Why Afton Williamson’s Talia Bishop Left The Rookie

Warning: The following mentions sexual violence.

Unfortunately, it is not a rarity today (or honestly over the last two decades) that we are losing great TV characters that very talented Actors describe during their gross abuse. Just a few remember: Karisma -Torbel kicks Joss Whedon’s “angel” from the fact that he was basically pregnant (the instructor passive aggressively threatened him several times and called him “fat”). Nicollete Sheridan is written about “desperate housewife” after five years, claiming He was a victim of attack and battery The creator of the exhibition he announced and eventually touched. Or Ruby Rose departed “Batwoman” After one season, because of the toxic and dangerous work environment, he had to perform.

African-American actress Afton Williamson’s case to leave Alexi Hawley’s Police procedure “beginner” It may be even more shocking and crazy (but unfortunately not rare in Hollywood). After playing Talia Bishop – a recently promoted Lapd Education Manager – 20 episodes in the first season in 2018-2019, Williamson left the series due to countless alleged crimes, including racial discrimination, harassment and sexual violence.

When the offer has returned to return during season 2, Williamson moved to Instagram In 2019, the details of their decisions with their fans. He explained that starting a pilot’s shot, he received inappropriate and racially charged comments from the hair department alongside the bullying of the main producers.

Williamson’s poor treatment was associated with the alleged sexual harassment of a recurring guest star, which Williamson said later escalated into sexual violence at an annual wrapping party. Williamson then announced the attack on the showrunner Hawley, but later stated that his complaint was “documentary” and never reported to the Human Resources Department, as was originally promised. He said:

“The HR protocol was never followed to monitor the above reports, which I have given to my actor/EP, and the study was never given to any of my demands. The only time I was asked to attend the study, which I called in June 2 after our announcement. This meeting included a showrunner and two other producers with the producer. “

But as startling and outrageous as it looks, there was nothing about sexually inappropriate behavior against the guest star Williamson. He said, “After my original sexual harassment report, I was convinced that the actor was separated.

After his promised survey, he had not even started before the start of season 2, Williamson rejected the offer to return and walk. He concluded in his messages, “Now is the best time in the world as a woman and I have a beginning, so it’s time to use my voice. The strength comes from inside. It comes from above.” The bigger thing is that it is in me than he who is in the world. “
