Ruby Rose has slammed the CW, Warner Bros. TV, Berlanti Productions and top executives on Batwoman in a blistering tirade, alleging toxic behavior on the set that drove her from the show

It was shocking to fans when Rose, leaving her title role as Kate Kane/Batwoman. At the time, there were rumblings that Rose was not happy on the show, but she left with little clarity on her exact reasons for leaving. In her statement at the time, Rose said that “this was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.

Rose, who had had surgery for a stunt injury she had suffered, included footage of her surgery in her post, saying she was forced to return to work by former head of Warner Bros. TV Peter Roth. She alleged Roth threatened her into returning by claiming she would cost the production “millions” and that “the whole crew and cast would be fired.” She also accused Roth of inappropriate behavior toward woman on the set, and alleges he had Rose investigated by a PI after she left the series.

Rose also detailed what she described as unsafe working conditions on-set, including serious injuries to acrew member who received “third degree burns over his whole body” during production. She also blamed the work conditions for causing serious injuries to other crew members, and slammed the show for “ruin[ing] Kate Kane.”

She concluded by asking fans to stop asking if she would ever return to the show. “I wouldn’t return for any amount of money nor if a gun were to my head. NOR DID I QUIT. I DID NOT QUIT. They ruined Kate Kane and they destroyednot me. I followed orders, and if I wanted to stay I was going to have to sign my rights away. Any threats, any bullying tactics or blackmail will not make me stand down,” she wrote.

Sources close to the situation insist that what Rose paints is a distorted picture of what transpired a year and a half ago, noting that Rose herself was the subject of an internal probe into bad behavior allegations, with the two sides ultimately opting to part ways.

really? Ruby Rose has prematurely left every acting gig, and makes the same claim everytime. I want to believe her, but this is the boy who cried wolf type situation. Eventually Ruby will have to realize that it's her not everyone else. This is the problem with models.

Doesn't matter, your show sucked.

She seems stable.

She was on drugs clearly not a problem on set

Nobody cares

The shows a dumpster fire and has been since day one. Ruby made the right move.

Ya know, sometimes people get fired.

Time for lists. Peter White, Denise Petski, Nellie Andreeva.

Well Warner Brothers still employs spousal abuser Amber Heard, so I don't thin their judgement is relevant.

Nobody believes her. Be specific and prove it or shut up. If it was “everywhere” and “drove” her from the show, evidence shouldn’t be hard to produce.

All I can say is that I watched that show because of Ruby Rose. She was the best character ever. I no longer watch the show.

Who?

It’s amazing how these SJW warriors think they can craft unsubstantiated lies about people just to make a name fir themselves. If it’s true bring facts evidence then go after it lawyered you dint just jump on social media and vent cos you like your name in print.

Constantly using “they” in an article when you’re referring to a singular person is stupid. It makes it seem like multiple people left the show and are all making the same allegation, thus amping up the situation.

Maybe she was just a subpar actress with a poor attitude

She’s hot, but can’t act. The role was way too big for her gladshesgone

No one cares about this show or the drama surrounding it OR the character in general for that matter. They simply shouldn't have made the show. It was absolutely boring, had shitty special effects, and was a complete waste of time. They SHOULD have made a show about Jason Todd

Another 'victim' making up stories to excuse their own actions. Whodathunk?

I'll believe the actor more than the studio l.

Sorry, sounds like Warner Brothers manufacturing some story to cover their asses.

I miss her on batgirl . I get the feeling feeling she is entitled

Ruby came out with emails and showed everything lmao what WB gonna lie about next

🤔🤔🤔🤔

him

let’s just agree to stop making these shit shows.

Who?

Her lack of talent, picked because she's mentally ill, what do they expect?

What else would you expect from a weirdo?

I believe it

Ruby Rose is a horrible actress & the epitome of a toxic abusive person. This is public knowledge. She’s been a huge issue on multiple sets. They should never have hired her in the first place. No one should. She abuses her GFs

She was shitty and deserved to be fired. It was like watching Ralph Machio in drag but worse.

I don’t think Ruby is totally culpable, but she’s certainly not a blameless victim. Sounds like she can be as toxic as the Batwoman set.

Ok the only question I have, is who watches this show? Seriously does it even HAVE ratings?

Oh, I thought they just fired her.

