Star Wars vs Gina Carano & The Law | Disney Set to LOSE? | Legal Analysis w/ Ron Coleman 

Yes, Disney supports all women, unless it's women who don't give in to their DEI bullshit and toe the line. Props to Gina! She's missed in the Mandalorian.

I'm a left-wing liberal. The reason I stopped watching Mandalorian was because they fired Gina.

Discovery is all that matters here. Disney must get unmasked.

I ,hope Gina does not settle outa court. Imagine the media circus of an actual trial?

Disney has a lot more to lose when it comes to discovery. And Gina should expose them for all.

But, Disney didn't just fire Gina Carano, they celebrated it publically and ran her name into the ground, essentially making her unemployable in the entertainment industry.

Gina Carano didn’t deserve the shit she got from Disney. I hope she wins and sues them into oblivion.

What I'm waiting for is when Disney begs to settle rather than let the case go to discovery ... which would undoubtedly prove, in their own words, how much they hate their audience.

"The Disney Company has ended its relationship with Gina Carano, and we wish her luck in her future endeavors." That's all they had to say. They couldn't help themselves.

Disney WAS a creative company, now it is a mouthpiece for DEI

"is she your property?" That is a comfortable euphemism for slavery.

The actual large problem Disney has is the fact that they defamed her when they fired her, calling her "abhorrent" on their official company Twitter account. That is not allowed and Gina has every right to sue for defamation.

Disney is concerned about its audience?? Disney need to take themselves to court for the trauma they've been inflicting upon their audience over the past three or four years.

the thing is, Disney didn't fire her because they thought it would hurt their audience, they fired her because they thought it would hurt the audience they WANTED (as evidenced by the people they made The Acolyte for, since it's not made for the OG Star Wars fans)

I hope she takes them all the way through the cleaners. If she goes through court, it opens the door for plebs who have been fired in similar situations to have an open door in the courts.

Excellent discussion. Ron Coleman presents the key question that must be considered "Do you own her, by virtue of having a job in one of your 'comic book movies', is this woman now your property such that she can't express an opinion on any matter that you disagree with as long as she is employed by you"?

Don't think it was lost on me, that this trial hearing began the same week that, The Acolyte's "Destiny" episode aired on Disney +. Notice how virtually no establishment media outlets have mentioned that Leslye Headland's name was mentioned in Gina Carano's lawsuit as being one of her abusers (during her time employed at Disney/Lucasfilm Ltd.), and how that (most likely) has had an impact on the SW Fan base's reaction/reception to Leslye Headland's The Acolyte? Kids, if you don't know about the legal term, "Discovery"...well, you're gonna get a GREAT DEFINITION/DEPICTION of it in this case. WOAH, BABY!

She made it to discovery which is the most important part. She will now get to see Disney's internal communications. We're about to turn over this woke rock.

I’m here for the DISCOVERY. No wonder Disney wants to avoid that exposure.

Opinion: Disney is doing everything including looking under the couch cushions to come up with settlement money. Musk is thinking "money well spent."

Disney's trying to use the First Amendment as a defense for firing Carano would be very bad if it worked. The amendment is suppose to uphold freedom of expression, not stifle it.

So by Disney's point of view, can conservative minded companies fire employees based on public and/or online opinions about certain topics that they don't support or align with? Because I'm sure if that happened, a double standard would apply and there would be some sort of public or online outrage expressed, that Disney would no doubt openly support.....

If Disney is so concerned with an actor's beliefs,how come they have no problem employing a known racist like Amandla Stenberg???

Disney stock now under 100/ share...keep it up 😂😂😂

Disney stock now down below $100. Pletz is just laughing and Iger is crying while looking for a lifeline.

Disney has gotten used to playing fast and loose with the law for a long time. The chickens are coming home to roost.

Discovery is victory, bring it on.

Disney you had it coming, Gina we are with you!

Gina's gonna give Disney hell.

Disney: "We're a creative company!" Also Disney: "Our new character is a rock named Geode" not buying it. literally.

There should be total transparency, but because Disney is scared of the ramifications they DO NOT WANT IT.....

The problem is they were claiming that she was anti-semitic and they didn't want to be associated with that. She clearly was not. I don't understand why that isn't being argued. They are lying about why they got rid of her by pretending that she said THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE REALLY SAID. This seems very relevant.

