"Mandalorian" star Gina Carano was kicked out by the production company Lucasfilm. Now the actress is making allegations of bullying.
For Gina Carano (38, "Daughter of the Wolf") the series "The Mandalorian" produced by Lucasfilm doesn't go any further. Her role as bounty hunter Cara Dune was dropped from the script after two seasons – and controversial social media posts. Now the actress commented on the incidents for the first time in front of the camera. In an interview with Ben Shapiro (37), the quit speaks of bullying.
According to her own statements, the 38-year-old has "been through so much". And she is "not the only one who has ever been bullied by this company". It is possible for Carano to make one or the other story public "that would turn things around in the media". However, since she does not want to expose her former colleagues and "friends", she will remain silent. "Everyone is afraid of losing their job", quoted the US industry portal "Deadline" from the recorded TV interview in advance.
Actress felt counted
Carano reports about her experiences on the set: "You were everywhere and watched me like a hawk." Therefore, she was already prepared to be released. "Because I've seen this happen to so many others. I've seen the looks on their faces. I've seen the bullying that is going on. And when it started, they turned their guns on me and I knew it is only a matter of time. "
What led to the actress being kicked out of "Mandalorian"? Among other things, Carano compared the current political climate in the United States with the Nazi era in a TikTok video. Lucasfilm publicly distanced itself from the actress, calling her views "hideous".
