She continued to post inflammatory comments after the election but this time, Dave Filoni contacted her and asked her to refrain and again, she refused. Finally, Jon Favreau contacted her and asked her to refrain and again, she refused.
Disney felt they had no choice but to fire her, as did her talent agency.
Disney isn't going to "die on the hill" of a D-list actress. All she had to do to keep her job was to refrain from posting on social media and all would have been fine.

If that's accurate, they had no choice. Which, given what we know, there's no reason to disbelieve anything here.
That's wild she'd set fire to her career like that. I guess the other side is she had the stones to stand up for what she believes. Just not the course I'd have chosen.
Thanks for posting.
EDIT: Disney gave her far more rope than Buehler445 would have.
