Gina Carano has been making headlines over the last couple of years but I think we can all agree that 2021 was definitely the year she created the most buzz. Last February, the former star of The Mandalorian got ousted from the Star Wars franchise by Disney following her controversial social media behavior and since then, the Cara Dune actress has constantly been a hot topic on social media.
This is why it no longer comes as a surprise that Carano was among the "top trending" celebrities on Google for 2021 (via Just Jared) and where she ranks on the list probably won't be shocking to most of you as well. The ex-mixed martial arts fighter ranked #4 on the search engine's list thanks to her newsmaking issues and instead of being pressed, she seems quite pleased about it, all things considered.
Taking to her Twitter page, the ever-so-controversial Carano reacted to her placement on the list by tweeting out a pair of emojis — a laughing and hair-flipping emoji which almost feels like she's taking a massive jab at her critics. Check out her response here:

The controversy surrounding Carano's not-so-shocking firing didn't seem to faze the actress and if anything, it made her even more vocal about her socio-political issues, something that has been rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. As it stands, we still don't know what Lucasfilm will do with the Cara Dune character in Season 3 of The Mandalorian but one thing's for sure, Carano is no longer part of the equation.
Meanwhile, The Mandalorian Season 3 is currently in production.
