Disney is saying it far more eloquently than that. From Disney’s motion to dismiss:

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution generally forbids the government from dictating to artistic creators how they may develop and express their own artistic messages. This principle applies fully to enterprises that employ others to perform artistic messages through song, dance, or acting: for such artistic expressions, the performer is the performance, no less than the words written on the script or lyric sheet. For this reason, just as a newspaper is entitled to broad deference in choosing which writers to employ to express its editorial positions, a creative production enterprise is entitled to broad deference in deciding which performers to employ to express its artistic messages.

Defendants The Walt Disney Company and its affiliates Lucasfilm and Huckleberry (collectively “Disney”) are enterprises that produce and disseminate artistic performances through film, television, and digital media. One of those productions is The Mandalorian, a television show set in the Star Wars universe. Disney engaged plaintiff Gina Carano (“Carano”) as a guest actor in various episodes of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian. She played bounty hunter Cara Dune, a character who became popular with fans during Carano’s time on the show.

As Carano’s own fame rose with her character’s, Carano began engaging with show fans and the public in a manner that, in Disney’s view, came to distract from and undermine Disney’s own expressive efforts. As her complaint alleges, Carano made public declarations blaming pandemic-related closure orders and vaccine mandates for causing widespread suicides and murders, attacking the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election, and mocking people who identify their pronouns to show support for transgender rights. The coup de grace came in February 2021, when Carano admittedly reposted on Instagram a post comparing criticism of politically conservative viewpoints to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. As Carano told the world: “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?’” ECF No. 1 (Compl.) ¶ 102.

Carano’s decision to publicly trivialize the Holocaust by comparing criticism of political conservatives to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people—notably, not “thousands”—was the final straw for Disney. As Carano alleges, Lucasfilm that same day denounced her statements and observed that it had “no plans” to employ her in the future. Compl. ¶ 31. Disney’s then-CEO also observed that Carano’s statements “didn’t align with Company values,” including its “values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion.” Id. ¶ 34. She alleges that given her public statements, Disney chose not to include her Cara Dune character in season three of The Mandalorian and other potential Star Wars storylines. Id. ¶ 39.

Sorry, yes, I meant the county courthouse, not the city courthouse.

For those who don’t get the joke: Inside the hard cover of the disk is a mostly-opaque flexible plastic disk. It’s just transparent enough to see the sun through. Back in the day, you could break the hard plastic off the disk and use the floppy plastic disk inside to view the sun. It’s definitely not the safest of methods.
