‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers – Trying to make a change
Arianne goes into great detail about her past and how she brought it to work to make it a better place, and then she moved into the accusations and how in March 2023 several female employees were fired, their female PR department was dissolved, and women’s contracts weren’t being renewed and so on.
She talked about how many that were moved to recurring status were worried their accusations would be swept under the rug or they’d be fired, and this all allegedly happened under the show’s owner Ken Corday, who she said is good friends with former producer Albert Alarr.
When her and others’ pleas were ignored, it took a pair of Deadline articles and a petition with 25 employee signatures that Albert was released.
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers – Countering Alarr’s claims of racism
After news of the lawsuit came out, Albert Alarr released a statement where he hinted at racism being the cause for the accusations.
As expected, Arianne spoke on that, closing out her statement with a poignant statement and question to both Ken and Albert.
“But I do want to address this in regards to Albert’s comments about being pushed out because he’s a Black man. Well, I’m Jewish and I’m a woman. And I’m a white woman, yes. But racism works both ways. And after everything you have read and after the numerous people who have come forward from all nationalities, I have a question for you: Do you think this lawsuit is about racism? Or do you think this lawsuit is about these two particular men, Mr. Alarr and Mr. Corday, not taking accountability for their actions?”
The battlelines have been drawn and all there is to do now is wait and see how things unfold. ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers will keep updating as more news comes.
