BATWOMAN Star Camrus Johnson Fires Back At Ruby Rose: "It Is VERY Hard To Be Fired When You're The Lead"

Yesterday, Batwoman alum Ruby Rose levelled a series of allegations against the show's cast and crew, including Luke Fox/Batwing actor, Camrus Johnson. Now, he's responded with some cutting remarks...

Ruby Rose decided to drop a series of bombshells about her time starring in Batwoman yesterday, confirming that she didn't quit, while also levelling a series of shocking allegations at the cast and crew.

Bizarrely, those claims included witnessing someone's face essentially melt off, though Warner Bros. was quick to shut the actress down by making it clear she was fired due to "multiple complaints about workplace behavior." Ultimately, there's probably elements of truth on both sides, but Camrus Johnson - who Rose called "an egomaniac kid" - has now chosen to respond. 

"Batfam ya know I couldn’t go the whole day without saying something!" the Batwing actor says. "I love y’all, don’t think I haven’t seen all the love today. 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."

"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," Johnson continued. "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."

Dougray Scott similarly came under fire from the former Kate Kane, but has yet to respond. There's clearly no love lost between Rose and Johnson, anyway, so it will be interesting to see if any other Batwoman actors decide to share their thoughts (we're guessing Warner Bros. would rather move on).

Check out Johnson's response in full below:

I believe him.
I believe her.
But most of all
I believe Dougray Scott.

@TheWalkingCuban -
and WB.
And CW.
And the show runner.
And the women Scott yelled at.
They are all above reproach so it must all be true.

I don't know what to believe. I mean, you've got Ruby saying people working on the show and even other co-stars treated her poorly. She called out people that were never mentioned until now. A couple years later. Of course these co-stars are going to try to cover each other, even though she didn't specifically name them. In some ways that's even worse, because now the public thinks it could have been ANYONE.

This could easily be a case of Ruby just being incredibly difficult to work with, or what she said could be 100% true. She could have left on her own, or been fired.

Who knows? But one thing is for sure. This is a black actor claiming that everything was peachy on set. So at least this isn't some racially charged deal like with Ray Fisher.

@CorndogBurglar - she could’ve been a dick on set and WB could’ve been negligent to the hazards and safety issues
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 10/21/2021, 8:13 AM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - Yeah, for sure. It's hard to take sides when both are acting like they did nothing wrong.

@CorndogBurglar -

At the very least, Ruby Rose is right about her accident and surgery, as well as for the production assistant who ended up paralyzed and whose co-workers had to create a fund to support her because Warner wouldn't take it in charge at first.

@ShimmyShimmyYA - this is the narrative I’m taking. She was an Ass-hat and WB was reckless. But most importantly none of us really gives a [frick].

It’s so funny… both he AND WB haven’t denied her allegations and tried to make it entirely about her, which is kind of telling

@DaHyro - "he AND WB haven’t denied her allegations"

"and even moreso that a lot of lies were spread today"

IDK sounds like a denial to me.

@Waddles - I don't think they can deny some of what Ruby has stated without paying a lot of people off, cough**{{Camrus Johnson}}cough.

I think this is about to get very legal & very long & protracted.

@DaHyro - Yep, its easy for folks on the other side of the money bag to take the company's side in the issue. Things are going good for him, his role is elevated in the show, so far as he is concerned...what is there to worry about or believe in her account?

Thanks for reminding us that the official statement originally was that she walked away. No, it doesn't make things confusing. It just shows you're inconsistent, which is why I believe ruby over you.

OK, now this is getting spicy. He didn't give some basic PR answer, he's being for real.

Idek who to believe

That show is getting canceled.

CorndogBurglar - 10/21/2021, 8:15 AM
@TheWalkingCuban - Should have already been canceled lol

@CorndogBurglar - I heard this one podcaster, the Blerd or Black Nerd or somethin, he was so excited to meet all them at some party before the show started. He was hyped. But he was honest. On a podcast episode after the show started, he said, and I paraphrase Ruby is really nice people guys, I met her, she’s great, but she can’t act.

I was surprised at such a blunt statement. That was when I already had left the CW shows alone so I haven’t said one episode. I tried to watch black lightning but just a few episodes and I felt like an agenda was being forced, to the hurt of natural entertainment. Then I remembered, ain’t nobody forcing me, and I cut it off. I suspect Batwoman is nothing like that, still don’t care to watch it.

@TheWalkingCuban - Nahh... this crap will have multiple seasons just for the ''Representation Sake'' ..

They don't really care about ratings or good stories

TheWalkingCuban - 10/21/2021, 9:00 AM
@RevanOfKrypton - well we had to get the ghostbusters film from a few years ago to get to that much better looking new one… but box office and ratings are two different things.

@RevanOfKrypton - I only saw an episode and like one clip, but never gonna check out a single other second of that garbage. They no joke claimed that women had special abilities. And not in a way like "we can do anything if we put our minds to it". No, like literal super powers just from having 2 x chromosomes. How much more woke of a show can exist at that point?

Agreed but here we be.

@TheWalkingCuban - agree since the show is crap, but really if this is the reason for its cancelation then it shouldnt be cancelled. Obviously someone is lying and we dont want another amber turd situation
