because Musk:

A couple months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech, he would like to offer these people legal representation. Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still, I did respond back “I think I qualify” & thousands of people agreed--but I did not expect anything.

To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others. Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers & X believe whole-heartedly in my case & are moving forward.

No doubt, suing the Cabal is not something that's easy for your average Jane. She's only doing it now, I would suggest, because of support from the world's greatest troll meister.

Timing

Filing a lawsuit is not an easy task, especially when lawyers are being targeted for lawfare if they support anything other than a groupthink cause.

From the complaint:

"Carano has requested and received a Notice of Right to Sue from the California Civil Rights Department and has otherwise exhausted her administrative remedies and complied with all necessary conditions precedent to filing this suit. A true and correct copy of the Notice of Right to Sue is attached as Exhibit A."
