A summary. If even half true, what an absolute horror story it is.

See, even when it was still fresh in our minds, I always had a feeling there was more going on behind the scenes regarding Ruby's leaving the show than what we were told.
Suffice to say, this is hands down much worse than I ever expected. Like, much MUCH worse.
Wait...
(*looks back at previous pages*)
Holy hypocritical executive producers, Batman! Caroline Dries is the same lady who insisted that Kate wasn't getting killed off last year!
And now it turns out she's (probably) a bad person? Good grief, this show's cursed!
EDIT: Wait, they wouldn't let her take an x-ray?! What the actual fuck, guys?! How can these people be so damn heartless? How are they even in the positions they are in, anyway? Trying to fire the cast and crew and blaming it on the lead actress who was still recovering from a neck injury?! WHO. THE. HELL. DOES. THAT?!
EDIT 2: Oh wait, Peter Roth already left WBTV by now? Huh. HE STILL GOT AWAY WITH PULLING THIS DOUCHEY SHIT, OMFG...

The whole 20-episodes-a-season thing needs to die (not just with the CW but all across the board) if these are the lengths that networks will take to get the shows produced.
Or better yet, just animate the damn thing. Millennials and Gen Z, the new audience, don't have the same hangups about the Animation Age Ghetto like Gen X and above.

Correct, but hearing about people working with injuries, stunt people nearly dying, as well as nearly dying while driving home because they've worked 20 hour days makes me think these more fantastic series aren't worth producing if people regularly get hurt doing them. Didn't someone die accidentally during Titans?

The issue with stunt work is that it's inherently dangerous. The best they can do is make sure the proper safety measures are in place and not instruct them to something that places them in more danger like with what happened with Joi Harris.
Otherwise the stuff feels like should fall under common sense, but overruled by money or general dickery.

And now we got a statement from WB.
For some reason, I'm more inclined to listen to the lady who almost broke her neck over some PR calling her workplace horror stories "revisionist history."
An article by Deadline about the situation has a comment from someone saying Ruby was let go because she was the one getting complained at from the crew?
I mean, it could just be another troll, but...

Gen Z can't get enough of anime, at least.
Manga also exploded, of course that's just anime but that's starkly different than how I grew up.
And I've heard Ruby wasn't pleasant to work with (I found her comment about Camrus to be unnecessary), but that doesn't mean that she's lying about her claims.

Apparently Ruby Rose has come out with reasons for leaving. Mainly seeing Twitter postings about however and can't find the source, though that might be due to my lack of familiarity with Instagram.
