Gina Carano says Pedro Pascal tried to help her not get fired from The Mandalorian

Gina Carano wants to be the victim so, so bad.

The disgraced star of The Mandalorian, who was fired from the Disney+ show after sharing hateful social media posts, opened up during an expansive interview with The Hollywood Reporter about her spiral downward and what led to her firing.

Carano had made several controversial posts on social media in the buildup to her firing. But according to her, it seems as though the straw that broke the camel’s back was when she added “boop/bop/beep” in her Twitter (now X) bio while others included their pronouns on social media bios in solidarity with trans people. Carano defended her actions and said she wasn’t trying to mock the trans community.

“I’ve had male publicists with the same size feet as me and we run around in my shoes and try on my dresses,” she said, moving the subject away from trans people. “I was just fed up. So I was like, ‘Fine, I’ll put something in my bio: ‘boop/bop/beep.’ I thought it was cute, like R2-D2.”

After the pronouns controversy, Carano claims that she was put through a “reeducation camp,” which she described as a “lovely conversation” that took place through Zoom meetings. However, the term “reeducation camp” is historically linked to literal prison camps where political dissidents are locked up and forced into hard labor, indoctrination, and often torture. These “camps” have been used in countries like North Korea and China over the years, as reported by The Diplomat.

Carano’s “reeducation camp” included a Zoom meeting with two trans representatives from GLAAD and visits from a media coach.

Most surprising is Carano’s admission that she could have easily prevented all of this if she just listened to her former Mandalorian co-star, Pedro Pascal, who suggested that she could do something simple and easy to show her support for trans people.

Carano claimed that, prior to her pronoun incident, Pascal, who has a transgender sister, had explained things about trans people to Carano and gave her advice.

“He was telling me, ‘Just put #transrights in your feed. Do it and they’ll leave you alone,’” she claims. Nonetheless, she didn’t follow his advice “because that’s not my style, to put hashtag anything. I’m also not going to put #TrumpsRights.”

Carano is currently suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination in a lawsuit that is being funded by Elon Musk.