In my opinion and just as a guess if this actually does make it to discovery disney will use this as a vehicle to either not renew or out right fire KK finally

While I don't necessarily agree with everything Ms. Carano has said, the appalling coordinated attack on her person is beyond the pale; don't want to work with someone anymore, fine, but don't attack them.

Why is K K still working in Disney did she not do damage to everything she mess with dose she have something on the board and iger to keep on doing damage to Star Wars and Disney I just want to know why is she still working there

My prediction is that the discovery is going to hurt Disney, or at the very least it is going to reveal a lot of cringe statements by Disney.

Disney dosn't need Gina or anyone else to help them put off their fans, they are accomplishing that just fine on their own.

Disney operates like an NGO, advocating certain viewpoints,. The company is so focused on its "messaging" and advocacy for certain causes that it has forgotten that it is a for-profit corporation. The money Disney lavishly wastes is the investors' money. Disney is not a good steward of its resources, much less making a profit for its owners. Past time to get rid of Iger, his top executives, and the Disney board.

There was no obligation for Disney to announce their feelings about Gina, and they could’ve simply not cast her. Instead, they went out of their way to make declarative statements about her character and actions which were demonstrably false and clearly designed to poison the waters for any future work. As an employer, they should know better than to directly interfere with future employability and the price should be high enough to discourage anyone from ever trying the same in three future. I am thinking 1B per month of unemployment, or Disney’s rights to Star Wars.

@Ron - She must have been considered an employee by Lucasfilm if they were trying to FORCE her into a 40+ person struggle session. Since an entire show was being designed around her, Faverau certainly thought she was going to be working with him on a Disney Star Wars show for many years. Just because there was no current contract, their behaviour shows they were treating her like an active employee.

DEIsney saying they're an entertainment company, they used to be, but they threw that away and became a propaganda platform

Gina needs an apology and reinstated to the Mandalorian series THIS will restore good faith in Disney. So they will never do it... Full throttle to the ground, wings fly off. "fudgeit, we are a missle" -Disney pilot.

I like the idea of the CA law protecting political opinion from employers. To me it's a free speech protection. When Ron presented the question, does the corporation own you because you are it's employee is the key issue. That makes not about Gina, but a constitutional argument protecting the citizenry. Corporations already believe they own their employees. This ruling can help ingrain the separation of the personal life, and speech, and when they are on the clock at work.

My hope is that all this will be revealed to the public and on display. Hopefully, this will be the final nail in the coffin. Disney has destroyed all of my favorite things between Marvel and Lucas Film. I hope that a hostile takeover is in their future.

Hot Update! Paper shreddin' and hard drive smashin' fiesta at LucasFilm! Started 10 minutes ago, BYOB.

All they have to do at the court is show Pedro WAS NOT fired for the exact same thing but he's on the left.

its funny how disney is against the naz- while acting like a naz- go gina

All this bullshit about Hedland and KK, wanting of female force and then they fire Carano. Third damn hypocrites I love Carano and her character. She’s awesome the Mandalorian she kicked ass. I hope she wins her lawsuit. Disney sucks.

Winning is not money. Winning is discovery and taking all that information to court. As they often say, the punishment is the process. Its time to process Disney to within an inch of its figurative life.

Gina is the epitome of what woke Disney is supposed to love, a strong woman.

"the force is female but only if we like you"

We all know what Amandla Stenberg said in a TV Show about a certain pale dwmographic and that her goal was to make them cry... If she can starr 2 roles in M.r Weinsteins former secretarys TV show, Disney have a bit explaining to do regarding Gina.

Hail Gina for the WIN! 👏💯🏆 ✨️

I would argue that investors are supposed to have legal protection from the Company's political views causing widespread financial losses. Simply because the company is choosing to inject those views into high profile shows that never had those views. As well as the fact the Company has a fiduciary duty that is legally binding to look out for investors interest over their political interests. Yet their focus here is an Actor using their 1st amendment right outside of the the "high profile show." You can also show that her firing lead to further financial damages to investors. So really when Disney is arguing this they are also admitting they violated their fiduciary duty. Just as we see official interviews with people Disney casts in other shows speaking volumes of vile hateful attacks against the fanbase and causing even more financial damage to investors... yet Disney takes no action there because it is a mirror of the same political beliefs they are pushing. At the end of the day Disney is in the wrong PERIOD because they have violated fiduciary duty and really what should be happening is an investor lawsuit. So when I hear "it's their company"... well no it's not. They are losing others peoples money. If they want to prop up whatever political view and take the losses... you do that as a Private Company with zero fiduciary duty. PERIOD.

