Not to mention she wasn't Jewish. Plenty of non-jewish people have played Jewish roles before, such as Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List or Adrien Brody in The Pianist. Why is it such an issue now?
@@duncanwade1026 And there are plenty of Jewish actors who played non-Jewish characters. (i.e. Cpt. Kirk is canonically not Jewish, and Spock was DEFINITELY not Jewish.) It's just not that much a problem when you can't point at someone and be like "yeah, that guy ain't not Jew." No can really tell apart from like straight up Hassidic folk with the suits and everything, so it isn't a big problem for suspension of disbelief. Especially when they all have their menorah-shaped pubes and Star of David tattoos concealed by costumes at all times which they're legally required to have otherwise they're disowned by the Ghost of King David. It's a whinging of self-indulgent, infantile moralism on the part of people who never got past the high school phase of perceiving the world around them. They want "representation" whereas we just want people who can reasonably play roles in order to suspend disbelief in support of a good story. A Tutsi African dude could easily pass for another African ethnicity, but were one to suddenly replace him with an Asian dude for no reason, the audience is going to be like "wait, what?"
it would certainly be good to see since the show sucks so much that the production failing so hard would be better and show how bieng woke is more fucked than idk actually making a comicbook story come to life?
Every time someone says “Ruby Rose” I forget that there is a real person with that name and just blankly stare while thinking how RWBY could be relevant
That whole nonsense with Ruby's character coming back with a different actor who had "plastic surgery" within the show to explain the appearance change is literally what the animated Disney movie Bolt does at the end in the parody show within the movie. The fact that a real show did the exact same thing with no sense of self-awareness baffles me.
I mean replacing an actor is always hard and no one really does it perfectly. You either give some weak excuse right out of a Daytime soap Opera or you ignore it entirely and just act like nothing changed, aka Bewitched. That said I thought the silliest part was the brought Kate Kane back just to do nearly nothing with her. Same with the Bruce Wayne body double. All that build up so to speak and they had almost no impact on anything.
"A crew member got 3rd degree burns over his whole body, and we were given no therapy after witnessing his skin fall of his face." That's bad enough when you're defending your homeland, building a power plant or whatever, but suffering such injuries because of Batwoman is just rubbing salt into the wounds.
I mean, bad enough to get paralyzed by a random accident on your way to work. But from making a hot mess garbage tv show? What a horrible reminder. Does anyone know if the paralyzed assistant has a gofundme?
imagine getting paralysed for life, looking back at your life 10 years later when your grand children comes to you ask "what happened to you?" and then have to answer "I was severy injured in a scene during the prodution of batwoman"
@@temmison1171 The story about the production assistant to be true, alot of news sites reported something like that happening in early 2020 during the Batwoman shoots. And Ruby Rose herself got hurt during a stunt. So those events happening are true.
@@pyorre2441 Interesting, do you have any sort of link or article headlines of this? I searched it up, and all I could find was allegations of Ruby Rose saying it herself.

I've actually worked as a camera operator on a production with Dougray Scott and from my own personal experience, he's a very likeable professional man. He interacts with the crew very well, is happy to do numerous run-throughs (because mistakes happen), works with the guys on a technical level for visuals and rework scenes if need be. He also has the ability to offer insight and suggest technical elements from experience. He would actually make a very good producer. So IMHO my suspicion is that it is more likely that Ruby Rose is the problem. Update: One thing I forgot to mention, he made a point of going round and speaking to us all individually, just to spend a minute or so with us (including the runners & assistants), because he knows this business is about relationships.
If so, tell her to be Batwoman for us in the arrowverse show season 3 and/or 4. Whether it does or doesn't happen, she deserves to be a well portrayed batwoman (from the start) in the Matt Reeves bat trilogy as Batman's first or second partner.
I can confirm with you. Dougray Scott was nothing but professional and Ruby was the issue, she's twisting the story to save her own ass (worked on Batwoman for the first half of the show here in Vancouver)
@@helloimyellow007 the way I see it. Neither Dougray nor Ruby were the issue. It was Caroline's fault that the story of the show is stupid and unbearable and unsafe for the actors
Show has 84% rating with “critics” while a 23% with audiences. Sounds like it’s getting a 4th season. It’s amazing how much crap like this gets renewed. Its even more amazing how many people actually defend this show.
@@twistedtrailerparktales2126 I'm not even interested with the new phase of Marvel after Falcon and Winter Soldier letdown. Haven't seen Loki, Ten Rings, Black Widow and have zero interest in Eternals
Imagine you're Dougray Scott. You've just been accused of serious things by a woman who's toxicity turned an entire cast and crew against her, all because your producers fired her. Like, why would she target him? He didn't fire her, he had no control over that. Ruby deserves all the shit that she gets.
Why can't they BOTH be correct? Maybe there was plenty of diva to go around. It's not like the show picked up after she left and everyone sang songs together.
I still can't get over the fact that Batwoman has been running for 3 seasons, with a viewership under 0.5 million viewers per episodes and a 0.1 score in the 18 to 49 demographic... while another Arrowverse show (Constantine) got cancelled for "low ratings" with over 3 million viewers per episodes and a solid 1.0 score in the 18 to 49 demo. ... Sure, we will soon get a "rebooted" Constantine show on HBO max... but JJ Abrams got his slimy hands on it and announced a "diverse" Constantine and I am preemptively horrified. [EDIT: Hell, I just saw that Constantine had almost 4X the views of Doctor Who - Season 12 and it still got cancelled...]
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Here's the thing: Actual, organic diversity of the pre-woke era doesn't count as "real diversity" to the wokies, because it doesn't fit the narrative and agenda.
What gets renewed and what gets canceled never makes sense. A solid show with a good fallowing will get canceled while a show no one watches will continue to go on and on.

My personal theory: Working behind the scenes on the show WAS a hellish experience, and Ruby Rose WAS a spoiled, demanding diva. When that much egotism and belligerence from both sides gets together, the end results are never pretty. As for Dougray Scott, he probably DID want out of his contract ASAP due to the low quality of the show, its abysmal ratings, and what a thankless role he played on it, and probably was a little grumpy for a while when he was denied a way out until the end of Season 2. Ruby Rose, then, having pretty much no prospects afterwards, brought up all this crap, leaving out her own nastiness and embellishing the studio heads' douchebaggery somewhat, for publicity. She then decided that in order for her claims to draw more attention, that she needed to take a page out of Amber Heard's toxic playbook and exploit the MeToo movement by throwing in an accusation of abuse against the most high- profile male member of the show's cast. Dougray Scott (The only person closely associated with the show who had really significant name- recognition) was the perfect target for her in that regard, so she heavily embellished how he acted after he was unable to get out of his contract. Problem is, Scott has moved on from the show and is currently trying to rebuild his career with more sophisticated fare (He is now back in his native Scotland shooting a British TV/ streaming adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel 'Crime,' in which he'll be playing the lead), and so he won't take her slandering him to boost her own career sitting down, and so he's taking her bony butt to court over it.
@@josephnewsome2935 That ties into what I said right away that working on the show likely WAS a hellish experience, I'd imagine Ruby Rose wasn't completely lying about that. Caroline Dries and the other higher- ups involved in the show's production likely cared a lot more about the show's production staying on schedule than about the safety of their employees.
Kinda makes sense, i remember her being propped up as the emissary for lesbian actresses when Batwoman was being announced via controversy and the usual debauchery and now her career doesn't seem to go anywere, which is weird, because i remember her in the megalodon movie and she was alright. Outside of that, it seems the showrunner is at fault, as the de facto director they have the obligation to make sure things go smoothly, including dealing with egoes
The most logical and rational theory here - however that ''bony ass'' part was petty and redundant. I mean, when criticizing someone shouldn't we focus on their behaviour and not on their bodies and looks??? Otherwise, it ruins your eloquent reasonable comment and makes it less objective/smart.
I worked on the first season of Batwoman, and was actually present for a few of the events you mentioned. The assistant who had a crane lowered onto her head was actually hanging out where she shouldn't have been and was playing on her phone, not paying attention. It was largely her fault. But anyway, the show is terrible (and that's why I left after the first season), but there are a handful of great people on the crew who know it's shit but just want the paycheck. I was one of them. I can confirm that Ruby was rude to a lot of the people on set, though I never experienced that directly. Either way, I'm partial to the idea that the allegations against her are true.
wow, it's so cool to have an actual witness who worked on set! btw if you don't mind could you tell me how you get in to this line of work? it's my dream to works in this industry but i don't know how to get started
I just want to say "the check cleared" is a respectable form of career management in Hollywood. Michael Caine can have much of his explained that way, for one.
@@alexmercer9649 for sure man, it's no problem at all. Like a lot of careers it all boils down to connections and who you know. If you know someone in the industry and they vouch for you when shows are crewing up, you can jump right in. If you don't know anyone, I'd recommend film school. That's the route I took, and while the education itself was largely useless the connections I made during my time there are what allowed me to find work upon graduation. You've got to be hungry and chase after those leads though, I'd say upwards of half of the people I went to school with didn't end up in the industry. That being said it's a ton of fun working on shows and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
@@Vyrnost thanks man! I have asked around and pretty much everyone said the same thing you did so basically Is the same for every country.

