According to the actress, the whole situation was very unpleasant, but she did not surprise her, since she had already seen examples of harassment within the company before:
I’m not the only one that this company has bullied, which I am well aware of.
I have a story that can change the attitude of the media, but I cannot tell it because I do not want to betray a friend … Everyone is afraid of losing their job.

Carano sensed in advance that Disney and Lucasfilm were going to make a decision not in her favor. So, a couple of weeks before the dismissal, the second company asked one of the artists to remove her heroine, Karoo Dune, from the image and replace her with another character, which was publicly reported on Twitter.
The actress confirmed past information that she found out about her dismissal through social media when her name hit Twitter trending with the hashtag “Release JinuCarano.”
Carano later received an email from a Disney employee that came to her by mistake. After she read it, “a lot became clear.” At the same time, the actress had allies inside the studio.
I know that some fought for me, and in the end they did not manage to win.
Gina Carano
Carano believes that there is now a practice of double standards in the industry, which depends on politics. According to her, in the process of filming her actions and words were actively followed, while people of other views were not limited in any way.
But Carano was not going to adapt to the narrative, abandon her comments and limit her statements on social networks. She was always willing to let go of the Disney situation because she saw what happens to other people in similar cases.
But the actress did not intend to put up with this either.
I’d rather lose by fighting, staying true to my principles.
Gina Carano
Carano was saddened by the news of the dismissal, but much worse was the realization that the same happens to other people who cannot stand up for themselves the way she does.
According to the actress, this is simply “wrong”, and if she had agreed to concessions, she would have been led by firms that are used to lying.
I’m not going to give up without a fight.
