    X Corp. said it funded the suit as part of its “commitment to free speech.” “The online platform is proud to provide financial support for Carano’s lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination,” a statement from the social media platform continued.

    in response to X’s support, Carano stated: “I am honored that my case has been chosen to be supported by the company that has been one of the last glimmers of hope for free speech in the world.”

      In the press release, it clearly says the case is defamation. She used her free speech and they defamed her. Her termination is illegal under Section 1102 of the Labor Code.

      No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

        they defamed her.

        Where?

        Her termination is illegal under Section 1102 of the Labor Code.

        So in other words, it’s about her getting fired like ImplyingImplications said.

        Regardless, thanks to the erosion of labor laws in this country that conservatives are largely responsible for, said labor code might not mean much. California is an at will state. All Disney has to do is say they fired her for other reasons.
