RiverdaleWriter WriterRAS karterhol BrianEPaterson cmaroon TessaLWilliams listen to her & do better

WriterRAS RiverdaleWriter TessaLWilliams BrianEPaterson karterhol there’s so many news articles y’all better pay attention & do better in your writers room

So y’all down to address this? BrianEPaterson WriterRAS RiverdaleWriter karterhol

Yet she stays on the show though? She should leave if this is really an issue.

All the Kevin Hart movies!!! Will Smith! Haley Berry! Just to name 3 highly rated stars with mega movies! Blackish! Tv high ratings! I don’t think her statement is justified

That show blows anyways

I think it's safe to say she won't be on Riverdale next season? But also I can see people being frustrated but NOT EVERYTHING is about color. Just bcs her character is not one of the main ones doesn't mean it's bcs of the color and also she agreed to play that role.

Ummmm I see MANY African-amercian shows.... SERIOUSLY!!! This is what starts so much drama on these media sites. Did you forget they have blackish, insecure, empire, blackleaf, snowfall, Chi, real housewives of Atlanta, brownish, meet the browns and all the Tyler perry episodes!

Hate how little screen time she was given. One of the most talented in the cast and deserved more. Glad she not holding back the truth no more 👏❤

It's obvious how bad the show treats her

If she asks for a raise now, I'm sure they'll be very generous. Too bad about Black owned small businesses though. Hollywood doesn't want to help them.

TheCW does this with all of their shows.

Wow that blows for her 😭 man it blows

Give me a break 🙄

Speak!

She has a point, but in light of the actual life and death matters going on, is this the time to focus on you?

Ma non ha mai espresso tali parole🙈

She's right, her character is a prime example. But the CW is notorious for portraying POC/LGBTQ/marginalized characters as tokens so it should surprise no one.

But has no issue cashing the paychecks monthly. ,,,,,,

Wasn't she the lead on my babysitter's a vampire?

Jessy_Robert oh Jesus

Shame Riverdale I like this show too

Don’t take the part if you don’t want it. GTFOH.

facts because her character has never had a backstory or any true storyline of her own. And don’t get me started on the wigs they put her in

So her best friend let her sit up there and be clowned like that? Could never be one of mine.

Idk about this.

Id smash

Scandal & how to get away with murder are very good shows with amazing female lead

I never heard of this show or movie but I’m proud of her for speaking her mind.

Then start saying no

Lol se vas the star in that vampire series (Disney)

Good on her for speaking out!❤️❤️❤️but WHO ACTUALLY WATCHES RIVERDALE how is this show still getting new seasons?😂

WriterRAS how y’all handled Josie and the Pussycats is inexcusable. Do you know how many opportunities you guys had to give them actual storylines but instead they were used as background music and then were written off.

So now is the time to bring up her pay? Ok.... people r dying... u r fine in your “poverty” princess

Toni had so much potential but the writers gave her zero screen time, no storyline. There’s so much wrong with Riverdale and I’m glad a cast member has spoken out about it; all the PoCs are mostly extras or side characters + if you’re not a pretty skinny boy/girl you’re f-d!

Have you read the comics ever? Cause there were 0 black people in it. You being on the show is the studio being 'woke'. Should u get paid more? Sure. Will they ever pay you more? No. Unless you do a Josie & Pussycats spin off series.

this is disgusting, we are with you VanessaMorgan

riverdale is so racist. they totally forgot about chuck, the pussycats, got rid of josie, made the lodges a mafia family, keep forgetting about fangs and sweet pea, and toni's only purpose is being cheryl's girlfriend BUT she and reggie were supposed to be main characters smfh

GIRL OMG E! NEWS GOT INVOLVED WriterRAS you are FINISHED

this is shameful!

Here we go again.

KellyRipa & MarkConsuelos have to quarantine in the Caribbean honey.

she deserves more 🖤

But your not a main character........
