I've got issues with this...

After she left the show... she said she would be open to return.... but now she is up here saying this shit and saying accusing Camrus Johnson of onset leaking.

NOpe...

Why do this now??
All i know is that the show is much better with her out...
She probably snapped after finding out they recast Kate Kane..
This is exactly it. They recasted her character, permanently shutting her out. DC Fandom went over with great reviews and excitement Regarding Batwoman. That ish hurt her soul. I mean cmon, right after fandom?? The hate is strong with this CAC.

^^^^

Even if that ain't it?

That's it.

She had a WHOLE lot of time to voice all this especially after Ray Fisher and them went at Joss

and Berlanti crew BEEN having issues.

And she better not forget that there were a lot of rumors she was also an asshole on set.

This may not end well for anyone.

Oh boy, what a tangled web we weave. WB has taken off the gloves. I was the elliptical thus morning saying damn like 5 times. Lol!!!

One major revelation is that Ruby didn't quit....she was fired. Her contract t was only for one season because they wasn't sure if the show would work. WB decided not to exercise the extension and released her.

Now we can see where the anger is coming from. She was fired and her career has stalled with a list of B and C rate movies. Woman scorned.

Batwoman (TV series)

WATCH IT NOW ON
HBO MAX, fuboTV, The CW, and more options
The world of Batwoman was thrown for a loop Wednesday when former star Ruby Rose came forward with several allegations about unsafe working conditions on set and why they actually left the CW superhero drama after season 1 (Rose uses they/she pronouns). Warner Bros TV., which produces Batwoman, and a former costar released statements refuting Rose's claims, while a couple of cast members tweeted out their support of the show.
When Rose, who played original Batwoman Kate Kane, exited the show in May 2020, it was suggested that it was their decision, or at least the split mutual on both their part and the show's. However, in a series of Instagram stories posted Wednesday morning, Rose claimed that wasn't the case.
"I did not quit," Rose wrote in one of the posts (which were viewed by EW before expiring). "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."

In response, WBTV released the following statement in which it revealed Rose was actually fired: "Despite the revisionist history that Ruby Rose is now sharing online aimed at the producers, the cast and crew, the network, and the Studio, the truth is that Warner Bros. Television had decided not to exercise its option to engage Ruby for season two of BATWOMAN based on multiple complaints about workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned," said the official statement.

Ruby Rose as Batwoman

The star also claimed that former WBTV President Peter Roth hired a private investigator to follow them until "the report didn't fit your narrative" and forced Rose back to work 10 days after they had surgery for a neck injury sustained on set "or the whole crew and cast would be fired because Peter Roth said he wouldn't recast and I just lost the studio millions (by getting injured on his set.)" According to Rose, "spending half a day to rewrite me out for a few weeks to heal" wasn't an option. Furthermore, Rose claims production told them to "get a taxi" when they couldn't drive themselves to work post-surgery.

