Bill Burr had some great things to say about Gina, and apparently that irritated a lot of people.
There have been plenty of reactions to Gina Carano being fired from The Mandalorian by Lucasfilm. While there are many who stand by Lucasfilm’s decision and were even behind the movement to get her fired, a number of fans seem to stand with Carano, and she has even gained a good amount of followers since the debacle. The MMA fighter-turned-actress’ Mandalorian co-stars have been relatively quiet on the subject of her termination. But now, it would seem that Bill Burr, who plays Migs Mayfield on the Disney+ series, has now spoken out and shared some very blunt (and admittedly on-brand) thoughts on the situation.
The topic of Gina Carano’s firing came up in an episode of Bill Burr and Bert Kreischer’s podcast, The Bill and Bert Podcast. Burr is a comedian known for his blunt and somewhat controversial thoughts. So it makes sense that Carano’s firing could make him a little uncomfortable with his own future on The Mandalorian. During the episode, Burr says he now feels that he may have to watch what he says moving forward. Here it is in the comedian’s own words:
“I don’t know. I think there is just too many channels. And then you gotta do sensational shit…I don’t know what the fuck it is. I mean I’m on that fucking show. Now, I gotta watch what the fuck I say.”
