Disney’s Motion to Dismiss the Gina Carano Lawsuit Has Been…
DENIED!!!
Unless she settles, this case goes to discovery.
Now, I’ve got to clean the drool off my keyboard.
“In court documents obtained by That Park Place, U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett has denied the request by the Walt Disney Company to dismiss Gina Carano’s lawsuit. with Gina Carano and her lawyers against The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm’s attempt to dismiss her case.
According to Judge Garnett “[Disney, Lucasfilm, and Huckleberry] have failed to set forth an “impenetrable defense” under the First Amendment… the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion
Carano filed her lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company back in February with suit detailing it is “a civil action arising from Defendants wrongful termination of Carano’s employment in retaliation for Carano’s lawful exercise of her right to speak and express her views. Specifically, Defendants—under the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek—fired Carano because of her posts (‘the Posts’) on various social media platforms including X (formerly known as Twitter). Carano composed and published the Posts while she was off-duty and away from the workplace.”
Read the rest there, they do good work.
This didn’t do a lot for Disney’s stock price.
