Both Pedro and Gunn are cash cows, Gina , not so much. Not to mention the attacks she has been getting on social media for not conforming to the group think the past couple of years. It was just too much for Disney , and they axed her the first chance they got, pure and simple.
Well, Hollywood enabled Weinstein for a quarter century, so no surprise for Gunn.

Exactly. And that is all many of us here are saying. The hypocrisy being shown here is blatant.

If she was a Dem like Robert Byrd, an actually KKK recruiter she would be rewarded with a US Senate seat

Gina Carano Announces New Film Project: ‘They Can’t Cancel Us If We Don’t Let Them’

Less than 24 hours after her explosive ouster from Star Wars series The Mandalorian for incendiary social media posts, Gina Carano has hit back at her detractors and revealed a new movie project she is making with conservative website The Daily Wire.

Carano told us today: “The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered. I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.â€

Ben Shapiro grew up in Hollywood and has a lot of connections in the industry, even if most aren't willing to publicly acknowledge their association with him. Other members of the Daily Wire crew have Hollywood connections too like Jeremy Boreing, and of course Andrew Klavan who was a prolific writer in Hollywood until he discovered he's actually a conservative (and so did they).

Youre right she isnt being PROSECUTED she is however definintely being persecuted.

The definition of persecution is hostility or ill treatment, especially because of race or politics or religious beliefs.

yep sounds about right to me

Maybe because she, like most sane people, think it's bad for society for each side to exist only in its own little silo without ever interacting with the other side?

Unfortunately, one side is increasingly giving us no choice. And if this doesn't stop, it won't end well for this country.

Since when is Disney a good guy?

I guess the Left forgave Disney for it's White washed, racist, and anti-Semitic History?

Was all that Star Wars drama over Disney trying to buy their way into the SJW graces?
Maybe the Mouse isn't as omnipotent as they think.