Regarding the "But if she said this..." hypothetical, why not turn it around? What if Disney fired someone for posting an Instragram image of their pancake breakfast because Disney wants their audience to like waffles? This is exactly why most common people are skeptical of the "corporate persons" legal argument. Too often it amounts to corporations asserting greater legal rights than the people. I can respect that a business needs some protections to conduct themselves as they see fit, but if they cannot show how the conduct at issue is RELEVANT to the business, then they have no grounds to interfere with the rights of the individual.

Get them, Gina, go get them!

im for gina but how the world is nowadays its not a slam dunk . the world needs to come back to normal where people can have their own beliefs

This is a Slam Dunk for Gina 🙏🏻🙏🏻 she won’t settle and bring the house of woke DOWN!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Discovery is going to show animus on Disney's part. They are doomed after that. The fact that they attacked Gina after being fired is separately actionable.

Wouldn’t have this been a great character to have given a feminine series 2 if she was so well liked like her female coaster which was far more liked than her. Remember she was supposed to be the fat old guy in this case girl maybe is that could’ve been a good female lead, for a new TV series for Star Wars, but they gave us some other feminine shit

It isn’t even that they fired her. It was all the struggle session shit and then the public character assassination after they let her go. If they were so concerned about the social media profile of their employees, then they should’ve put that in their contracts. [not to mention the double standard]

Disney double standard vs a California law meant to protect commies. Gotta love the irony. 😂

Gotta love when Lameafornia law comes back to bite them

My two favorite attorneys, Ron Coleman and Andrew Esquire. They both know how to explain the law in a way that the average person can understand.

I hope Carano is being funded by a secret billionaire, so she can afford the best legal team, and keep this running.

I spent $100 for my Cara Dune figure.

Hail @ValliantRenegade! Nice to see you in ComixDivision's and Clobberin'Time(s) chats this week!

Excellent! Than you Val for the update.

I support Gina Carano

Hope she makes the right decision for her, but sure wouldn’t mind if it means dragging Disney through a trial.

The fact that the others didn't face the same push back from Disney is telling! Gina is allowed to have an opinion, she was not pushing any political view, but Pascal and Hamill definitely were out to belittle any fan who voted differently than they did.

nothing would make me happier than to see Disney go under.

Whatever happened to having Legal Mindset on any of these channels. I have not seen him here with you guys in ages.

Q for Ron. What happens if Disney refuses to provide any material for Discovery? What if they provide only partial material and withhold other material during Discovery?

Get all KK emails and headlands emails

Comment for the algorithm 😁👍

Good stuff Valiant. Thanks for breaking it down for the lay person Pushback in the culture wars is a multi front proposition Stay vigilant!

I would normally say that Carrano doesn't have a chance, but the justice system is so crooked, who knows?

LOL - imagine that Gina Carano had said things that were supportive of certain groups in 1930s Germany ... THE SAME GROUPS THAT WALT DISNEY COMPLETELY SUPPORTED !!! LOL doesn't do justice to this ridiculousness

Good that Valliant lets Ron finish his points without excessive interruptions. That's an advantage of a one-to-one conversation. Some other channels invite a legal expert on and then ruin it by repeatedly barging in before the full explanation is given to the audience.

Go Gina Go!!! Funnily enough, the undeniable is undeniable- who'd have thunk it🤣 Disney can gent bent, going by where they take their shows- I'm sure it's a familiar position Petrocceli: "The Messenger is Part of the Message"- OOOF, that statement gonna backfire on Disney- all they do is message!

Take them to the mat Gina!

Ever see the film Margin Call? Here is what I think will happen... Someone will be blamed but it won't be KK. She'll have a sacrifice ready to be served up and instead, she'll go quiet and let Filoni be the face of Disney for awhile. Iger will not fire her because... at this point he simply can't from what we have seen. Iger will shmooze the investors and continue to ignore the audience while taking his pay check while the parks are stripped of their iconic rides... Simply put... the only way Disney will ever change course is legally, or by a takeover. the only time I see anyone stepping down is to take legal avoiding action. Disney is the Iger Kingdom and the sooner it's out of money the better for cultures around the world having to put up with a company of activists.