I never saw the show. I only saw her in a Netflix movie. she was pretty good

It’s sad that this is what’s gonna be the legacy of the show (apart from being poorly written).

Your article was written by an amateur with the improper user of pronouns in a sentence. 'They' = plural and 'she' = singular. Do better at proofreading next time.

This is like the 6th different reason she left the show.

the new CWBatwoman is garbage to the MAX! the girl who plays Batwomen is HORRIBLE, her acting is so bad that how she got the role means she had to of slept with someone or just the ppl who picked her have no clue on good talent

She says she is not Scar Jo becasue of every reason but the truth... Scarlett Johansson is; A better actor, more talent, more depth, range, skill & versatility. You are not her becasue you can't be, even if you had the money & the staff, you still would be right where you are.

Why didn't Jessica Alba take Batwoman? She was in Dark Angel, that's her CV right there.

I thought it was because she allergic to material they made suit out of

Yeah, I tried to work on that show, as an RN helping with Covid precautions. I lasted one month. I had worked in ERs for 30 years, and never experienced such a toxic workplace.

WB can hit back at Ruby Rose but she did say 2 things right. 1,CW is shit. 2, CW done Batwoman Dirty. Now Pertain me while I go watch Titans & Doom Patrol on HBOmax and maybe catch up with a few other things. That Superman show on CW & Stargirl is made by HBOmax Right.

Just reading your stupid article with all the “they” “them” when referring to Ruby Rose. How bloody pathetic is this PC bullshit going to go. Man or woman. Science Fact.

They did this to Ray Fisher. Its all so tiring.

Sorry, not going to believe the company, since the same thing happened to main actress to Sleepy Hollow.

I am on her side as after seeing the BTS news of Justice League, it's rather clear that Warner Bros. is a cesspool of pricks.

SHE is a bad actress that needs to stop acting now!!!

IStandWithRubyRose because both wbpictures and TheCW has a documented history of nasty behavior involving it’s actors. Their response to her accusations were a little indifferent as well. RubyRose ❤️

You make a description of a dispute between a company and a woman needlessly confusing by referring to everyone involved 'they'

Tbh I don't believe Ruby Rose at all. This is not the first time I have read that she is a monster to everyone on sets of TV/movies. Also what bothers me is your a grown ass woman but you wait 1 1/2 years to say something. Sorry not sorry

After reading that article it absolutely seems like she is in the right. The amount of injuries, and lack of response from Warner to me implies they know they are in the wrong. Hell even she knew that show was bad. She has a long portfolio with little drama to note.

Writing“they”instead of “she” in an article sounds like, Bizarro wrote it. It makes no sense. People in the future are going to think 🤔 we were really dumb!

if the allegations are true then ..this is bad IStandWithRubyRose 💪🏾

Let me just say I've heard so much about warner bros over the years and now that this has come out further proves that maybe it is something going on at warner bros from movies to even their music side of business it's just as shady!

Thought she just didn’t want to act/be apart of the show anymore but now I’m not sure that’s true

WB would have been well advised to instead of only throwing allegation claims back but offering to investigate her claims as well if she comes forward with new evidence.

Toxic

so when she was on the show everyone was haters of lesbians according to WB because she was a lesbian and it wasn't because the show was crap or anything all the haters were homophobic When she says the show was actually garbage to work on SUDDENLY THEY DONT CARE SHE'S LESBIAN

She couldn’t just take her money and go now she see the money drying up and she upset. Smh okay

I mean, not for anything, but there have been complaints about toxic work behavior concerning the CW since they bought out the WB. Buffy, Angel, Charmed, and I’ve heard Toxic rumors re: Batwoman, Riverdale, & Legends. Maybe CW should be investigated.

Wow

I believe her. The words matter people are full of shit. Especially since they ignored old tweets from the Iris actress. That knocked Trans people. Yet they have gone on all year long that words matter. With the Flash only defeating bad guys with words now. TheCW

So nothing to do with the TERRIBLE performance by her?

Lawsuit and investigation. If what she said is true, Warner Bros should not be allowed to continue doing business and higher-ups need to be held responsible. If it's not true, there should be a libel suit.

Ruby being difficult to work with & WB having assholes in charge are not mutually exclusive 😂 both of these things can be true…speaks to her privilege she names Batwoman/CW as if 99% of sets don’t deal with the same toxic shit every day

I tried to watch and like it, but it just seemed disconnected somehow.

