everyone's trying to cancel her now but i blame production they make you work til you drop

[aleegmalual]

I've seen people say that it's not that serious...like y'all realize that there's still people that could die from Covid, right?

[mallorypersephonebby]

i might be wrong but i personally blame production

[DragonView]

i think we're saying, she shouldnt have been on-set around other uninfected people who now become potential victims, possibly death. Its just not worth the risk. Stay home. Get better. Push the film crew a week and lose production $$$ (it happens). be safe.

I am addicted to Paint It Black.. the dance was fun to dance.. no I’m not Jenna but I did do the dance, and it’s not that hard to not blink I learned, I also am known as the Wednesday in my school that I now call Nevermore Academy, I learned a lot of this series and I am very addicted to it. As Enid says I never had a f to give.

What a difference 2 years and a few elections makes. And here I am with the coof for the third time in 3 years, nothing has changed, infact I think this time around is worse than the last two. Although I didn't lose any sense of smell this time like I did the second time I got it.

This girl has a bright future ahead of her.

I don’t care. Its still a good series and she’s fabulous.

This is why we has so much of an outbreak! Covid was and is serious!! This makes me more mad that I am never watching her again! I take that personal due to people like her knew she had it and went to work still. I had a few family that had that happened to them and died alone with covid!

[nextlvl]

I think she misspoke, they weren’t sure if she had Covid or not. Most workplaces will still ask you to come in (or simply not care) until they see a positive Covid result. So I don’t blame her for that. Production probably didn’t want to waste any time or money.

The production department and yes ofc the director, basic sense of humanity? Actors are also human beings like seriously?

[trashtvinternational]

Horrible. Super dangerous and incredibly hazardous

[Raynethemagi]

All I can say is, bring it on. I had it once, and now I have immunity

[EjRidenhour]

Mfs acting like if they watch they scene they gotta put they mask on or they will catch Covid
