Rose has a thorn in her side
RUBY Rose is going to bat against the CW and Warner Bros. TV, claiming executives virtually forced her “Batwoman” exit by requiring her to return to work just days after undergoing major surgery as well as allegedly refusing responsibility for several severe on-set injuries and creating a toxic work environment. “Dear fans, stop asking if I will return to that awful show,” said Rose on her Instagram Story rebuke of the network and its bigwigs Tuesday night. “I wouldn’t return . . . if a gun were to my head.” Rose alleged that former CW President Peter Roth insisted she resume filming the series just 10 days after surgery for an injury she suffered on his set. “[If I didn’t] the whole crew and cast would be fired, and I’d let everyone down, because [Roth] said he wouldn’t recast and I just lost the studio millions [by getting injured on his set],” she claimed. “[And] that I’d be the one who cost so many people their jobs.” Warner Bros. TV has responded to Rose’s rant with the following statement, which corroborates her claims of being fired, but disputes pretty much everything else: “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.”
