Warn: The following contains a mention of sexual assault.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon these days (or the past two decades, honestly) we are losing great TV characters shown by immensely talented actors because of their gross harassment during production. Just to recall a few: Charisma carpenter is fired Osos Vedon's Angel is basically pregnant (after the director passively-aggressive threatened her many times and called her "fat"). Nicolette Sheridan wrote from "desperate housewives" after five years, claiming She was a victim of attack and battery From the creator of the show that she had applied and eventually retaliated against. Or Ruby Rose leaving "Batwoman" After a season because of the toxic and dangerous work environment in which he had to perform.

African-American actress Afton Williamson for departing Alexi Holly Police procedure, "rookie", "" is perhaps even more disturbing and frightening example (but unfortunately not unusual in Hollywood). After playing Talia Bishop - the newly promoted LAPD training officer - for 20 episodes in the first season between 2018 and 2019, Williamson left the series due to a large number of alleged offenses made for her, including racial discrimination, harassment and sexual assault.

Once you have refused the Bid for Return in Season 2, Williamson went out to Instagram In 2019 to share the details of her decision with her fans. She explained that starting from the pilot's shooting, she received inappropriate and racially filled comments from the hair department, along with abuse by executive producers.

The bad treatment of Williamson was linked to alleged sexual harassment by a recurrent guest starvet, which Williamson says she later escalated into a sexual assault on the annual wrapping party. Williamson then reported the attack on the series "Showerer Holly", but later revealed that her appeal was "undocumented" and never applied to the Human Resources Department, as originally promised. She said:

"The Human Resource Protocol has never adhered to the above reports given by me to my shower/EP and an investigation into any of my claims has never been issued.

But as long as it can be shameful, as it seems, nothing was done against the guest Starwar Williamson accused of sexually inappropriate behavior. She said: "After my initial report of sexual harassment, I was convinced that the actor would be fired. Also, I was asked to shoot with him the next day as courtesy of the script, although we have not yet started filming the episode. Human resources involved."

Since the investigation that was promised, it did not even begin before the shooting in the season 2, Williamson declined the offer to return and went. In her inscriptions, she concluded: "Now is the best time in the world to be a woman and I have a platform, so it's time to use my voice. The power comes from within.