"These are slanderous and unfounded accusations against Peter. He's one of the most respected executives in the business," a source familiar with the situation told EW.
Rose also leveled several safety concerns about the show's set, which weren't directly addressed in the statement. "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," they wrote. "We lost 2 stunt doubles, I got cut in the face so close to my eye in a stunt I could have been blind."
These allegations are in addition to a previously reported on-set accident that occurred March 2020 when the bucket of a lift hit production assistant Amanda Smith in the head, and she required spinal surgery, according to a GoFundMe page. "Her accident occurred because our show refused to shut down when everyone else did because of COVID," Rose claimed in her Wednesday post.
At the time of the accident, WBTV released the following statement: "A valued member of the Batwoman production team was recently injured during the preparation of a filming location in Vancouver. Our thoughts are with her for a speedy recovery. We are working closely with WorkSafeBC to provide any and all requested information. We continue to work to protect the health and safety of all our crews, casts and employees."
Rose also accused costar Dougray Scott, who played Kate's father Jacob Kane, of inappropriate behavior on set. "Dougray hurt a female stunt double [sic] he yelled like a little bitch at women and was a nightmare," they claimed. "He left when he wanted and arrived when he wanted he abused women and in turn as a lead of a show I sent an email out asking for a no yelling policy, they declined."
Scott refuted these allegations in a statement obtained by EW. "As Warner Bros. Television has stated, they decided not to exercise the option to engage Ruby for season two of Batwoman based on multiple complaints about her workplace behaviour. I absolutely and completely refute the defamatory and damaging claims made against me by her; they are entirely made up and never happened."
In the wake of the back and forth Wednesday, some members of the cast commented on social media, including Camrus Johnson (Luke Fox/Batwing), who tweeted: "But yea fam, she was fired. And it is VERY hard to be fired when you're the lead. Imagine what u have to do for that 2 happen." Johnson, who worked with Rose in season 1, continued: "Since it was claimed she 'walked away' last year I'm sure some of you may be pretty confused or upset, and even moreso that a lot of lies were spread today. Just know we have a lot of great souls working on this show and none of this changes that. From the top to the bottom."

EW has reached out to Johnson's representative for any additional comment.
Bridget Regan, who is recurring as Poison Ivy in season 3, also tweeted out support for the show on Wednesday night before deleting her Twitter account on Thursday morning. In the now-deleted tweet (which was viewed by EW), she wrote "I'd just like to say I LOVE working @CWBatwoman. I feel very safe on set and everyone in front and behind the camera are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and supportive."
Batwoman airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on the CW.

Dougray Scott Denies Batwoman Co-Star Ruby Rose's Abuse Claims
Dougray Scott denies abuse allegations against him made by her former Batwoman co-star Ruby Rose, calling her comments "defamatory" and "damaging."

BY SHAWN DEPASQUALEPUBLISHED 1 DAY AGO

Batwoman actor Dougray Scott denies former co-star Ruby Rose's claims that he abused women on the set of The CW show. Rose was cast as Kate Kane when Batwoman launched in 2019 but was written out of the show between seasons one and two. Batwoman continued to air, but with a new character (and actor) under the mask. At the time, there was no concrete answer as to why Rose left the show, but rumors persisted that it was due to behind-the-scenes conflict.

Earlier, Rose finally broke her silence about her exit from Batwoman with a series of firey Instagram posts that detail multiple allegations against Warner Bros. Television Studios, the show's producers, and cast. Rose specifically singled out co-star Dougray Scott, who played her father on Batwoman, writing that he "hurt a female stunt double" and "was a nightmare" on set. She also alleged that he yelled at female co-workers and "abused women." Rose claims she emailed producers to request a "no yelling policy" because of Scott's on-set behavior but was "declined."


Dougray Scott responded to the allegations in a statement to The Wrap, unequivocally denying everything and insisting that all of Rose's claims are "entirely made up." Scott's statement also repeats an earlier statement from Warner Bros that the real reason for Rose's exit was because Warner Bros. Television "decided not to exercise the option to engage Ruby for season two of Batwoman based on multiple complaints about her workplace behaviour." Dougray Scott's complete statement is below:

As Warner Bros. Television has stated, they decided not to exercise the option to engage Ruby for season two of ‘Batwoman’ based on multiple complaints about her workplace behaviour. I absolutely and completely refute the defamatory and damaging claims made against me by her; they are entirely made up and never happened.


The Warner Bros. Television statement Scott mentioned came just hours after Rose's allegations went viral, with the studio calling her statement "revisionist history" before detailing that it was the studio who decided not to renew her contract for Batwoman season 2. In addition to calling out Scott's alleged abuse, Rose also claimed that he "left when he wanted and arrived when he wanted," implying the actor didn't adhere to set call times and would leave before filming was finished.



