Disney Settles Lawsuit With Gina Carano Over ‘Mandalorian’ Firing
Gina Carano
Strikes Settlement Deal With Disney …
Over ‘Mandalorian’ Firing
Published
Gina Carano has wrapped up her lawsuit against Disney for wrongful termination and sex discrimination after she was fired from “The Mandalorian” — we’ve learned she’s struck a settlement deal and moved on.
TMZ obtained court documents showing the parties agreed to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, and sources with direct knowledge tell us … Lucasfilm/The Walt Disney Company and Gina Carano reached a mutual agreement to put the legal dispute behind them.
A Lucasfilm spokesperson issued a statement … “Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect.”
The rep added, “With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”
You’ll remember, the actress — who got the boot from Disney back in 2021, right in the middle of COVID — filed suit against her former employer in 2024.
She alleged she was wrongfully terminated for sharing her political views on social media, something she claims didn’t happen to her male costars who posted similar content.
Specifically, Gina argued it was a message she reposted — drawing a parallel between the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust and the treatment of those voicing opinions on COVID and other conservative topics — that really set Disney off.
Gina insisted Disney didn’t let her go because of her performance, but because of her political views.
Anderson Silva

… He’s A ‘Real Fighter’

Even though he lost to Jake Paul in 2022, Anderson Silva has nothing but praise for the guy … telling TMZ Sports El Gallo deserves more credit for not only what he’s done for boxing — but for his fighting skills, too.
We caught up with Spider to talk all about his upcoming bout against Tyron Woodley on the Dec. 19 card in Miami … and the combat sports legend says his main goal is to prove his respect for the sport and his opponent.
Silva was originally slated to go up against Chris Weidman … but even with the switcharoo, he’s feeling good and confident leading up to fight night.
Of course, Spider AND Woodley have fought and lost to Paul … and he said he’s watched his opponent’s bouts against the internet superstar as part of his training.
As for working with Most Valuable Promotions again, Silva said the organization is doing an “amazing job” … especially with Paul “changing the game” for fighters and fans.
While folks will be tuning in to see two champs duke it out, all eyes will also be on Paul against Silva … and even though he didn’t give a prediction on the outcome, there was a ton of praise for the Problem Child.
Silva calls out “lazy people” who criticize Paul … ’cause they’re not putting in the same amount of work he is in his craft … they’re just talking.
“The people don’t give the credit to Jake, and the people need to do that. I respect Jake. He’s a real fighter.”

The singer-songwriter was spotted in her familiar gameday box alongside bestie Selena, both seen glued to the action as Killa Trav and the squad played in primetime on Sunday night.
Swift’s a regular feature at Chiefs games … while she wasn’t in Dallas for K.C.’s Thanksgiving match against the Cowboys, she was on the edge of her seat during the Chiefs nail-biter against the Indianapolis Colts … Selena on the other hand looking seemingly confused.

While Travis is focused on leading his team to the playoffs, fans of the couple are hanging on every rumor about the couple’s wedding … even one claiming the pair bought a wedding date from another pair of lovers.
Reports surfaced last week alleging Taylor and Travis are going to marry at Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island on June 13 next year after giving a couple money to get married a different day.
However, we spoke to Ocean House, and they called BS … saying the venue doesn’t allow couples to sell wedding dates, full stop.
One challenge at a time though … Texans game first — happily ever after later!