@Elizabeth Bennett I was simply referring to the fact that I was one of the people on the crew who didn't like the show but wanted the paycheck. The "great people" are those I worked with who don't deserve any flak just because the show isn't popular. I can see how you could've misconstrued my wording and drawn your conclusions with a bit of mental gymnastics on your part, but to infer that I'm a narcissist and accuse me of that as a stranger on the internet is pretty wild. May wanna rethink YOUR words because you come across as having the mind of a child.
Before Batwoman, Az was known as Chaz. That show is so bad it took his "Ch" along with half of his soul and most of his hair. Az is the Gollum to Chaz's Smeagol.
Just from my own experience, I've been around Dougray before, several times. He was nothing but kind, cool and polite. He's also a good dad, I've seen these things first hand. Never worked with RR, so I can't speak to her.
Almost NOBODY has worked with RR because, as we keep trying to tell you all, she is NOT AN ACTOR. Australians were like 'hahah oh wait, ur serious? the underwear model and 'DJ' who dates C-grade australian celebrities? Batwoman? No no no no no...." Americans seriously have a hard time telling when Australians can't act. The Hemsworth boys learned on the job, but they were soap actors at BEST before you guys decided they should be in movies. Joel Edgerton is the worst; so incredibly untalented it's like a long-running prank we're pulling on America. Heath Ledger surprised even us, though. Hollywood been trying to copy that story ever since. The rule now seems to be, if you're bad at acting with your natural Australian accent, go to Hollywood, where you can be a star. (But only if you're a genuinely nice person like Chris Hemsworth and not, say, Ruby Rose.)
@@GlennDavey tbf Chris Hemsworth has done well as Thor his brother however yeah he’s not been so good and yeah Heath Ledger surprised everyone as the joker (even tho knights tale existed but even that was a comedy) it was one of the best performances of all time and he was lost too soon.
@@GlennDavey *"as we keep trying to tell you all, she is NOT AN ACTOR."* Honest question: Why does it seem like everyone calls women 'actors' now, and not 'actresses'?
@@FNA27601 I can't imagine why you think his Joker performance was great. It was entirely by-the-book and uninspired. I have _no_ bias against Ledger. _A Knight's Tale_ is a good movie. I like _The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus._ But people are entirely blinded by bias when it comes to Ledger's Joker, simply because he died shortly afterward. One simply can not understand much about acting and think that there is anything special about Ledger's Joker portrayal. It's actually somewhat cringey at times for -- again -- how generic his interpretation of "crazy" is.
Nerdrotic put it best: "I believe both and am rooting for neither" Hey, he's an idea for a show: it's about the making of a really REALLY bad super hero program and the drama behind the scenes! Since the drama behind Batwoman is far more entertaining than the show itself...
I agree with the Critical Drinker. The problem lies somewhere in the middle. It's a more diplomatic way of saying that (mostly) everyone somehow contributed to this shite fest. Though I strongly believe the studio should take most of the blame...
I can actually beleave both sides honestly. I can beleave Ruby Rose saying that the enviroment was unproffesional and hostile, that people in charge yelled at everyone for everything, that the stunt and sfx crew were careless and that the producers threated her to return in less than 10 days, but i can also beleave CWs side here, because Ruby Rose was a diversity hire, she was hired not based on her skills, but her sexuality, also if you worked in such enviroment, soon or late you would also become part of the problem with how toxic and dangerous it is. There is no way that a show where the main character quitted after the first season, where she got an injury that almost paralyzed her and where the moral compass of everyone is based on their sexuality has 3 seasons and is ongoing whitow some kind of shady issue.
@@LordofSadFac the productions was probably hell, but I am willing to bet Rudy contributed a lot to that as past coworkers have complained about her being lazy and rude to many on set.
I did a day call which turned into about a week doing lighting on Batwoman when I lived in Vancouver. Didn't want to be on it as I'd heard some of the rumours but yes, I can vouch for that production assistant. On one night shoot which started around 6:30pm at the Vancouver train station there was just one short stunt scene where Batwoman was meant to slide off a bike, have a short dialog and then dissappear. This was a 2nd team shoot so it should have been short shift (anything less than 12 hours is short, 15s would be standard at times). Everything was set up ready to start shooting yet Ruby sat in her chauffeured car for around 2 hours right next to set, for no reason, despite being called multiple times. We all had to stand around in the freezing weather, ice, snow and wind. It ended up being a 19 hour shift in the end. She had a stunt double and body double so she was only needed for the facial shots. Another day we had only a couple of hours to do a last minute full on lighting for Vancouver city hall with no warning and limited equipment as again it was a 2nd team shoot. It was a crappy production as a whole but that's the ugly nature of the film industry up in 'North Hollywood' as they call it. Ridiculous hours, low energy because of lack of sleep and no original ideas for the crews to even get slightly energized by. The safety standards there are extremely lacking too despite them putting millions into the ridiculous covid protocols and it is true about the production assistant that got severely injured. That made the DGC and IATSE union really start to make a bit more of a stand about conditions. The pay may have been good but I cherish my time more than money nowadays. And thank christ I was only a day call. Its embarrassing to have put even some of my time into it.
I think this production hell tops all others I'm aware of. With Rose's recent claims on what happened behind the scenes, it's even more incredible that this has been renewed. I think the lesson here is that if a show gets out THE MESSAGE, it's all worth it, no matter how much virtue-signalling BS, crew and actor abuse, and damage it causes in the process.
But that's the problem isn't it? It's not actually getting THE MESSAGE out to anyone particular who isn't already on board with it. It's money wasting echo chamber.
Worst production hell I am aware of is the old Wizard of Oz. Toxic make up, body suites the actors couldn't take off during the 12 hours or so of filming causing them to over heat, unsafe pyrotechnics and of course characters getting replaced if they are injured on set to keep the production going. It was made in something like the 1930's I think, sad to see nearly a hundred years later with workers Unions and the like nothing has really changed in hollywood when it comes to worker rights and safety.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming Dont forget that the snow in the poppy field was made of asbestos, and that the actress for Dorothy had to be constantly drugged in order to get through the absurd filming schedule. If im not mistaken, she was only allowed or able to get about 4 hours of sleep every 3 days or something.
OK I googled lesbian actress of Jewish descent and I came up with the perfect candidate to take over the role of Batwoman. Miriam Margolyes appears to be the only woman I could find that meets that criteria. She is 80 years old but we can't allow ourselves to be ageist.
For a production made up of such tolerant, loving, open minded and inclusive people, it all really just seems to be made up of hateful, spiteful dregs they like to think they are against.
That’s actually a photo of Az from the future, after he, the Drinker, Mauler, and Gary B have been fused into the superbeing needed to fight the Amazon Muskbots.
The "entertainment" industry managers do not hire the best talent these days. They hire relatives, their F&ск toys, buddies, and children of the "people important for business". Anyone and anything bur the best or even average talent. So, this is what we get in the outcome: garbage productions, bad attitude to criticism, endless filming set disasters, internal conflicts that become too evident in the productions themselves, etc. Thank you for this insightful review!
I've never watched a single episode of this show, and yet I've had so much entertainment from it indirectly. So there's a positive in its favour, probably the only one by the sounds of it 😂 Thanks Drinker.
I managed to suffer through 3 episodes. They were progressively worse each time. (and i always give a show anywhere between 3-5 episodes. Sometimes they can have a rough start and then nail it later.) I couldnt even make 4 here. Awful awful shit
I think its somewhere in the middle. Everyone was miserable, and now that Ruby has thrown the first punch the studio is circling the wagons and throwing out their own accusations. Also, spiteful women tend to remember mildly confrontational events as huge blow ups when it suits their drama seeking.
Yeah, but then again spiteful companies tend to do the same thing to employees that open them up to huge lawsuits. Don't assume that there is necessarily any truth whatsoever to what CW says about Rose. They are a desperate corporation with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
Even assuming Scott got pissed that he was stuck in this purgatory of a production, I'd rather buy that he was a dick to _everyone_ . Claiming he turned into a giant misogynistic asshole sounds a bit far out there, and could be an attempt of Ruby's to cancel him out of spite.
My best guess is they are all entitled, narcissistic unhinged scum so I'm sure nothing is made up. Everyone is equally awful to each other all the time.
Well, just before the Covid, the CW announced that they were going to remake a "Dark Shadows" series. Being a big fan of the original and the 90's remake, I thought great. When CW cancelled it, was disappointed. But now I am glad they are not ruining Dark Shadows as well.
I was like, "Oh hey, a series about Batwoman. Can't imagine it'll be any worse than Flash, Arrow, etc. Might as well watch..." then I heard the boy say, "The Batsuit is utter perfection," then I heard her say, "It will be... when it fits a woman." Then I was like, "Nope. Not only is she too stupid to design her own, she disrespects the legacy of Batman, then is going to steal his stuff, then claim it as her own. Just like any other Feminist Activist Kleptomaniac. Not watching this shit." I nearly puked in my mouth a little hearing that. Imagine if someone looked at Catwoman, and said, "I like your image... your symbol. However, I think it'll be better... if you weren't a woman." I want to remind you, the girl didn't even say, "When it fits me." She said, "When it fits a woman." She was saying, "When Batman becomes Batwoman, only then will it be acceptable to us."
That's exactly it. With one line in the trailer they managed to insult their whole fanbase and made their new hero look stupid :D And I'm sure they weren't even aware!
A few episodes later, the tabloids start assuming she’s heterosexual, so she decides to come out as gay. Because if you have a secret identity, you want to make sure supervillains get left little clues in order to be able to track you down, right?
"3rd Degree Burns over his entire body..." No. That is fatal. Either Rose simply does not know what 3rd Degree Burns are and she is lying out of ignorance, or she is lying, or there was an actual death on set that no one is admitting to.
@@braindavidgilbert3147 3rds are charred flesh/beyond superficial heavy burns. they are certainly lethal, but also survivable depending on circumstances. If this poor crew fella was covered in 3rds he could certainly survive but permanently messed up.
*"3rd Degree Burns over his entire body..."* Maybe it's like "There are people all over the world", which doesn't mean that the world is literally coated in a layer of people. In other words, an exaggeration of the sort: "100% of his body was 10% burned.".