Along with Warner Bros. Television's, Scott's statement sets the ball back in Rose's court. She is already moved on from the series, and so has Scott, so there's nothing much that Batwoman cast, crew, or producers can do to fix things on set. Plus, with fairly definitive and final-sounding statements from Scott and Warner Bros. Television, it becomes a steeper hill for Rose to climb without backup from fellow cast and crew. Perhaps, others on the Batwoman set can verify Rose's claims and help clear up which side of the story is true.

‘Batwoman’ Alum Dougray Scott Denies Ruby Rose’s ‘Entirely Made Up’ Accusations He Abused Women
”I absolutely and completely refute the defamatory and damaging claims made against me by her,“ Scott says
Andi Ortiz | October 20, 2021 @ 1:34 PM


“Batwoman” alum Dougray Scott is defending himself after his former on-screen daughter Ruby Rose leveled allegations against him that he abused women on the set of The CW series. According to the actor, Rose’s claims “are entirely made up.”
“As Warner Bros. Television has stated, they decided not to exercise the option to engage Ruby for season two of ‘Batwoman’ based on multiple complaints about her workplace behaviour,” Scott said in a statement to TheWrap. “I absolutely and completely refute the defamatory and damaging claims made against me by her; they are entirely made up and never happened.”
In an extensive Instagram Story posted late Tuesday night, Rose leveled several accusations at some of her former co-stars, including Scott, as well as former WB TV president Peter Roth.

“Dougray hurt a female stunt double, he yelled like a little bitch at women and was a nightmare,” Rose wrote. “He left when he wanted and arrived when he wanted. He abused women and in turn as a lead of a show I sent an email asking for a no-yelling policy. They declined.”
In the hours following, Warner Brothers Television also fired back at the actress, saying that the actress was fired after “multiple complaints” about her behavior.
“Despite the revisionist history that Ruby Rose is now sharing online aimed at the producers, the cast and crew, the network, and the Studio, the truth is that Warner Bros. Television had decided not to exercise its option to engage Ruby for season two of ‘Batwoman’ based on multiple complaints about workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned,” the studio said.

An individual with knowledge of Rose’s exit says that investigations into these complaints about Rose went on for months before Warner Bros. TV chose not to pick up her option for Season 2.
Scott exited the series as Jacob Kane at the end of Season 2, with the story taking his character to prison in Metropolis. After disbanding the Crows for their brutality and deeply ingrained corruption, Jacob Kane found himself at the mercy of Roman Sionis, also known as Black Mask (Peter Outerbridge).

Having taken control of the GCPD, Sionis had Kane arrested for aiding and abetting his daughter, Alice (Rachel Skarsten). Since Blackgate prison was full of criminals Kane himself had locked up, he was transferred to Metropolis for safety as he awaited trial (which could have played a part in the planned “Batwoman”/”Superman & Lois” crossover that was canceled).

Batwoman Crew Member Backs WBTV, Calls Ruby Rose a 'Dictator' (Exclusive)
A production assistant who worked on Season 1 of Batwoman backs WBTV's claims about Ruby Rose's unprofessional behavior on the set of the show.

The latest development in the drama between former Batwoman star Ruby Rose and Warner Bros. Television Group comes by way of a production assistant named Alexander J. Baxter, who worked on Season 1 of the Arrowverse series.

Baxter, the CEO and founder of Constellate Films, issued the following statement to CBR regarding his time working with Rose on Batwoman:

When I first got into the industry, I was very fortunate to get on certain shows like Supergirl, Sabrina, and a few features here in there, but the highlight of my entry to film was Batwoman season one. I was an actor, aspiring to know more about the film industry, and when the job came up I was so excited, being a DC fan and a huge fan of Warner Bros., I jumped at the opportunity.

