TooFab all these bitter people who cant handle the fact they didnt get rehired. Which is not even the same as fired. welcome to the world of showbiz. Thats just how it goes. Right heidiklum ? One day you're in...next day OUT.
TooFab Get shit done 💁🏼♀️
TooFab I swear a black person cannot be fired or spoken negatively now without it being spun into racism. Thats the narrative thats been forced. Its illogical to imply somebody would EMPLOY a black person in the first place and then fire them for being black. Literally makes no sense.
TooFab Ever think you just sucked at your job? Union certaintly did
TooFab That show is garbage without him.. his character was a standout, dude is an underrated actor.