Ruby Rose has a history of being difficult on sets. There's probably blame to go around on all sides but I certainly don't blatantly take her side on this one.
Weirdly there's no meantion of this difficulty to work with anywhere on the internet outside of Batwoman. Even an article about why people dislike her there's nothing about her being difficult to work with. Do you have any examples because I'm drawing a blank?
@@TheAnomaly00 having just recovered from an injury that could've made you paraplegic for life and being forced to go back to filming a shitty CWC DC show would certainly make anybody pissed off beyond belief
Call me biased, but when it comes to diva-like behavior, demands, big-headedness and overall shitty behavior, at least in my opinion suits more to a diversity hire than to an experienced, well versed, respected actor. Could very well be that Ruby is confessing through projection and uses straight huwite male as a scapegoat in the process. I bet she really read deep into her contract after that injury and wanted out but couldn't so she upped the diva act hoping the studio will breach the contract or worse yet: tries to fire the diversity hire.
0.47M people watched the season 3 opening. Constantine was cancelled mid-season at 3.3M viewership. Constantine throughout the short season 1 for the most part had 10x the audience of the Batwoman. Let that sink in.

"...and starring a motley collection of has-beens and never-will-bes." Damn, that feels like it especially hits hard for Dougray Scott. Dude was almost Wolverine in the 2000s X-Men movies but had to back out due to his Mission Impossible 2 role. He maybe could have had Hugh Jackman's career!
Dougray Scott was also nearly cast as James Bond. It was down to him and Craig and they picked Craig. The guy who only did the last one for the money literally, and whom "hates bond." So yeah, that's loosing out on 2 major high profile roles only to end up as a villain in several hit films with mixed reception...and treated like one in batwoman because awful writers.
@@reprobatemind6194 Which is why Hugh Jackman‘s performance was superior. Wolverine like his animal name sake it’s not a big imposing person, but vicious as hell. There’s no way a skinny developed guy could’ve played that role
I think everyone could tell that Dougray Scott wasn’t happy, that much is obvious from his amazing performance that still managed to be the best part of the show. Can’t say I blame him though, from what we’ve heard and seen the show was an absolute nightmare. Won’t say anything about those accusations towards him, so far it just looks like a he said she said type of thing. I’ll make up my mind when I see enough evidence although I do think it’s much more likely Ruby Rose was the actual problem
The "steamed pants" thing can really only be one of two things: Dougray Scott was so drunk he was using it as innuendo, or she's lifting reality into her own fantasy. The latter being all too possible because they do this on set/for clothing/etc. It's just not well-known so it might give her more to say but if that's all there is, him being drunk is about all there is, cause there's no way he wasn't.
@@oneandonlysound3453 A fellow soldier actually ironed the creases in his pants while he was wearing them right before we went to uniform inspection. I was sure he would burn himself but he didn't.
Pffff - it's still a Batman by-product of the lowest order (like, Batman with a vagina). Birds of Prey (the graphic novel, not the movie) at least had original heroines...
Given Ruby's personality, and how she acts in every movie she's in, AKA playing herself, I'm more inclined to believe the studios recollection of events than hers. She's definitely the type that claims looking at a woman without permission is abuse/assault.
Getting yelled at for not knowing her lines, constantly showing up late because she was partying and getting high, and treating people on set like trash IS ABUSIVE!!! I can't believe she tolerated it. LOL
These people can't even tell themselves the truth about what gender they are. You think they interface with the external world with any kind of perspective or reason?
@@UnitSe7en TBH. The current industry rewards people who have as many victim points as possible. The biggest reason she was hired was because she likes girls. Even though she bangs lots of high profile men, she was probably told to keep that shit under wraps for publicity sake.
There was a rumor about Rose’s injuries at some point : Allegedly, she would actually have gotten it while filming a movie who didn’t have proper insurance and then decided to put it on Batwoman production to get on their insurance.
@@andreivaldez2929 She immediately categorises people into "matter" and "don't matter", and then conducts herself accordingly. If you don't matter, she treats you like you're utter scum. Like you don't exist. As it turns out, I mattered in her assessment in the context in which we met, so I didn't receive this treatment - but everyone else did. Everyone. I found it almost breathtaking that anyone could be so rude. Don't get me wrong, in the entertainment industry, you expect to deal with divas...and it's a dog-eat-dog industry, so I take it all with a grain of salt. But it's not that she was simply aggressive in a tough industry - she knows how to kiss the right asses and turn on the charm when there's something in it for her. It's that she ONLY EVER PUNCHES DOWN. Assistants, receptionists, customer service staff, baristas...anyone who she deems is of no benefit to her receives scathing, palpable contempt. The worst part of it is, whilst she is borderline sociopathic towards others, she perpetually claims to be a victim. She bleats incessantly about her depression and anxiety and self harm and plays the victim card first time, every time. She claims to be a spokesperson for mental illness and a champion of the oppressed...yet I've seen her leave customer service staff virtually in tears with how horrendously rude she is. I don't know how much people know about her pre-Hollywood, but she's Australian and was kicking around Sydney and Melbourne for years before she got placed in film. She as a reputation in particularly Sydney as being one to avoid. I know several people that saw her on a regular basis in a service provider context that ended up refusing to see her because she treated them so poorly. It's tragic that young girls look up to her as a role model. She's poison, and if people knew the misery she inflicts on those around her, they'd think differently.
I am wholeheartedly impressed that you could endure this show. Mad respects. People don't realize how drunk you have to be to not simply go under. You feel like a pastor, ex-altar boy, with PTSD issues, passing on the misery you suffered to the next altar boy, along with the sight of the bottoms of two liquor bottles fresh in memory. That's how you feel after watching this show.
Even without the many members of the production stepping forward saying that Ruby was the issue, just based on her history its clear she has a real bad attitude problem. From the production crew of OITNB saying she wanted out and didn't gel with anyone to harassing her ex-girlfriend for over 4 months. She really doesn't seem like a very nice person to be around.
There was also an incident where she was socialising in a bar, ordered champagne worth $4k iirc, and skipped out, leaving her buddies to pick up the tab
Guilty or innocent, the defamation suit is Scott's best move here. The damage done by #MeToo on our culture has left "scorched earth" aggressive legal defenses the only viable path for protecting a man's reputation from allegations like these. Even if the suit fails or is dismissed, people will take his denial more seriously because of it.
What may give Scott more credibility in the end is the fact that this information came out of left field. Other than the statement he released sucking off his handlers I imagine the suit came out of his own actions. If Ruby Rose wants to throw out allegations prove it in court. Like...you're supposed to do.
Two things can be true at once, the production could be a complete disaster and both Scott and Rose could both be massive tools on set. I doubt Scott is actually physically abusive but he probably just didn’t give a fook and let everyone know. Rose probably has a lot of resentment buildup after her injury. I can easily see where they both have reasons to be pissed off but I tend to give Scott some more leniency and benefit of the doubt because he’s worked on some big budget projects before and he’s the most competent actor there.
Nah, if Scott physically hurt somebody it would have got out long ago. What was stopping Ruby leaking the info through an anonymous tip off if she was so aggrieved.
If Dougray Scott were guilty as Ruby Rose claims then he probably would have done what most guilty people do and issued an apology statement, then kept quiet in the hope that the story went away. Threatening to sue brings more attention to him which he probably wouldn't want if he were guilty. Or perhaps he's just really arrogant? Who knows?
We do know people were injured on set, including Ruby Rose herself, so since her most shocking allegations concern those injuries that would seem to contradict Scott Dougray's denials and the whole idea that the production was one happy family EXCEPT for Ruby Rose. I lean more towards Ruby. Believe all wimmins, right?
@@SolidGoldCEO You can be massive asshole without ever facing repercussions on a poorly led, stress infused, low budget action series. The statement says he hurt a stunt double, just slap a bit too hard in that one take and dismiss the complaints of the actor afterwards. It's that easy. Fuck, slap/hit/strangle that stunt double and then ruin the shot so you get to do it again.