The fans, like me, who is a big time Star Wars fan and probably know more about Star Wars than all the RU-vidrs hating on everything for attention capital views and culture war agendas, anyway I love Gina, she is a fine specimen of a woman, and I want her in The Mandalorian. I don't care about anybodies personal life or personal opinions. And I also don't hate anything, I love Star Wars.

10:46 Disney goes... *_Florida_* _Breakin' rocks in the hot sun_ _I fought the law and'a the law won_ _I fought the law and'a the law won_ *_California_* _I needed morals 'cause I had none_ _I fought the law and'a the law won_ _I fought the law and'a the law won_

I think Disney had every right to get rid of her for her political statements. I also think they have every right to continue to run their business into the ground. This is a bunch of elite assholes fighting over opinions. Rather than settle this shit in the courts, we should settle it via public opinion. When Gina was fired if people supported her they should have immediately stopped watching disney. The stuff always takes time, but it looks like it's actually happening. As for the judge, I know nothing about her but listening off the places she's worked and the people she's worked for to me doesn't tell you meme a whole lot about her thought processes. As we all know, it's who you know that matters and not what you know in that profession and in many professions. So she may be brilliant or she may just be well connected.

Walt Disney Co is a public company...She's got a case.

I knew there was no logical reason for this case to be dismissed as soon as i saw disneys arguements i reposnse. Short version Gina's claim - i was fired for political views and treated different from my fellow actors behaving in the same way Disney's defense - we fired her because we have a right not to be assoicated with her politcal views At this point there is a clear case and arguement between a companies 1st amendment right to disaccoiate and labour law protections. Ron covered the details of how this judge feels very well but there was 1 other aspect the judge may have been offended by, the labour protection laws were to stop things like blacklists which hollywood and others were controlling at the time. So this is also a company saying you state law is meaningless to us as we always have this trump card we can play which if allowed to have dissmissed a case outright would have caused hollywoods behavior to change drastically. From what i have heard judges don't like when lawyers and/or cases take a stomp all over your laws/yard approach. Disney is now going to fight tooth and nail to keep as much of that discovery out of the public eye and it sounds like the judge will not just let disney pick and chose what avoids the public eye. Also very thankful for Ron's breakdown of how the judge had gotten to that position it is very reassureing that although diversity would not have hurt her she has had a very merit based progression to get there....that is so good to know i have seen plenty of judges in various trails now and without a foubt thebones who got there on the merits have definatly seemed to handle the court rooms best and more often than not even if there has been disagremeent with the lawtuber covering it i have watched then they can usually understand how thebjudge got there even if they do not agree. I have 3 main hopes I hope the case s televised live I hope the discovery allows some juicy stuff to come out I hope that disney gets iger on the stand and gina's lawyers ask him is it ok to call your customers (all the bad things in pedros posts) because iger either has to say no in which case why was pedro not fired or yes it is and take a public stand which will get out to everyone. He will obviously try and weasle out of it but i suspect it will be a defining question like when amber heard said she used pledge and donate synmoslly and that does not go well.

🇺🇸 GO GINA GO! 🇺🇸

The decision WAS earth shattering to Gina and the show itself.

Disney, in the past several years, has only been successful at fucking everything up. Its impressive... Most impressive.

This is so hypocritical of Disney as they have hired many people with views and messages, that are dominating the Disney storylines, that are driving away large percentages of their customers. It’s all about them being intolerant of views other than their own narrow views.

No, Great job and good luck 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

Wouldn’t have this been a great character to have given a feminine series 2 if she was so well liked like her female coaster which was far more liked than her. Remember she was supposed to be the fat old guy in this case girl maybe is that could’ve been a good female lead, for a new TV series for Star Wars, but they gave us some other feminine shit

We’ll see if they bring back mark hamill with him openly insulting people on twitter, if they’re being consistent he should be banned from Disney for the future bc of his online combatative online behavior

I just read her tweet, if you don’t understand what’s she’s saying, your proving her point, because your blinded by what your supposed to hate.

If I recall Disney's viewership and I think stock price dropped off significantly immediately after Gina was fired

This is a perfect example of when you hire a warrior to play a warrior it doesn't end when the camera stops rolling. Gina to me is living up to what we expected in her fighting career, and what we expect Kara to be doing, as in not giving up and taking the battle to the enemy and hitting them head on.

I hope Gina has the same angel of a lawyer that Johnny Depp had.
