Ruby Rose Details On-Set Injuries and Toxic Working Conditions on the ‘Batwoman’ Set

Former Batwoman star Ruby Rose is speaking out candidly about her experiences on season 1 of the show, detailing toxic behavior and numerous injuries. The model and actor left Batwoman after only a season despite the show’s season 2 pickup, leaving the Arrowverse series without its lead character, Kate Kane.

Fans have spent a long time wondering why Ruby chose to leave Batwoman, and while the actor previously talked about the serious neck injuries she sustained that partially led to her exit, she’s now opening up even more in a series of Instagram Stories about what went down.

Ruby specifically called out The CW, series creator and showrunner Caroline Dries, executive producer Sarah Schechter, and executive producer Greg Berlanti in her Stories, starting by promising to “tell the world what really happened on that set.” “I will come for you so what happened to me never happens to another person again,” she said. “And so I can finally take back my life and the truth. Shame on you.”

Ruby then shared allegations of serious on-set injuries sustained by herself and other crew members, including third-degree burns and dangerous stunts that almost led to graver injuries. She also said she was required to be back on-set 10 days after getting surgery, even though she had hoped the show would pause production or “[spend] half a day to rewrite me out for a few weeks to heal.” Warner Bros. denied Ruby’s allegations, calling them a “revisionist history.”

Ruby continued talking about Batwoman in her Stories, later addressing the chairman of Warner Bros. Television Group Peter Roth (who retired in December 2020) about his own behavior, in part accusing him of “putting a private investigator on me, who you fired as soon as the report didn’t fit your narrative.” Warner Bros. again denied Ruby’s allegations in a statement to Cosmo.

A source familiar with the situation says, “These are slanderous and unfounded accusations against Peter. He’s one of the most respected executives in the business.”

The rest of Ruby’s Insta Stories about Batwoman can be seen below:

In response to Ruby’s comments, Warner Bros. gave the following full statement to Cosmo: “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 2 of Batwoman based on multiple complaints about workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned.”

Ruby hasn’t said anything yet about this response, but if she does, we’ll keep you posted.
