Dougray Scott, who also appeared on Batwoman, has denied his former co-star Ruby Rose’s comments about the lack of safety on the set, which included abusive behaviour by Dougray himself.
Dougray Scott Denies Ruby Rose’s Comments About His Abusive Behaviour On The Set Of Batwoman
Ruby, for her part, departed the show after just one season. And in the aftermath of it, she let everyone know just how bad the working conditions were. So much so that she alleged two members of the crew were seriously injured as a result of negligence.
She admitted that the writer was often absent from the set. This led to huge repercussions as one member of the set had allegedly suffered huge burns, while another had become diagnosed with quadriplegia.
And yet, Dougray has dismissed those claims by calling Ruby a liar. In an official statement given to The Wrap, the actor called out Ruby over her comments.
He said: “I absolutely and completely refute the defamatory and damaging claims made against me by her; they are entirely made up and never happened.”
So what did Ruby claim that Dougray did? Well, she revealed that he was abusive and hurt a female stunt woman before storming off the set.
Although it is Ruby’s word against his, it is important to note that Dougray also left the show after one season, just like Ruby. At the time, Ruby blamed Dougray for the following: “Dougray hurt a female stunt double.
“He yelled like a little b*tch at women and was a nightmare. He left when he wanted and arrived when he wanted. He abused women, and in turn, as a lead of a show, I sent an email asking for a no-yelling policy. They declined.”
Clearly, something did happen on the set of the show, but whether it was what Ruby claims is anyone’s guess. Regardless of what may have happened, there needs to be greater protection for actors in being able to say what they want during the filming of the show.
Ruby’s comments came after she left and therefore her credibility has naturally diminished because of that over fears that she may have made everything up.
