Filing a nuisance suit against her former employer is a great way to boost her career, and teaming up with a scumbag like Musk helps clarify her ethics for anyone who’s unfamiliar with who she is. Outstanding move, Gina!

She no longer has a career with mainstream studios.

Fascist bullshit is her career now. I assume she has another wackadoodle movie coming out soon. Or maybe she's the next mother of Elon's soon to be estranged children.

Aka the Sorbo Guide to the Entertainment Industry.

On the subject of Sorbo, apparently he had two small strokes during his time on Hercules and that's part of why he went off the rails so damn abruptly.

In other words they're following a playbook written by the brain-damaged, literally. By all means, go on.

Two strokes and a man in the 90s being upstaged by a spin-off of his show starring a woman in an action role with intense queer implications.

Well, she voluntarily took multiple blows to the head as a MMA fighter...

As much as I agree with you logically, and also disagree with what she did, we shouldn't encourage people to avoid lawsuits to address injustice they perceived. That's how we ended up with #metoo. So many on the entertainment industry not rocking the boat as it could damage their career. Some were blacklisted for speaking out, so it was a real fear.

If it was a real injustice the same logic would apply and we should take that into consideration when we consider damages for real injustices.

I agree completely. I had the same concern as I was writing my comment, which is why I was careful to specify that it’s a nuisance suit. (Side note: autocorrect saved my butt. I can never remember how to spell “nuisance”.)
