"When I posted that, it wasn't something that I felt like was controversial. It was something that I thought, well, maybe all of us need to ask ourselves how that happened," she added.
Carano, who played Cara Dune on the show, also said she had been tipped off that Disney wasn't pleased about the post. She said studio officials had accidentally sent her an email indicating that they were following the #FireGinaCarano movement online.
"They accidentally sent me an email, which was very enlightening, so I knew," she said. "I knew they were paying attention. I know there were some people who went to bat for me, but I know that they didn't win out at the end."
She added: "They've been all over me, and they've been watching me like a hawk. And I'm watching other people on the same production, and they can say everything they want, and that's where I had a problem. I had a problem because I wasn't going along with the narrative."
Disney did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Carano also said that she found out about her firing through social media.
