In a follow up to this post, some of the actors on shows Andrew Kreisberg run have spoken out in support of the people Andrew Kreisberg of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment for women.

Mods: I tried looking for more reactions but could not find any other actors or staff commenting on this. This took a long time sifting through social media of various actors since Kreisberg ran four shows featuring large ensembles. Ciara Renee, who plays Hawkgirl, has retweeted Melissa, Emily, and Chyler’s tweets though. Please consider accepting this regardless. Major media sources are reporting on these social media posts.