I would believe her. I worked on sets for just 2 years and it was always extremely toxic and also adolescent. It felt like if you weren't part of a clique on set you were being treated like the middle school nerd.

I'm not even a little bit surprised.

I believe that was the case...From the time it was announced Ruby Rose was to play the role...The haters came out from everywhere...So, with that the powers that be needed her replaced...She is a great actor so that wouldn't work...Only intimidation could...I no longer watch...

Rose was too good for that show and should have quit the minute they handed her that awful cringey script.

the whole show was an abomination

WB execs woke up from their drug fueled haze and called their lawyers to make a statement. Now it's back to getting high and pumping out low effort garbage that appeals to their undiscerning target market.

This proves what I always have thought about her. She is selfish and not a nice person. I'm glad they dropped her as long time Batwoman fan? Ruby doesn't deserve to represent that character. She never seem into the role either for the Jump.

We didn't like her acting... So it's OK, cancelled that bish

Warner Bros. effectively handed that toxic diva her walking papers and then when she bitter-blasted them online they just handed her a mega L 😂😂😂

She was a terrible batwoman, couldn't act at all. Not her first terrible job either. Let's be real i watch because of Alice now she is a character worth watching.

What we appear to have is yet another narcissist refusing to take responsibility for their crappy behaviour and instead lying and twisting things so that they're the victim. Seen it so many times, and it's why it's easier to believe WB THIS time as suppose to Ruby.

Crap viewing figures then.

Them tell her that people will get fired and it cost millions if she do not come back that no blackmail that fact,it what happen went star can't work on project your doing around them

I'd rather believe Miss Rose than a corporation.

SHE IS ONLY TELLING THE TRUTH , WHY THEN IS THE NETWORK SO ALARMED,... OH RIGHT - IMAGE - IS EVRYTHING IN - HOLLYWEIRD !!!,......-

Who even likes these shite cw hero shows anymore they haven't been good in years.

Go woke go broke. Sounds like working at a high school. This is what happens warnerbros when you do dumb shit like change a national artifact to appease the CCP. You just start hiring in group idiots who caused messes like this

Show stinks and a bunch of people with there preferred pronouns in there bio are calling Ruby a pronoun different to her preferred pronoun. Fuck I love the Internet

Sounds like a perfect storm of clusterfkness. Just step away and go your own way.

She didn't even look like a credible 'Batwoman' I mean red dyed hair, her mask looks like it's going to fall off...

At least the show is much better now (and likely also the atmosphere on stage). I hope that there will be a third series, but will it be called Batwoman and Batman or similar?

I believe Ruby, there are too many stories of abusive power dynamics behind the scenes at WB

In other news, a company protects itself. An entitled actress is entitled. Please join us in ten minutes for the most significant update of the day. TV is a dying medium, and who cares? No one watches the CW.

It's shit anyway

They will bat the claims away

so 1) sued the WB 2) lost 3) defense wins 1 year of non disclosure only? maybe take the out of court settlement next time your case is flimsy?

Who knows what really goes on but why did all the other cast stay if this was going on and let's be honest ruby left for film offers etc better never cast her in first place she put no effort into the role and to be hitting out at all the cast like this if anyone being toxic...

Based on shade from her co-stars after she left, I'm guessing there's some truth to Ruby Rose being difficult on set but if your lead actor gets seriously injured, one stuntperson seriously burned and another left paralyzed, she's certainly not faultless

A diabolical show and a very bad actress. I read she wasn’t physically ready for such a demanding roll & wasn’t prepared for the long hours of being a tv show lead. It’s a he said / she said break up type situation this. It’s as obvious as it is predictable. 🤷🏻‍♂️ a travesty!

It's supposed to be batwoman not ambiguous pixie woman

Oh no! This will sour the show for the two people watching it for sure!

my eyes were assaulted watching that show and all other CW DC shows. cancel all of them

Why are all these strong feminists too weak to stand up for themselves? They're always fleeing and hiding from something 'toxic' I call bs on this.

Toxic behaviour on the set of a woke cringefest tv show? Nooooooooo... that's impossible!

The show was duff anyway. When is the Xena Warrior Princess reboot coming?

