      A MAGA actor butthurt that free speech doesn’t mean free from real-world consequences. Disney fired her over some sketchy tweets.

      To add to what herrcaptain said, her saying that being a Republican in Hollywood was like being a Jew during the Holocost seemed to have been the breaking point.

      Before that she also made a lot of tweets making fun of pronouns and such too, but nothing overtly hateful, so she had managed to skate by until she upped the stupidity.

      She’s some unknown actress who worked for Disney until she started spewing republican anti-Jewish hatred on Twitter.

      The Elon Musketeer has offered to pay all lawyer bill for anyone getting fired for posting “fREE sPeECh” on X, and he publicly stated that he was honoured to pay the bills for this desperate woman.

        It wasn’t Republican anti-Jewish hatred. She was comparing being a Republican to being a Jew in Nazi Germany.

        Disney fired her after a long, long string of tweets espousing views they didn’t like. Gina is anti-mask, she expressed great disappointment at Biden winning election & urged that voter fraud laws/measures be put in place, she made fun of adding pronouns to Twitter profiles.

        Disney warned her multiple times to tone things down, and after the Republican-Jew comparison, Disney fired her.

          One could argue that comparing being MAGA to being a jew in the holocaust is anti-jew. But either way, her employer didn’t like her public shitposting and she lost her job, that’s how it works.

          Hmm Disney has deep pockets too… Would be a shame for all those people to sue Twitter…

      She was an actress on the Mandalorian(?)

      She got fired for a tweet that was very hyperbolic and in bad taste.

      The suit is basically for unfair firing and defamation.