Considering how Scott and the assistant are against Rose and not the studio I think it's safe to say the one causing the problems is probably Rose. We also haven't heard about any other accidents from anyone else which leaks would likely happen if the cast and crew were so unhappy. It's all claims coming from Rose who at this point doesn't seem to be a reliable source. Her story seems to have holes and contradictions which often means the person is leaving out details and not being truthful.
I just wonder how in the 80s and 90s when Jackie Chan and Sly Stallone still at peak they actually do their own stunt and having massive injury without anyone complaining, woke
Ok well I heard Dougray Scott was actually abusive to Ruby Rose afterall. From what I heard she arrived on set and he actually said "Good Morning" to her. Seriously! Can you imagine the temerity of it? That bastage! Talk about the epitome of toxic masculinity! First he's mansplaining to her, telling her what time of day it is. Then, even worse, he's telling her how she's supposed to feel about what time of day it is! Can you even imagine? Can someone explain why he isn't in a reeducation camp somewhere? 😂
@@RuslanLagashkin It's a job that pays. They are actors, most of them don't care what they do, but care how much they get. Can't blame them. As Scott has been around the block awhile, you get the "awhile" tag unless you are reliable enough to not cause issues, either being a moron on set, or not knowing your lines. That's usually the stars with name recognition. Whatever issues they have is outwayed by the money and eyeballs they supposedly bring.
@@dlewis9760 which does actually raise an interesting question about Dougray. He was considered leading man material for major motion pictures at one point. Which makes me wonder if maybe his behavior on other sets in the past might have lead to him to the point that Batwoman was the best gig he could get. No idea if that might be true or not and it's not like you'll ever get a straight answer out of the folks that work in Hollywood. I don't have much doubt that Rose probably is a full on diva. Just gut impression of course but it wouldn't surprise me a bit. Most of what I've read from things she's posted prior to this incident seem to indicate a very strong sense of entitlement
I side with Dougray. Dude’s been steadily working since “Ever After” with Drew Barrymore and Mission Impossible 2 with Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton over 20 years ago, and even Married to Claire Forlani since 2007 and I’ve never heard a word of drama with regards to him. She’s done…what? This one show and trashed everyone on it the second she could? I’ve never even watched a single second of because it looked like a trainwreck and though I’m gay? I don’t care to watch “les” on screen. Just not my thing.
The thing that seems really fishy is Ruby claims it was a terrible place to work, but a couple months ago she said she would come back if they wanted her. Who does that? That makes me think she was the catalyst for most of the bad blood.
@@luciferthedoberman8991 Probably needs the money, it's not like she's exactly crawling under offers nor is she that popular. And she wants to be on the good side of history concerning those internal affairs, clearly she's not benefiting of those circumstances but would come back under different management.
@@louisduarte8763 Thank you! It was indeed. The fact that she couldn't talk removed the questionable range of her voice from bland to slightly less bland with varying nuances of angry and irritated.
The lift incident happened when the person assigned to monitor the base and keep people aware of it's movements decided to sit UNDER THE ARM of the lift and poke at her phone. It didn't collapse . The SFX guy was on his own truck, cutting some metal. A 30 year veteran. He forgot to seal a jar of black powder and a spark ignited it . Both tragedies,and I wish them well, but not indicative of an unsafe production Rose's account is all out of whack
“Production Hell”? The true Hell is for the viewers who chose to watch the end result! I can laugh, because I’ve never watched it, never had a desire to watch it, and never will watch it!! Thank you, Drinker, for saving me from accidentally watching a single episode!!
8:24 - This video is succinctly summed up in ONE SENTENCE: "Out of the hills to die on in this world, Batwoman has got to be the most undeserving mound of shit that I could imagine" 🤣 Well said Drinker!!
Seriously. The most unbelievable part of Rose's story is that the network was worried about losing millions by not being able to produce more episodes. They could have thrown up a test pattern on the screen during that time slot and gotten the same ratings.
The fact that Dougray Scott is threatening to sue rather than releasing an "I'm so sorry if I offended anyone" statement probably means he's telling the truth. Most people who are guilty issue a quiet apology, then keep a low profile in the hope that the story goes away. Threatening to sue brings more attention to the situation which most guilty people certainly wouldn't want. Personally I think Dougray Scott has had enough of Rose and her BS, just like everyone else on the show. And i find it highly amusing that the wokiest of wokey woke TV shows has eaten one of their own lol.
Either he's telling the truth about not abusing women on set, or he's an idiot. Likely the first, but then again actors aren't always the smartest people around. There would be women to either confirm or deny those allegations of abuse on-set, as well as dozens of witnesses if abuse occurred.
Same. Also I'm less inclined to believe a word Ruby Rose says largely because of the MeToo movement. We live in a world where women make up all kinds of bullshit to excuse their own shortcomings; I myself have personal experience with this. I have a "sister" (and I use that term as loosely as possibly) who is just like Ruby Rose. A stuck, self-centered, spoiled little drama queen who has belittled and bullied her co-workers at every job she's ever had while being a lazy sack of shit who can't be arsed to do anything, only to quit in a fit of rage and play the victim card so my parents wouldn't think she was a complete loser. Suffice to say, it hasn't worked, and she's living on the streets now. She just got kicked out of a homeless shelter a few days ago.
More the other way around to me. If someone's suing for being called a peace of crap, they're usually an even bigger piece of crap. If they're not, they just say they're not the piece of crap and let their reputation speak for themselves.
I'm also inclined to not believe Rose because the guy who plays Luke Fox (a.k.a. Batwing) also chimed in to say how much she made working on the show suck.
Today's entertainment prioritizes sending messages towards audience mostly of them fails miserably and disappoints the audience instead of actually entertaining the Audience themselves.
I don't believe what they say about Scott. Everyone LOVED that guy on Hemlock Grove. They loved working with him, especially the actress that played his niece. Ruby Rose thinks she is better than she really is.
So true. Even if anything she's saying about him is true, the "steamed pants" thing is a poor place to start. It shows she thinks nobody will point out who know inside stuff that they will steam clothes right on someone to make it look better on screen. Now if he was super-drunk the entire time, that'd I'd believe, you'd have to be to have kept on long as he did-and he left the moment he was not contracted to appear in anymore episodes too lol.
1:16 - the most hilarious, most chinless, most muscle-free, most eyeliner thing I have ever seen. If they wanted to do Batwoman, why didn't they hire Gina Carano? If you want a physical Batwoman, then Gina was IT! You could accept her doing fights where she could actually win, instead of a 40-kilo stick insect who would get snapped in half by any man with functioning arms.
She would have been too busy filming for the Mandalorian. Can't see anyone choosing to do a CW show over a Star Wars one. Of course now she's got plenty of time on her hands.
There are literally tens of thousands of capable female fighters from different combat sports, who can beat almost any man on the face of the Earth (exception being top male combat or strength athletes, or genetic freaks). Why not hire one of them? Or WWE chicks would be pretty believable as strong female character.
7:23 and this is why I come here. Because your perspective of the media content topic o' d' day is 100x more entertaining than actually watching many of these shows, so I get the gist of the trainwreck without having to sit a chair down beside the actual track ^_^' Thanks for all the content over the years, your efforts have brought ya a long way. Pat yourself on the back and pour yourself a drink, fwiw I know you've earned it here ~a random canadian dude in his 40s
Also apparently a makeup artist was hospitalised as well, how the hell did that happen? Stunt doubles is understandable because that is a risky job but makeup artists?....how?
CW: "I need an idea for a show"? Third Wave Feminism: "Insult men and put the female lead in danger". CW: "This will be perfect when we are in court with the woman star of our own show BatWahman". 💯
With how woke Ruby Rose is, I am very much convinced that she made up all of the accusations against Scott for the purpose of redirecting her own toxicity
@@BungZero Same, I just re-watched this video and it's painfully obvious (knowing Ruby Rose's own personality/history from the last ten plus years) that she chose the most well known and prolific actor on the show, when there's barely any other recurring male characters. She couldn't choose the black guy of course, and the rest were smaller time supporting b listers. And of COURSE she has nothing to say about the dozens of actresses around her at all times. They were definitely all perfect. It was just the man that was the problem 🙄🙄🙄

