Dana White weighs in on Gina Carano controversy: ‘Leave Gina alone’

Dana White is sticking up for Gina Carano.

The former MMA star turned actress made headlines this week when she was fired from Disney’s The Mandalorian as well as by Lucasfilm, the studio that produces the popular Star Wars spinoff. Carano’s axing came in the wake of the 38-year-old receiving public criticism for a series of Instagram story posts that included shots at mask-wearing as a COVID-19 safety precaution and anti-conservative sentiment.

Carano seemingly addressed the latter issue with a post that compared what she perceived to be the plight of persecuted conservatives with the vilification of Jews during the era of the Holocaust.
