I’ve not been a huge fan of Batwoman since the show premiered a few years back. While not a fan, I was quite open to the possibility of the show, however, casting changes and lackluster storytelling has lost any interest I had in the series. Speaking of casting, Ruby Rose initially announced that she was parting ways with Batwoman after its first season, both sides seemed to indicate the split was mutual. However, Rose has taken to Instagram to talk about the working conditions she claims she faced while working on the series.
Rose began her Instagram story posts by saying
“Enough is enough” when she called out showrunner Caroline Dries and Berlanti Productions’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. The actress went on to write, “I’m going to tell the whole world what really happened on that set. [Former Warner Bros. Television Group Chariman] Peter Roth, you are first up. You are chapter one. Not sure if you left after getting promoted to the highest position because you couldn’t stop making young women steam your pants, around your crotch while you were still wearing said paints or if you left after putting a private investigator on me who you fired as soon as the report didn’t fit your narrative. Either way, when it comes to you, there’s already an army waiting for u.”
“To Everyone who said I was too stiff on Batwoman, imagine going back to work 10 days after this…10 DAYS!!!!!! (or the whole crew and cast would be fired and I’d let everyone down because Peter Roth said he wouldn’t recast and I just lost the studio millions (by getting injured on his set) that is, be the one who cost so many people their jobs”
“So in closing, please to my dear, dear fans stop asking if I will return to that awful show, I wouldn’t return for any amount of money nor if a gun were to my head.. NOR DID I QUIT. I DO NOT QUIT, They ruined Kate Kane and they destroyed batwoman, not me. I followed orders, and if I wanted to stay i was going to have to sign my rights away[…] A crew member got 3rd degree burns over his whole body, and we were given no therapy after witnessing his skin fall off his face but I was the only one who sent him flowers and cards and then were told we had to do a sex scene without a minute to process, we lost 2 stunt doubles, i got cut in the face so close to my eye in a stunt I could have been blind. a woman was left quadriplegic and they tried to blame it on her being on her phone, so much so CW didn’t even help her to start with because they needed to ‘investigate’ so she had to do a go fund me… she’s a PA, they work via phones. Her accident occurred because our show refused to shut down when everyone else did because of Covid. [Caroline Dries] has no heart and wanted us to finish the season throughout the pandemic and I told her it was a bad idea… i told her everyone was too distracted, constantly checking Covid updates checking on friends and seeing riverdale, the flash and super girl shut down already, i felt something bad would happen and [Dries] maybe visited the set 4 times in a year… UNHEARD OF..”
Wow! well this is some breaking news that will sure have a lot of folks talking.