The idea of an actor not being "gay enough" for a character is very funny to me. It's the idea that someone was payed to write that.
Not to mention she wasn't Jewish. Plenty of non-jewish people have played Jewish roles before, such as Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List or Adrien Brody in The Pianist. Why is it such an issue now?
@@duncanwade1026 it's almost like they forgot what acting is.

@@duncanwade1026 And there are plenty of Jewish actors who played non-Jewish characters. (i.e. Cpt. Kirk is canonically not Jewish, and Spock was DEFINITELY not Jewish.) It's just not that much a problem when you can't point at someone and be like "yeah, that guy ain't not Jew." No can really tell apart from like straight up Hassidic folk with the suits and everything, so it isn't a big problem for suspension of disbelief. Especially when they all have their menorah-shaped pubes and Star of David tattoos concealed by costumes at all times which they're legally required to have otherwise they're disowned by the Ghost of King David.
It's a whinging of self-indulgent, infantile moralism on the part of people who never got past the high school phase of perceiving the world around them. They want "representation" whereas we just want people who can reasonably play roles in order to suspend disbelief in support of a good story. A Tutsi African dude could easily pass for another African ethnicity, but were one to suddenly replace him with an Asian dude for no reason, the audience is going to be like "wait, what?"

That whole nonsense with Ruby's character coming back with a different actor who had "plastic surgery" within the show to explain the appearance change is literally what the animated Disney movie Bolt does at the end in the parody show within the movie. The fact that a real show did the exact same thing with no sense of self-awareness baffles me.

I've actually worked as a camera operator on a production with Dougray Scott and from my own personal experience, he's a very likeable professional man. He interacts with the crew very well, is happy to do numerous run-throughs (because mistakes happen), works with the guys on a technical level for visuals and rework scenes if need be. He also has the ability to offer insight and suggest technical elements from experience. He would actually make a very good producer.
So IMHO my suspicion is that it is more likely that Ruby Rose is the problem.
Update: One thing I forgot to mention, he made a point of going round and speaking to us all individually, just to spend a minute or so with us (including the runners & assistants), because he knows this business is about relationships.
Did you ever get to know Wallis Day?
If so, tell her to be Batwoman for us in the arrowverse show season 3 and/or 4. Whether it does or doesn't happen, she deserves to be a well portrayed batwoman (from the start) in the Matt Reeves bat trilogy as Batman's first or second partner.

My personal theory:
Working behind the scenes on the show WAS a hellish experience, and Ruby Rose WAS a spoiled, demanding diva. When that much egotism and belligerence from both sides gets together, the end results are never pretty. As for Dougray Scott, he probably DID want out of his contract ASAP due to the low quality of the show, its abysmal ratings, and what a thankless role he played on it, and probably was a little grumpy for a while when he was denied a way out until the end of Season 2.
Ruby Rose, then, having pretty much no prospects afterwards, brought up all this crap, leaving out her own nastiness and embellishing the studio heads' douchebaggery somewhat, for publicity. She then decided that in order for her claims to draw more attention, that she needed to take a page out of Amber Heard's toxic playbook and exploit the MeToo movement by throwing in an accusation of abuse against the most high- profile male member of the show's cast. Dougray Scott (The only person closely associated with the show who had really significant name- recognition) was the perfect target for her in that regard, so she heavily embellished how he acted after he was unable to get out of his contract. Problem is, Scott has moved on from the show and is currently trying to rebuild his career with more sophisticated fare (He is now back in his native Scotland shooting a British TV/ streaming adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel 'Crime,' in which he'll be playing the lead), and so he won't take her slandering him to boost her own career sitting down, and so he's taking her bony butt to court over it.
Know Hbomberguy, adam?
How do you explain the things that happened to the crew members
@@josephnewsome2935 That ties into what I said right away that working on the show likely WAS a hellish experience, I'd imagine Ruby Rose wasn't completely lying about that. Caroline Dries and the other higher- ups involved in the show's production likely cared a lot more about the show's production staying on schedule than about the safety of their employees.
Kinda makes sense, i remember her being propped up as the emissary for lesbian actresses when Batwoman was being announced via controversy and the usual debauchery and now her career doesn't seem to go anywere, which is weird, because i remember her in the megalodon movie and she was alright.
Outside of that, it seems the showrunner is at fault, as the de facto director they have the obligation to make sure things go smoothly, including dealing with egoes
The most logical and rational theory here - however that ''bony ass'' part was petty and redundant. I mean, when criticizing someone shouldn't we focus on their behaviour and not on their bodies and looks??? Otherwise, it ruins your eloquent reasonable comment and makes it less objective/smart.
I worked on the first season of Batwoman, and was actually present for a few of the events you mentioned. The assistant who had a crane lowered onto her head was actually hanging out where she shouldn't have been and was playing on her phone, not paying attention. It was largely her fault. But anyway, the show is terrible (and that's why I left after the first season), but there are a handful of great people on the crew who know it's shit but just want the paycheck. I was one of them. I can confirm that Ruby was rude to a lot of the people on set, though I never experienced that directly. Either way, I'm partial to the idea that the allegations against her are true.
wow, it's so cool to have an actual witness who worked on set!
btw if you don't mind could you tell me how you get in to this line of work? it's my dream to works in this industry but i don't know how to get started
I just want to say "the check cleared" is a respectable form of career management in Hollywood. Michael Caine can have much of his explained that way, for one.
@@alexmercer9649 for sure man, it's no problem at all. Like a lot of careers it all boils down to connections and who you know. If you know someone in the industry and they vouch for you when shows are crewing up, you can jump right in. If you don't know anyone, I'd recommend film school. That's the route I took, and while the education itself was largely useless the connections I made during my time there are what allowed me to find work upon graduation. You've got to be hungry and chase after those leads though, I'd say upwards of half of the people I went to school with didn't end up in the industry. That being said it's a ton of fun working on shows and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Just from my own experience, I've been around Dougray before, several times. He was nothing but kind, cool and polite. He's also a good dad, I've seen these things first hand. Never worked with RR, so I can't speak to her.
Almost NOBODY has worked with RR because, as we keep trying to tell you all, she is NOT AN ACTOR. Australians were like 'hahah oh wait, ur serious? the underwear model and 'DJ' who dates C-grade australian celebrities? Batwoman? No no no no no...." Americans seriously have a hard time telling when Australians can't act. The Hemsworth boys learned on the job, but they were soap actors at BEST before you guys decided they should be in movies. Joel Edgerton is the worst; so incredibly untalented it's like a long-running prank we're pulling on America. Heath Ledger surprised even us, though. Hollywood been trying to copy that story ever since. The rule now seems to be, if you're bad at acting with your natural Australian accent, go to Hollywood, where you can be a star. (But only if you're a genuinely nice person like Chris Hemsworth and not, say, Ruby Rose.)
@@GlennDavey tbf Chris Hemsworth has done well as Thor his brother however yeah he’s not been so good and yeah Heath Ledger surprised everyone as the joker (even tho knights tale existed but even that was a comedy) it was one of the best performances of all time and he was lost too soon.

