Ruby Rose Alleges Misconduct, Unsafe Conditions Led to Batwoman Exit

Rose, who left the CW series after a season in May 2020, claimed that she was forced to return to the set just ten days after major surgery due to a work-related injury. 

Ruby Rose sets the record for her on her sudden departure from Batwoman in May 2020, claiming that a toxic job made her leave. In a series of Instagram stories shared  Wednesday, Rose claimed that after a season, she did not “finish” the CW series but was forced to walk in unsustainable working conditions, including sentence-related injuries and safety concerns.

“I will come for you so what happened to me never happens to another person again,” Rose wrote, naming Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries and executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter in their postings.

 As a result, I’ll be able to reclaim my life and the truth. You should be ashamed of yourselves.” (They said on Instagram at the time of Rose’s departure in May 2020, “It wasn’t an easy choice but those who know, know….”) I’ve chosen to remain silent for the time being since it’s my preference, but please know that I appreciate you all.”)

The actor, who made history as television’s first openly gay superhero, had surgery in 2019 for two herniated discs he sustained while filming Batwoman. “Imagine coming back to work 10 days after this,” Rose captioned a photo of the procedure on Instagram. 

They also say they were pushed to return to set 10 days after the operation instead of taking “half a day to rewrite me out for a few weeks to recuperate.” “If I didn’t, the entire crew and cast would be fired, and I’d be a disappointment to everyone,” they claim, “since Peter Roth stated he wouldn’t recast, and I just cost the studio millions (by getting hurt on his set).” “[And] that I’d be the one who ended up putting so many people out of work.”

Several staff members were hurt on the production of Batwoman’s first season, according to Rose. They claim one crew member received “third-degree burns throughout his entire body,” a production assistant was injured, two stunt doubles died, and Rose was “cut in the face so near to my eye in a stunt that I may have been blind[ed].”

Rose also says that a GoFundMe page was put up to help pay for the bills of a production assistant who was gravely hurt on site. They claim that if Dries had chosen to shut down production at the start of COVID-19, the situation might have been averted.

“To my beloved, dear fans, stop asking whether I would return to that dreadful program, I would not return for any amount of money or if a pistol were pointed at my head,” Rose said. NOR DID I GIVE UP. I DID NOT GIVE UP. They were the ones who damaged Kate Kane and Batwoman, not me. I obeyed orders, and if I wanted to stay, I’d have to sign away my rights. Threats, bullying, or blackmail will not persuade me to back down.”

Warner Bros. TV addressed Rose’s allegations in a statement to Vanity Fair: “Despite the revisionist story that Ruby Rose  now shares online, directed at the producers,  cast and crew, the network and the studio, the truth, so Warner Bros.

 Television  decided not to take advantage of its option to hire Ruby for the second season  of Batwoman based on several complaints about workplace behavior that were scrutinized and dealt with privately out of respect for everyone involved. “Representatives for Berlanti, Dries, Rose, and Schechter did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Roth was not available for comment at the time of publication.

Following Rose’s departure as Batwoman, the program cast Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder, the character’s new off-duty identity, for season two, which is now running on the CW.
