Star Wars: The Bad Batch voice actor Freddie Prinze Jr. appeared to admit to participating in an online cancel culture mob following Disney and Lucasfilm firing Gina Carano back in February.
If you recall, a Disney and Lucasfilm spokesperson fired Carano through a two sentence statement.
The statement began, “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future.”
The spokesman then added, “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

The social media post in question was an Instagram Stories post that appeared to be a repost from warriorpriestgympodcast.
The post showed an image of youths chasing a woman in undress with a warning about hating your neighbors can lead to such senseless violence. You can see it below.

Following this statement from the Disney and Lucasfilm spokesman, Prinze Jr. shared a gif to his Twitter from Jem and the Holograms where one of the characters slaps the other with text reading, “Girl Bye.”