I have _no_ bias against Ledger. _A Knight's Tale_ is a good movie. I like _The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus._ But people are entirely blinded by bias when it comes to Ledger's Joker, simply because he died shortly afterward. One simply can not understand much about acting and think that there is anything special about Ledger's Joker portrayal. It's actually somewhat cringey at times for -- again -- how generic his interpretation of "crazy" is.

I agree with the Critical Drinker. The problem lies somewhere in the middle. It's a more diplomatic way of saying that (mostly) everyone somehow contributed to this shite fest. Though I strongly believe the studio should take most of the blame...
I can actually beleave both sides honestly. I can beleave Ruby Rose saying that the enviroment was unproffesional and hostile, that people in charge yelled at everyone for everything, that the stunt and sfx crew were careless and that the producers threated her to return in less than 10 days, but i can also beleave CWs side here, because Ruby Rose was a diversity hire, she was hired not based on her skills, but her sexuality, also if you worked in such enviroment, soon or late you would also become part of the problem with how toxic and dangerous it is. There is no way that a show where the main character quitted after the first season, where she got an injury that almost paralyzed her and where the moral compass of everyone is based on their sexuality has 3 seasons and is ongoing whitow some kind of shady issue.
@@LordofSadFac the productions was probably hell, but I am willing to bet Rudy contributed a lot to that as past coworkers have complained about her being lazy and rude to many on set.

The show is a disgrace at best.
I did a day call which turned into about a week doing lighting on Batwoman when I lived in Vancouver. Didn't want to be on it as I'd heard some of the rumours but yes, I can vouch for that production assistant.
On one night shoot which started around 6:30pm at the Vancouver train station there was just one short stunt scene where Batwoman was meant to slide off a bike, have a short dialog and then dissappear. This was a 2nd team shoot so it should have been short shift (anything less than 12 hours is short, 15s would be standard at times). Everything was set up ready to start shooting yet Ruby sat in her chauffeured car for around 2 hours right next to set, for no reason, despite being called multiple times. We all had to stand around in the freezing weather, ice, snow and wind. It ended up being a 19 hour shift in the end. She had a stunt double and body double so she was only needed for the facial shots.
Another day we had only a couple of hours to do a last minute full on lighting for Vancouver city hall with no warning and limited equipment as again it was a 2nd team shoot.
It was a crappy production as a whole but that's the ugly nature of the film industry up in 'North Hollywood' as they call it. Ridiculous hours, low energy because of lack of sleep and no original ideas for the crews to even get slightly energized by. The safety standards there are extremely lacking too despite them putting millions into the ridiculous covid protocols and it is true about the production assistant that got severely injured. That made the DGC and IATSE union really start to make a bit more of a stand about conditions.
The pay may have been good but I cherish my time more than money nowadays. And thank christ I was only a day call. Its embarrassing to have put even some of my time into it.
That’s rough bro
I think this production hell tops all others I'm aware of. With Rose's recent claims on what happened behind the scenes, it's even more incredible that this has been renewed. I think the lesson here is that if a show gets out THE MESSAGE, it's all worth it, no matter how much virtue-signalling BS, crew and actor abuse, and damage it causes in the process.
But that's the problem isn't it? It's not actually getting THE MESSAGE out to anyone particular who isn't already on board with it. It's money wasting echo chamber.
Watch his "The Abyss" production hell.....that was the worst!
@Agnez oh hey, thats probably where they'll get the next NEXT Batwoman.
Worst production hell I am aware of is the old Wizard of Oz. Toxic make up, body suites the actors couldn't take off during the 12 hours or so of filming causing them to over heat, unsafe pyrotechnics and of course characters getting replaced if they are injured on set to keep the production going.
It was made in something like the 1930's I think, sad to see nearly a hundred years later with workers Unions and the like nothing has really changed in hollywood when it comes to worker rights and safety.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming Dont forget that the snow in the poppy field was made of asbestos, and that the actress for Dorothy had to be constantly drugged in order to get through the absurd filming schedule. If im not mistaken, she was only allowed or able to get about 4 hours of sleep every 3 days or something.
OK I googled lesbian actress of Jewish descent and I came up with the perfect candidate to take over the role of Batwoman.
Miriam Margolyes appears to be the only woman I could find that meets that criteria. She is 80 years old but we can't allow ourselves to be ageist.

Everyone was miserable, and now that Ruby has thrown the first punch the studio is circling the wagons and throwing out their own accusations.
Also, spiteful women tend to remember mildly confrontational events as huge blow ups when it suits their drama seeking.
Yeah, but then again spiteful companies tend to do the same thing to employees that open them up to huge lawsuits.
Don't assume that there is necessarily any truth whatsoever to what CW says about Rose. They are a desperate corporation with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
Even assuming Scott got pissed that he was stuck in this purgatory of a production, I'd rather buy that he was a dick to _everyone_ . Claiming he turned into a giant misogynistic asshole sounds a bit far out there, and could be an attempt of Ruby's to cancel him out of spite.

Well, just before the Covid, the CW announced that they were going to remake a "Dark Shadows" series. Being a big fan of the original and the 90's remake, I thought great. When CW cancelled it, was disappointed. But now I am glad they are not ruining Dark Shadows as well.

Poor Az. I hear the doctors have only given him 6 - 8 months.

6 to 8 months of Batwoman.
I was like, "Oh hey, a series about Batwoman. Can't imagine it'll be any worse than Flash, Arrow, etc. Might as well watch..." then I heard the boy say, "The Batsuit is utter perfection," then I heard her say, "It will be... when it fits a woman." Then I was like, "Nope. Not only is she too stupid to design her own, she disrespects the legacy of Batman, then is going to steal his stuff, then claim it as her own. Just like any other Feminist Activist Kleptomaniac. Not watching this shit."
I nearly puked in my mouth a little hearing that. Imagine if someone looked at Catwoman, and said, "I like your image... your symbol. However, I think it'll be better... if you weren't a woman."
I want to remind you, the girl didn't even say, "When it fits me." She said, "When it fits a woman." She was saying, "When Batman becomes Batwoman, only then will it be acceptable to us."
I'd rather watch a guy trying to fight crime in Michelle Pfiffer's catwoman suit. That'd be hilarious.
That's exactly it. With one line in the trailer they managed to insult their whole fanbase and made their new hero look stupid :D And I'm sure they weren't even aware!

Call me biased, but when it comes to diva-like behavior, demands, big-headedness and overall shitty behavior, at least in my opinion suits more to a diversity hire than to an experienced, well versed, respected actor. Could very well be that Ruby is confessing through projection and uses straight huwite male as a scapegoat in the process. I bet she really read deep into her contract after that injury and wanted out but couldn't so she upped the diva act hoping the studio will breach the contract or worse yet: tries to fire the diversity hire.

Won’t say anything about those accusations towards him, so far it just looks like a he said she said type of thing. I’ll make up my mind when I see enough evidence although I do think it’s much more likely Ruby Rose was the actual problem
The "steamed pants" thing can really only be one of two things: Dougray Scott was so drunk he was using it as innuendo, or she's lifting reality into her own fantasy. The latter being all too possible because they do this on set/for clothing/etc. It's just not well-known so it might give her more to say but if that's all there is, him being drunk is about all there is, cause there's no way he wasn't.

