WBTV rejects Batwoman allegations made by Ruby Rose

Former Batwoman star takes aim at producers & studio claiming being forced to continue works after suffering a neck injury.

Actor Ruby Rose has made several allegations around the set of Batwoman, taking aim at producers, showrunners, studio and co-stars.

In a series of posts on Instagram, Rose alleged being forced to continue work on the series shortly after suffering a neck injury on set.

Among the allegations she lays out, Rose says that:

  • Rose was forced back to work incredibly quickly after serious injuries, with the implication being that the entire crew would lose their jobs if they didn’t.
  • Rose says that the showrunner, Caroline Dries, only visited the set four times a year, and was rushing to finish the season during COVID when everyone else was shutting down.
  • Rose details numerous stuntperson injuries on set, including a burn injury so graphic that they witnessed in real time, that laments the network not offering anyone therapy for it.
  • Rose accuses former WB TV exec Peter Roth of inappropriate behaviour like having women steam his pants while he was still wearing them, and then having Rose investigated by a PI after leaving the series.

Rose posted on Instagram, “To everyone who said I was too stiff on bawoman [sic], imagine going back to work 10 days after this … 10 DAYS!!!!!! (or the whole crew and cast would be fired and I’d let everyone down because Peter Roth said he wouldn’t recast and i just lost the studio millions (by getting injured on his set) that is [sic] be the one who cost so many people their jobs.”

Another post also addresses costar Dougray Scott, who Ruby says, “Hurt a female stunt double, he yelled like a little bitch at women, and was a nightmare. He left when he wanted, and arrived when he wanted, and abused women.”

Warner Bros. Television responded to Rose’s allegations in a statement, writing: “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.”
