AceShowbiz - Gina Carano opened up about how Pedro Pascal, her former co-star on Disney+'s series "The Mandalorian", reacted after she landed in hot water for mocking the pronouns use online. In a new interview, Gina shared that the actor gave her advice to appease fans.
In a The Hollywood Reporter interview, which was published on Thursday, March 14, Gina revealed that Pedro told her to "just put #transrights in your feed." She added that "The Last of Us" star, who has a trans sister, also told her, "Do it and they'll leave you alone."
Gina, however, chose not to take his advice "because that's not my style, to put hashtag anything. I'm also not going to put #TrumpsRights." The former mixed martial artist continued, "He knows 1,000 percent I'm not homophobic or transphobic. He texted me after Carl Weathers passed away. We had our conversation, and it was beautiful."
The Cara Dune depicter added, "One thing he did say was, 'Thank you. You and Carl Weathers have always been protectors.' And he knows what that means, and I know what that means, and I wish I could tell why. We basically left it at 'I can't wait to give you a big hug.' "
Gina received huge backlash after she put "boop/bop/beep" in her Twitter bio after fans asked her to show support for the transgender community. She, however, insisted she wasn't trying to insult the transgender community, saying, "I thought it was cute, like R2-D2."
Not stopping there, the actress was also criticized for her comments on coronavirus, election fraud and other political comments. She later caught flak after likening the experience of Jewish people during the Holocaust to the U.S. political divide.
"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views," the post read.
Gina was eventually fired from "The Mandalorian" over the post. Last month, with the help of Elon Musk, she sued The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm for "millions in lost income," accusing the company for alleged wrongful termination and "discriminatory treatment" due to her political views.
