Warner Bros. has claimed that Ruby Rose was fired from Batwoman after receiving "complaints about workplace behavior" regarding the actor.
Yesterday (October 20), Rose publicly accused her Batwoman co-star Dougray Scott and former Warner Bros. Television exec, Peter Roth, of "abusive" behavior on set, which she said ultimately made her leave the show.
The Orange Is The New Black star, who made a sudden exit from the series in May 2020, had taken to her Instagram Story to share a series of explosive allegations.
In her posts, the 35-year-old speculated that Roth left Warner Bros. because he "couldn’t stop making young women steam your pants, around your crotch while you were still wearing said pants" and claimed he had hired a private investigator to follow her.
She also alleged that she was forced back to work soon after sustaining serious injuries and claimed that co-star Scott "hurt" a female stunt double and "abused" women on set.
Warner Bros., the production company behind The CW series, has now responded to the outspoken actor's post with a statement of its own.
According to the film studio, it was, in fact, Rose who had allegedly been the center of workplace behavior complaints.
Per Deadline, Warner Bros. stated:
"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."
In response, Scott shared a statement of his own: "As Warner Bros has stated, they decided not to exercise the option to engage Ruby for season two of Batwoman based on multiple complaints about her workplace behavior.
"I absolutely and completely refute the defamatory and damaging claims made against me by her; they are entirely made up and never happened."
Yesterday, Rose shared the following statement with her 17.5 million Instagram followers: "I’m going to tell the whole world what really happened to me on that set. I will come for you so what happened to me never happens to another person again. And so I can finally take back my life and the truth. Shame on you."
She continued: "Not sure if you left after getting promoted to the highest position because you just couldn’t stop making young women steam your pants, around your crotch while you were still wearing said pants or if you left after putting a private investigator on me who you fired as soon as the report didn’t fit your narrative."
Addressing her co-star's allegedly toxic onset behavior, she said: "Dougray hurt a female stunt double, he yelled like a little b**** at women and was a nightmare. 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."
