Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Actor Hartley Sawyer has been fired from The CW's popular superhero series The Flash after several racist and misogynist tweets from a few years ago were brought to the surface. The tweets, many from 2012 and 2014, were brought to the surface over the past couple of weeks, leading to the producers' decision to let Sawyer go. He has portrayed Ralph Dibney on The Flash for the last three seasons. "Hartley Sawyer will not be returning for season seven of The Flash," reads a statement from The CW, producers Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Productions and executive producer Eric Wallace (per The Hollywood Reporter). "In regards to Mr. Sawyer's posts on social media, we do not tolerate derogatory remarks that target any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation. Such remarks are antithetical to our values and polices, which strive and evolve to promote a safe, inclusive and productive environment for our workforce." https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/the-flash-hartley-sawyer-fired-tweets-ralph-dibney/?fbclid=IwAR1R8Z2B3y0oiR0y3RFFc19zi2RsJ9vSKHpFon0OxFUEblDpBdl0cUJMjcI Everyone should be held accountable for their horrible language and views, even if was a few years ago.

President Biden 5,898 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 just a thought, why do celebrities not delete their old social media accounts before getting big gigs and stuff. It seems like it’d be pretty easy to do but yikes, his posts were pretty bad I got drunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like his character tho, and right after messing the show with „Elongated Man” they messed it even more with miss Nora Allen aka „XS” TONIGHT I WON'T WEAR MY DISGUISE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The fact that I see more people defending him on Twitter is just sad and triggering. Yes, it was years ago, but he was also already a 28 year old man in 2014. He knew what he was saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somehwere they were hiding her pregnancy and that she's returning back for season 7. Yes, I didn't like how the Nora storyline ended. I think that not releasing the last episode of the season 6 is a huge mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that not releasing the last episode of the season 6 is a huge mess. Yes, Killer Frost was injured and was forced to lay in bed. That’s how they hid her pregnancy. I’ve heard that they weren’t able to film everything for the last 3 episodes... Wish we could have proper season which was interesting imo... Original Bat Woman also left her show.

She was overwhelmed with working on the set. Apparently it was too much for her and the producent just let her go. I also didn’t like that show . The Flash is the only one I like.
