Disney CEO, asked about Carano firing, says company stands for 'values that are universal'

Bob Chapek, the CEO of Disney, defended the company’s decision to terminate former Mandalorian star Gina Carano’s contract over her social media posts.

Disney stands “for values that are universal,” Chapek said during a company shareholder meeting Tuesday when he was asked about Carano's firing. The company distanced itself from the former mixed martial arts fighter–turned–Disney star who played the role of bounty hunter Cara Dune on the first two seasons of the show after she posted a photo likening the political divide to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.