The current bat franchise has NO WHITE person on the side of good. Batwoman - black, BatCave Backup Crew - 1x black, 1x Chinese, Crows unofficial partner - black woman. Main villain, Alice - White. Need i say more? Pariscummings

I think its more like Ruby exposed their practices and culture, and then they saw an opportunity to go full on woke to get the black audience with a black batwoman. Pariscummings

ruby left because of an injury as well. Not discounting if there any political tention as well, WB is known for that, especially with the movies.. then why hasn’t meagantandy or JaviciaLeslie rachel skarsten said anything?

Go Girl ❤️

This is not the first the the C.W has acted shitty with shows or their actors. I'm not surprised at all.

3 ruby

'they' 'their' wtf? This news was exhausting to read.

Ruby Rose ladies and gentlemen Ruby Rose ... The cause The problem The solution to her own mess Ruby Rose ... buy 1 get 1 free it’s bound to screw you over while you eat cheese and crackers

Oh I'm with her. 100%

Not sure what Ruby Rose is complaining about. Her appearance in any movie automatically makes the movie 70% worse. And as a lead in a television show, that goes up to somewhere 3780% worse.

The shows garbage and should have been canceled after season 1.

Nothing Warner Bros says about anything should ever be believed. They are Trump level disingenuous.

The show is trash. Too woke

Ruby outchea lying

People it’s Batwoman. Move on to anything else.

I stopped watching Batwoman because of the bad performance of RubyRose

I want to point out that ruby is famous for abusing a waiter and a maid at a hotel, now she wants to cry victim, but if I remember correctly didn't a couple of The Flash stars accuse her if inappropriate and rude behavior too?

I know someone on the set. She's full of shit. The only thing toxic was her.

Ruby Rose was and is horrible. I don't doubt there was a 'toxic work environment' when she was on set.

Wouldn't have anything to do with her being gay would it, and not getting what she wants? We all should see both sides of the story before we come to conclusions. Bit she does have a reputation...

Pfft. She's a diva for sure. One way to make headlines

This article was so hard to read with all the nonsense. I guess we are giving up on proper Grammar and the English language? 🙄

ryanfield This is just bizarre whatever the truth actually is

The fact that they felt the need to “hit back” tells me all I need to know.

I have no issues with wokeness, binary, non-binary, they/him/her. I don't care for corporates nor individuals. I'm old fashioned she simply looks like she has the face of a c*nt.

Having a toxic workplace is so counterproductive

I was just so proud and excited when Ruby Rose played Batwoman as the first Jewish superhero on TV (unless I missed someone.)

I think another reason she was let go was that you could have put a piece of driftwood in the Batwoman costume and filmed it and not noticed a difference in acting ability

I had a ton of uncomfortable moments growing up, whether at school, work, around family and friends. I just assumed that's what life is. I guess now people need to say 'toxic' and need to be a victim.

Show is terrible with or without her.

The show was terrible, but season 2 was unwatchable. Please cancel this show and reboot it down the road.

From the text of this article, it sounds like Ruby Rose is either suffering from or being accused of multiple personality disorder.

I have the feeling this is one of those situations where nobody is worth rooting for. Ruby Rose is a notoriously nasty person, and the CW is foul and corrupt. And if they weren't, the show still would have sucked.

I believe Ruby, I remember the Jimmy Fallon interview she showed the video in the operating room. Ruby almost paralyzed! I don't understand if this is happening why can't something be done about CW? Looks like they cut corners.

shit show

CC: heelsvs...ahh damn he's not here any more :(

Later, dude.

I’ve heard she was the terrible one to work with & she wasn’t physically or mentally ready for a tv show shoot.

Lol that’s rich coming from her. This woman famously abused a waiter while she was filming in New Orleans

Something stinks to high heaven about this... Ruby has claimed it was her near-death injury that made her decide to leave...that the stunt work and long hours that was her decision to leave... Now, she claims the opposite? Nah, I don't believe her.

greg is like one of kindest person i remember seeing at con for arrow and flash long time ago

that moment when you try to use your wokeness to cover up how bad the show was

Where have we seen this before? WB sucks.

Warner Bros - the home of toxicity IStandWithRubyRose 🌹IStandWithRayFisher ♥️

*Drove Them from the show. The full article addresses Ruby Rose accordingly, just the tweet misgenders. 👍

WB shameful

dont believe it at all......wonder what WB has to say, or other people that were there when she was....NOONE should pass judgement until BOTH sides are heard

Toxic workplace all over the place. Just leave. You cannot change the toxic culture.
