dewlineYes, I just saw the reports on Variety and THR, and some discussion on TrekBBS.
Perhaps this isn't the surprise that I first thought.
Between the spinal injuries on the set, the allergic reactions to costume-related make-up, the similar and more permanent injury of a production assistant on location, the constant abuse from toxic "fans" that she's certainly been dealing with, whether the abuse is because she's "out" or because her character is...and then, there's the simple fact of the "60-80 hour work weeks 9 months a year in the Vancouver rain" before any of the rest of that gets factored in.
Whatever the reasons for her choice, I hope Ruby Rose has a good life, that she lives long and prospers with peace of mind and heart through it all. Thank you for your performances. You brought joy and wonder, danger and excitement, and a set of ideals behind it all. Thank you for taking this chance.
To whoever's next up to wear that cape and wig and ride those motorcycles: whoever you are, I look forward to seeing you do your best with the people around you on both sides of the camera. I hope you find your own joy and wonder in this work in progress, and that it will keep you around for the long term. And I thank you for taking this chance.