"My philosophy was that I could learn as much as I could on set and then go on to do my own films. Little did I know of the hell that away to me on those sets. The production company was professional, dialed in, and in every way fantastic. The crew was lovely, hard-working and dedicated to countless night shoots, it sounded to be an amazing experience in the making. Then came Ruby Rose. From day one, where her supposed injury stopped her from doing 60% of her job, she began her first day on the show not acknowledging a single crewmember besides anyone above the line. And as the days stretched on, the 18 hour Saturdays for some of us and the crew, things got worse. She showed up late most days, didn’t have her lines memorized, and whenever she interacted with anyone below the line, production assistant, LX crew, grips, it was as though we were beneath her boots. She stormed off set, she yelled at people, and whenever she interacted with any of us production assistants, we were disregarded as the trash we picked up. One day at the studio we spent the entire morning setting up her requested green room (six heaters, because she was used to Australian hot weather, and her table of snacks), only to have her show up, giggle, walk away and say she is good. We chalked it up to another “Ruby is just giving orders for the sake of giving orders moment” and moved on. Then, I was holding a door open for her, after having worked over 15 hours at that point in the freezing cold weather, and she came billowing through the door that I just opened, and she spilt her food. She looked at it, then up at me, and said: “well?” and then stormed off and left me to clean up her mess. That is what it felt like working beneath Ruby: cleaning up her mess. She never thanked us, she only made demands that left us all exhausted emotionally and physically.

She was a dictator to work for, and having been nothing but a production assistant eager to get into the industry, she made me consider quiting. If this was the industry I was going to get into, I sure as hell wasn’t going to work for entitled tyrants. Living downtown, I met one of her close friends on a dating app and he shared with me stories of them partying and getting high on all assortments of drugs, and funnily enough the days where she showed up 8 hours late to set, were the days he spoke about. She didn’t care how long we waited for her and made sure everything was perfect and ready, she just cared about her personal party lifestyle.

We worked countless long days, always going into overtime because she was either late or not off book, or some other reason relating to her not wanting to be there. From the moment we started the show she made every new person that came on uneasy and unsupported. She was a horrible star and made so many of us feel like we were helping make a show for a dictator.

Filmmakers, no matter what position they are on a film set deserve to be treated with respect. That’s how I was taught growing up and in film school, and when I read her article claiming that the production was at fault, it infuriated me because having been there, I don’t wanna stand by and let her badmouth a company that she tried to screw over. No matter how bad your day, you have no right to be cruel. And season 1 was her reign of cruelty."

On Oct. 20, over a year after exiting Batwoman, Rose issued harsh statements against showrunner Caroline Dries, former Warner Bros. Television Group Chairman Peter Roth, co-star Dougray Scott and Bertalnti Proudctions' Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. Her accusations included that Roth threatened to fire her if she didn't return to the set 10 days after neck surgery, that Dries' refusal to shut the production down during the pandemic indirectly led to an accident that left another production assistant paralyzed and that Scott abused women on the set of the show.


In the time since Rose's accusations, both Warner Bros. Television Group and Scott himself have dismissed them as "revisionist history" and/or "defamatory." Her allegations have also been called into question by a number of people who claim to have worked on Season 1 of Batwoman, specifically on a viral Reddit post featuring CBR's coverage of Rose's account.

Well damn...

I can honestly say we ALL predicted this sh*t exactly

When she threw EVERYONE under the bus naming names?

And NO ONE past or present in the entire Arrowverse backed her claim?

I knew she was done.

Did you read how they tried to pull Mick from Legends into all this?

I was done with her.

But stuff like this?

I didn't watch one second of that show - the fact they put that skeleton Ruby Rose as the lead of a Batwoman TV show - goes to show you this industry is obsessed with skinny White Women - the skinnier the better for them. I know women that could beat the shit out of men but none of them weight 100 pounds - So I could never suspend disbelief enough for the show to work for me.

As for all the other nonsense - Fuck them all WBTV and Ruby Rose - the whole situation was toxic

I can say this...

I felt they cast her more so because they wanted a gay lead.

Sidebar People forget now that many in that community said she was not really gay.

There were so many other out actresses who actively begged for that role who had more experience and more physicality more presence than her.
