carano was required by Disney to meet with a representative from the LGBTQ+ group Glaad after online behaviour that was seen as anti-trans, yet she refused. She was then asked to meet with a group of LGBTQ+ Disney employees but again refused and was fired soon after.
She got offered an easy out after posting her screed, and refused to even sit and talk with Glaad rep. Because she would have to listen and couldn’t argue or shout them down, and that’s political persecution
Her acting is okay, her social media presence is super toxic and puts the show into the headlines for reasons unrelated to the show. Disney have a pretty solid case for dismissal here, when will these dumbfucks realize that it’s not a liberal v conservative issue - it’s genuinely just your hate speech
They wont and they will open up the gas chambers if we let them.
That headline alone..
Bro we could make some money.
I think they made some wild statements when they fired her instead of the usual "After careful consideration..." HR text that everyone gives when letting people go. Given Elon has some deep pockets and doesn't shy away from burning money for dumb spite projects, they may have a shot of getting somewhere with Disney.
I think Elon just wants Gina’s gina.
