Not here for people who wanna be all “But Nicole wanted to leave!!!!”

Uh, yeah, let’s not pretend that Fox, the show runners, and the writers didn’t drive her away with their constant disrespect.

THIS

the showrunners treated her horribly, sidelined her character, left her out of press things like the dvd commentary as if she wasn’t a lead, and she had every right to go rather than continue to deal with their mistreatment of her and her character

her choice to leave shouldn’t reduce the responsibility of the showrunners for the way they behaved one iota

Look at that. What, they didn’t realize they accidentally unfollowed THE STAR?

If you want to send her some love and maybe follow her, here’s her account: https://twitter.com/NikkiBeharie/

the reason this one feels different is because abbie had one trait that none of the others had. she was the hero of the story.

even if you don’t think there’s a vile strain of homophobia running through the industry at the moment, whether or not you believe women of color are woefully underrepresented on tv, no matter what your feelings about about misogyny as a motivator for people’s actions, you cannot deny a crap load of women have died on tv lately.

but abbie’s different, because she was the hero of the story and the story ends when the hero dies.

and for a show to kill its hero and go on without her, what they’re really telling people is she was never really the hero. it literally doesn’t matter why they did it. it just does. not. matter. because they’ve told us now that in the story they’re telling, abbie was so unimportant that they could do without her.

fuck you, sleepy hollow.
