She was fired because she decided that posting on social media was more important than her career.

Period, end of story.

I mean, most of us who aren't related to actors, directors, producers, composers, et al, have to scratch, fight and kick just to even get noticed, let alone, make it to the "Top of the Mountain" of the entertainment industry.

I've mentioned that I had an offer to score a series for Disney a few years back and holy shit, if Disney asked me to stop posting on social media or lose my job, I would cancel my social media accounts immediately, which is something that I did back in 2017 anyway, as I saw the corrosive effects on other people in the industry.

God Bless her and all but for the life of me, I just don't get it.

It’s called fighting for what you believe in and not caving to the mob. Something you wouldn’t know jack or shit about

Very blacklist-ish of them. Funny how they've become something they despised.

Perfect replacement, Frankie Adams. Bobbie from the Expanse.

Nah, it had nothing to do with the mob and everything to do with UTA's other clients who don't want to be associated her.

Disney+ broke more of their own records last year and as of December, had 95 million customers, a number that far exceeded the 60 million subs that were projected for 2023.

As I stated earlier, Disney wasn't going to die on that hill.

Does disney state how many are paying subs? Verizon gives disney plus for free or I would not be paying. Verizon has 120million. If half get disney plus for free that hurts as I doubt verizon pays the full amount.

As for Cara, it is a dumb move considering all the shit other actors, producers and directors have done and still employed.

Yeah but the difference is $50k a year (?) versus tens of millions of dollars for decades, let alone, a place in Star Wars history as a legend.

We all deal with a certain amount of horseshit in our jobs and I am certainly no exception. There have been times when I've wanted to quit a gig because the Music Supervisor or Director is a flaming asshat but it's a very small town and news travels fast, so I put my head down, shut my mouth and plow through it.

My worst day working in the entertainment business is a million times better than working in a warehouse or doing AP/AR for a small business in which the owner was a complete and utter cheating asshole (on his wife, too) or blech, selling guitars at the Hollywood Guitar Center.

She was on top of the world, man. A Star Wars series in which she was to be a central character?

Does it really get any better than that?



There are things that drive me crazy at times as well but it doesn't have anything to do with social media or American politics. Now, Entertainment Business Politics are a different subject altogether but I wouldn't quit or leave millions on the table for that, either.

You're right, this was an intergalactically stupid decision on her part. Before today, I thought the dumbest decision by an actor this millennia was Terrence Howard's decision to demand a raise from Marvel to appear in Iron Man 2, which is why he was replaced by Don Cheadle. Cheadle's not only appeared in nearly a dozen Marvel films as Rhodie, he's also getting his own Disney+ series.

But IMO, we have a new champion.

Yes, they only report “paying” subscriptions. The subscriptions given by their partners like Verizon aren’t counted in that tally.