@@andreivaldez2929 She immediately categorises people into "matter" and "don't matter", and then conducts herself accordingly. If you don't matter, she treats you like you're utter scum. Like you don't exist. As it turns out, I mattered in her assessment in the context in which we met, so I didn't receive this treatment - but everyone else did. Everyone. I found it almost breathtaking that anyone could be so rude.
Don't get me wrong, in the entertainment industry, you expect to deal with divas...and it's a dog-eat-dog industry, so I take it all with a grain of salt. But it's not that she was simply aggressive in a tough industry - she knows how to kiss the right asses and turn on the charm when there's something in it for her. It's that she ONLY EVER PUNCHES DOWN. Assistants, receptionists, customer service staff, baristas...anyone who she deems is of no benefit to her receives scathing, palpable contempt.
The worst part of it is, whilst she is borderline sociopathic towards others, she perpetually claims to be a victim. She bleats incessantly about her depression and anxiety and self harm and plays the victim card first time, every time. She claims to be a spokesperson for mental illness and a champion of the oppressed...yet I've seen her leave customer service staff virtually in tears with how horrendously rude she is.
I don't know how much people know about her pre-Hollywood, but she's Australian and was kicking around Sydney and Melbourne for years before she got placed in film. She as a reputation in particularly Sydney as being one to avoid. I know several people that saw her on a regular basis in a service provider context that ended up refusing to see her because she treated them so poorly.
It's tragic that young girls look up to her as a role model. She's poison, and if people knew the misery she inflicts on those around her, they'd think differently.
@@doghousereily It bugs me that she was even considered, considering her reputation. Probably "Acted" with them to seem like a decent person.

That's how you feel after watching this show.
Just switch your brain off while watching to avoid brain damage!
Even without the many members of the production stepping forward saying that Ruby was the issue, just based on her history its clear she has a real bad attitude problem. From the production crew of OITNB saying she wanted out and didn't gel with anyone to harassing her ex-girlfriend for over 4 months. She really doesn't seem like a very nice person to be around.
There was also an incident where she was socialising in a bar, ordered champagne worth $4k iirc, and skipped out, leaving her buddies to pick up the tab
Guilty or innocent, the defamation suit is Scott's best move here. The damage done by #MeToo on our culture has left "scorched earth" aggressive legal defenses the only viable path for protecting a man's reputation from allegations like these.
Even if the suit fails or is dismissed, people will take his denial more seriously because of it.
What may give Scott more credibility in the end is the fact that this information came out of left field. Other than the statement he released sucking off his handlers I imagine the suit came out of his own actions. If Ruby Rose wants to throw out allegations prove it in court. Like...you're supposed to do.
Two things can be true at once, the production could be a complete disaster and both Scott and Rose could both be massive tools on set. I doubt Scott is actually physically abusive but he probably just didn’t give a fook and let everyone know. Rose probably has a lot of resentment buildup after her injury. I can easily see where they both have reasons to be pissed off but I tend to give Scott some more leniency and benefit of the doubt because he’s worked on some big budget projects before and he’s the most competent actor there.
The only thing more incendiary than gas and a match, is two narcissistic assholes in a stressful environment.
Nah, if Scott physically hurt somebody it would have got out long ago. What was stopping Ruby leaking the info through an anonymous tip off if she was so aggrieved.
If Dougray Scott were guilty as Ruby Rose claims then he probably would have done what most guilty people do and issued an apology statement, then kept quiet in the hope that the story went away. Threatening to sue brings more attention to him which he probably wouldn't want if he were guilty. Or perhaps he's just really arrogant? Who knows?
We do know people were injured on set, including Ruby Rose herself, so since her most shocking allegations concern those injuries that would seem to contradict Scott Dougray's denials and the whole idea that the production was one happy family EXCEPT for Ruby Rose.
I lean more towards Ruby. Believe all wimmins, right?
@@SolidGoldCEO You can be massive asshole without ever facing repercussions on a poorly led, stress infused, low budget action series. The statement says he hurt a stunt double, just slap a bit too hard in that one take and dismiss the complaints of the actor afterwards. It's that easy.
Fuck, slap/hit/strangle that stunt double and then ruin the shot so you get to do it again.
Color me surprised that someone that goes by Ruby Rose is a wee bit of a princess
Considering how Scott and the assistant are against Rose and not the studio I think it's safe to say the one causing the problems is probably Rose. We also haven't heard about any other accidents from anyone else which leaks would likely happen if the cast and crew were so unhappy. It's all claims coming from Rose who at this point doesn't seem to be a reliable source. Her story seems to have holes and contradictions which often means the person is leaving out details and not being truthful.
I just wonder how in the 80s and 90s when Jackie Chan and Sly Stallone still at peak they actually do their own stunt and having massive injury without anyone complaining, woke

