BATWOMAN Production Assistant Weighs In On "Dictator" Ruby Rose's "Reign Of Terror"

Ruby Rose's recent allegations against cast and producers on The CW's Batwoman have not been backed-up by a season 1 production assistant, who has now described the actress as a "dictator."

WarnerMedia recently released a statement in response to the shocking allegations made by former Batwoman star Ruby Rose, vehemently denying the actress' claims. Rose's costars Dougray Scott and Camrus Johnson then backed-up the studio with statements of their own, and a production assistant has now weighed-in.

Unfortunately for Rose, it doesn't look like she's going to have much back-up in this fight!

Alexander J. Baxter, who worked on Season 1 of the show and is also the CEO and founder of Constellate Films, shared a lengthy statement with CBR, in which he describes Rose as a "dictator" who frequently behaved unprofessionally on set and was incredibly rude and disrespectful to the crew.

"[Rose] 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."

Needless to say, this doesn't paint Rose in the best light, and while there's always a chance this is just one person's bad experience, it's starting to sound like the actress didn't make many friends during her tenure on Batwoman.

Be sure to have a read through Baxter's full statement here, and let us know what you think in the comments.

@Kumkani -
I believe her.
And Ruby.
And the black dude.
And Dougray.
And his mannequins.

@Kumkani - I'd say this has backfired on Rose. When a production assistant that the public doesn't normally care or know about has damning allegations of his own, and believable ones too, then it really paints Rose out in an ever worsening light.

As I said earlier, what's more likely: that Rose is right and literally everyone else is engaged in a conspiracy against her, or that the one person that others are saying was the problem was indeed the problem. It's kind of easy to figure out.

@PantherKing - Chloe Zhao is awesome. The more I hear her talk about her film making process the more I want to see stuff from her. She just seems so down to earth and takes that down to earth approach to her film making. I really like that she uses real world locations and natural lighting from those locations. Just from the Eternals trailers it gives everything a sense of real place and presence.

I think Marvel were spot on for picking her to do a movie like this.

Well there you go, someone saying why Ruby got so many complaints and was fired.

Im sure it wasn't just her being difficult but what this person said makes Ruby sound like a bitch

@Waddles - Although if this is all it is concering actors, then its a whole lot of nothing and people are being petty on both sides.

All the accidents on set are for sure something that should be addressed though. Get a team that knows what they are doing. Arrow had a great team.

@dracula - The word way back was that she was a bit of a nightmare on-set. That's not to say the set didn't have production problems and got people hurt, but Rose gave as good as she got when it came to being a diva. Remember, she was coming off of John Wick 2 and Orange is the New Black, so she may have been walking around the CW set like her shit didn't stink.

I just remember that cast and crew were happy to see her go, and it seems like it's a her (they?) vs everybody else situation.

@dracula - At this point, it's a production assistante, so it's not bickering between actors or high-level execs. This is coming from someone who was essentially Rose's subordinate and... man, would I have hated to be this person in that situation.

That being said, it's also possible some of the stuff Rose has pointed out is true, which doesn't excuse her behavior either.

She might be a dictator and there’s no excuse from actors on such despicable traits but also at the same time if the working conditions are bad or terrible it needs to be called out. This is quickly turning into another Ray Fisher vs WB controversy
udubdave
udubdave - 10/21/2021, 4:05 PM
@PantherKing - It's not the same at all. Nobody complained about Ray Fisher's attitude or his treatment of the production crew during the reshoots. The only complaint was Ray Fisher's towards WB (specifically Whedon).
PantherKing
PantherKing - 10/21/2021, 4:13 PM
@udubdave - I’m not talking about people complaining about Fisher. I’m glad he exposed Whedon but I’m saying we are having a situation here where no side is taking responsibility for their action. I don’t trust WB because they keep brushing things under the rug and at the same time Rose’s attitude is unacceptable.
Battabingg
Battabingg - 10/21/2021, 4:40 PM
@PantherKing - I don't think WB brushed anything under the rug. They did an investigation and found that Rose was a problem and fired her. Now, the CW's production foibles that leave people injured certainly need to be addressed, and may have been.

@PantherKing - It is turning into another what? Because some of you act like DC is always in the wrong?

Ruby might have been a diva but the allegations she has expressed towards WB's on set practices have still not been fully investigated.




WB is coming off like a child saying *yeah but ruby......





This is a mess

@AmazingFILMporg - This crew member isn't WB though. They would be hired for the production just like Ruby was so this crew member isn't defending WB or making these statements on their behalf, they're making them in defense of themselves. Sounds like this bitterness went both ways.

Outside of the incompetence of the stunt team, this seems like a whole lot of nothing.

Actors not getting along and having egos.

There is no show in existence where the entire cast got along all the time.

If they don't like each other thats fine, its nothing worth trying to get the internet to cancel anyone.

Although yeah should fire the showrunner and stunt team.

I know not every actor is like that, but there's a lot out there that are.
