Superman and Lois recently began filming after a long production delay. However, one the show’s writers, Nadria Tucker, has revealed that she has been fired from the series. Via Comic Book Movie, Tucker threw some explosive allegations on her way out the door. On her Twitter account, Tucker says that she clashed with the writers over racial and gender representation.
Some personal news: Wednesday I got word that my contract on Superman and Lois won’t be extended, my services no longer needed, my outline and draft subpar (obviously I disagree with that last bit lol). This, after months of me flagging #metoo jokes in dialogue 1/2

of me defending the Bechdel test, of me FIGHTING to ensure the only Black faces on screen aren’t villains, of me pitching stories for female characters (there’s one in the title of the series!) that went ignored.
If I sound bitter, it’s because this one stings. 2/3

I’ve been assured by colleagues that I was great in the room, so I know I’m not nuts. I debated whether to post this but my own mental wellbeing demands that I do. The only way shit changes is to expose it. /end