Ok well I heard Dougray Scott was actually abusive to Ruby Rose afterall. From what I heard she arrived on set and he actually said "Good Morning" to her.
Seriously! Can you imagine the temerity of it? That bastage! Talk about the epitome of toxic masculinity!
First he's mansplaining to her, telling her what time of day it is. Then, even worse, he's telling her how she's supposed to feel about what time of day it is!
Can you even imagine? Can someone explain why he isn't in a reeducation camp somewhere? 😂
Nah they probably both are arseholes in their unique way. A decent person wouldn't have touched this show with a stick.
@@RuslanLagashkin rotflmao. You make a very valid point my friend. I cannot argue with your unassailable logic 😆
@@RuslanLagashkin It's a job that pays. They are actors, most of them don't care what they do, but care how much they get. Can't blame them. As Scott has been around the block awhile, you get the "awhile" tag unless you are reliable enough to not cause issues, either being a moron on set, or not knowing your lines. That's usually the stars with name recognition. Whatever issues they have is outwayed by the money and eyeballs they supposedly bring.
@@dlewis9760 which does actually raise an interesting question about Dougray. He was considered leading man material for major motion pictures at one point.
Which makes me wonder if maybe his behavior on other sets in the past might have lead to him to the point that Batwoman was the best gig he could get.
No idea if that might be true or not and it's not like you'll ever get a straight answer out of the folks that work in Hollywood.
I don't have much doubt that Rose probably is a full on diva. Just gut impression of course but it wouldn't surprise me a bit. Most of what I've read from things she's posted prior to this incident seem to indicate a very strong sense of entitlement
Note taken. From now on, I will say "Bad Noon" instead.
The only time I watch anything related to Batwoman is, when the Drinker is ripping this apart
The fact that behind the scenes is more interesting than the actual show is quite telling.
I side with Dougray. Dude’s been steadily working since “Ever After” with Drew Barrymore and Mission Impossible 2 with Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton over 20 years ago, and even Married to Claire Forlani since 2007 and I’ve never heard a word of drama with regards to him. She’s done…what? This one show and trashed everyone on it the second she could? I’ve never even watched a single second of because it looked like a trainwreck and though I’m gay? I don’t care to watch “les” on screen. Just not my thing.
The thing that seems really fishy is Ruby claims it was a terrible place to work, but a couple months ago she said she would come back if they wanted her. Who does that? That makes me think she was the catalyst for most of the bad blood.
@@luciferthedoberman8991 Probably needs the money, it's not like she's exactly crawling under offers nor is she that popular. And she wants to be on the good side of history concerning those internal affairs, clearly she's not benefiting of those circumstances but would come back under different management.
She's done plenty of shows. She just plays the same character in all of them.. with the same, exact facial expression.
@@avgjoe5969 Maybe her best role was the bad guy's bodyguard in John Wick 2, because she didn't talk.
@@louisduarte8763 Thank you! It was indeed. The fact that she couldn't talk removed the questionable range of her voice from bland to slightly less bland with varying nuances of angry and irritated.
Can't wait for the Rust Production Hell
Do we get production hells for unfinished products? Because I have doubts about them finishing this one.
@@MutantBamHammer he made a video about the nick cage superman movie so why not this?..
I'm sure Drinker will give it a shot.
The lift incident happened when the person assigned to monitor the base and keep people aware of it's movements decided to sit UNDER THE ARM of the lift and poke at her phone. It didn't collapse .
The SFX guy was on his own truck, cutting some metal. A 30 year veteran. He forgot to seal a jar of black powder and a spark ignited it . Both tragedies,and I wish them well, but not indicative of an unsafe production Rose's account is all out of whack
“Production Hell”? The true Hell is for the viewers who chose to watch the end result! I can laugh, because I’ve never watched it, never had a desire to watch it, and never will watch it!!
Thank you, Drinker, for saving me from accidentally watching a single episode!!
No, the truest hell is to watch the show and having to write a positive review for it because you work for a shill website.
It's sad because if they tried really hard it could have been a mediocre and forgettable show like the rest of the Arrowverse.
8:24 - This video is succinctly summed up in ONE SENTENCE: "Out of the hills to die on in this world, Batwoman has got to be the most undeserving mound of shit that I could imagine" 🤣 Well said Drinker!!
Seriously. The most unbelievable part of Rose's story is that the network was worried about losing millions by not being able to produce more episodes. They could have thrown up a test pattern on the screen during that time slot and gotten the same ratings.
Spoken like a true writer. Not something anyone connected with "Batwoman" could understand.
😂 😂 😂
(Slams down laptop) Scott: "What ya bring me?", Ruby: "Defamation and Slander", Scott (pulls out Desert Eagle).
We're reaching layers of inside jokes that shouldn't even be possible.
*pumps shotgun*
Looks like I'm hunting some bats tonight!
Scott: *Pulls out 10 million dollar lawsuit* Now, THIS is what’s known as “getting your gun off”.
(Kudos to whoever gets that reference)
The joke about Az going from an absolute Chad to being Crazy Az was UA-cam gold
The fact that Dougray Scott is threatening to sue rather than releasing an "I'm so sorry if I offended anyone" statement probably means he's telling the truth.
Most people who are guilty issue a quiet apology, then keep a low profile in the hope that the story goes away.
Threatening to sue brings more attention to the situation which most guilty people certainly wouldn't want.
Personally I think Dougray Scott has had enough of Rose and her BS, just like everyone else on the show.
And i find it highly amusing that the wokiest of wokey woke TV shows has eaten one of their own lol.
Either he's telling the truth about not abusing women on set, or he's an idiot. Likely the first, but then again actors aren't always the smartest people around. There would be women to either confirm or deny those allegations of abuse on-set, as well as dozens of witnesses if abuse occurred.
Same. Also I'm less inclined to believe a word Ruby Rose says largely because of the MeToo movement. We live in a world where women make up all kinds of bullshit to excuse their own shortcomings; I myself have personal experience with this. I have a "sister" (and I use that term as loosely as possibly) who is just like Ruby Rose. A stuck, self-centered, spoiled little drama queen who has belittled and bullied her co-workers at every job she's ever had while being a lazy sack of shit who can't be arsed to do anything, only to quit in a fit of rage and play the victim card so my parents wouldn't think she was a complete loser.
Suffice to say, it hasn't worked, and she's living on the streets now. She just got kicked out of a homeless shelter a few days ago.
More the other way around to me. If someone's suing for being called a peace of crap, they're usually an even bigger piece of crap. If they're not, they just say they're not the piece of crap and let their reputation speak for themselves.
I'm also inclined to not believe Rose because the guy who plays Luke Fox (a.k.a. Batwing) also chimed in to say how much she made working on the show suck.
He could be covering his ass tho, but honestly, I dont care enough to be inclined to either
Today's entertainment prioritizes sending messages towards audience mostly of them fails miserably and disappoints the audience instead of actually entertaining the Audience themselves.
@gilbert godfrey I agree man I miss when movies where only about entertaining the audience not telling us what's politically correct
That has to be the most sadistically pleased "anyway, that's all I've got for today... GO AWAY NOW" that I've ever heard The Drinker utter.
Dougray Scott isn’t abusive, he’s just Scottish
Yet if he was English he'd be called British. Double standards
"Watching it is like taking a gentle stroll though the reactor core of Chernobyl..."
EPIC!
I don't believe what they say about Scott. Everyone LOVED that guy on Hemlock Grove. They loved working with him, especially the actress that played his niece. Ruby Rose thinks she is better than she really is.
So true. Even if anything she's saying about him is true, the "steamed pants" thing is a poor place to start. It shows she thinks nobody will point out who know inside stuff that they will steam clothes right on someone to make it look better on screen. Now if he was super-drunk the entire time, that'd I'd believe, you'd have to be to have kept on long as he did-and he left the moment he was not contracted to appear in anymore episodes too lol.
"Dougray Scott abused women"
I mean, who else was on set for him to vent his frustration on?
Drinker-Fans will surely enjoy Hbomberguy, i bet. I dont bet money though, so dont even ask. I just bet vanilla.
Yeah?
@@mejdlocraftci Wow, what a weird reaction to just some casual recommendation for a youtuber.
@@loturzelrestaurant You have to go back. In Jesus’ Name.
I'm glad Batwoman was made because I love these uploads, lol
1:16 - the most hilarious, most chinless, most muscle-free, most eyeliner thing I have ever seen.
If they wanted to do Batwoman, why didn't they hire Gina Carano?
If you want a physical Batwoman, then Gina was IT! You could accept her doing fights where she could actually win, instead of a 40-kilo stick insect who would get snapped in half by any man with functioning arms.
She would have been too busy filming for the Mandalorian. Can't see anyone choosing to do a CW show over a Star Wars one. Of course now she's got plenty of time on her hands.
@@kevinsmarts9953 I think it's too late for anyone to want to get stuck in a contract with this.
Gina: I don't feel comfortable doing lesbian sex scenes.
CW: ... get out! GET THE HELL OUT!
@@rdubayoo oh yeah... there's also that.
There are literally tens of thousands of capable female fighters from different combat sports, who can beat almost any man on the face of the Earth (exception being top male combat or strength athletes, or genetic freaks). Why not hire one of them? Or WWE chicks would be pretty believable as strong female character.
I'm looking forward to your, production hell, for Alec Baldwin's Rust.
Thats a (As they say on certain social media platforms.) big yikes.
Damn, beat me to it - was going to make it this same joke.
@@andreivaldez2929 the joke is that somebody actually went to hell while filming it?
Went to Woke Hell because she died at the hands of a Baldwin.
That video is gonna be a blast.
"The living embodiments of participation awards" 90% of modern Hollywood got hurt over this one
7:23 and this is why I come here. Because your perspective of the media content topic o' d' day is 100x more entertaining than actually watching many of these shows, so I get the gist of the trainwreck without having to sit a chair down beside the actual track ^_^'
Thanks for all the content over the years, your efforts have brought ya a long way. Pat yourself on the back and pour yourself a drink, fwiw I know you've earned it here
~a random canadian dude in his 40s
Critical drinker: Batwoman was a production hell.
Rust: Hold my beer....
I’d would like to say “too soon”
But in the case of Rust, you can’t be soon enough
That movie deserves a fair shot
Come on guys, have some respect. When you’re shooting a picture you don’t expect it to shoot back
This comment wins. This is gold.
lol, I mean the name of the movie itself is already like it's foreshadowing on how it gonna go through
Also apparently a makeup artist was hospitalised as well, how the hell did that happen? Stunt doubles is understandable because that is a risky job but makeup artists?....how?
Did Ruby punched the make-up artist?
Maybe the set is just *that* dangerous
I think I speak to everyone's inner Count Dooku when I say, *"I've been looking forward to this"*
You're reviews of movies and shows are some the most entertaining content on UA-cam. I find myself binge watching quite often. I'll go away now.
CW: "I need an idea for a show"?
Third Wave Feminism: "Insult men and put the female lead in danger".
CW: "This will be perfect when we are in court with the woman star of our own show BatWahman". 💯
"Of all the hills to die on..."
That's a great way to look at it. Pick your battles wisely, people.
I love the fact that Drinker's Batwomen videos get more viewers than the show itself. Take a bow Sir
With how woke Ruby Rose is, I am very much convinced that she made up all of the accusations against Scott for the purpose of redirecting her own toxicity
You read my mind bro
@@BungZero Same, I just re-watched this video and it's painfully obvious (knowing Ruby Rose's own personality/history from the last ten plus years) that she chose the most well known and prolific actor on the show, when there's barely any other recurring male characters. She couldn't choose the black guy of course, and the rest were smaller time supporting b listers. And of COURSE she has nothing to say about the dozens of actresses around her at all times. They were definitely all perfect. It was just the man that was the problem 🙄🙄🙄
I just wonder how in the 80s and 90s when Jackie Chan and Sly Stallone still at peak they actually do their own stunt and having massive injury without anyone complaining, woke
@@chlorophyll6154 You can't expect modern LA hipsters who cry when starbucks is out of pumpkin spice, to be able to do anything difficult, that would be unfair and racist and sexist.
