Won't be watching anymore!


I can't believe they fired Harley for tweets that he made years before he started the show. I guess tolerance and compassion only works one way.

Harley who?
Can you be more specific please?

Hartley Sawyer, actor on The Flash. They found a series of disturbing tweets he made a few years ago (some about beating up women, beating up his dog, some racist jokes, etc).

People seem divided. Some say he shouldn't be fired for tweets he made over 6 years ago, others say 6 years ago wasn't that long ago (2014), and anyone who makes jokes about beating your dog needs a therapist.

Personally, I don't think this Flash show is some sacred thing or right. It's a business, and if he is attracting unwanted attention and dragging ratings down, or goes against whatever ethics WB has, I don't see a problem dropping him. But then, I don't watch the show, so it's easier for me to say goodbye.

Worst part is the reason they found those tweets was because he had apologized for them.

hahahha. they done goofed their own ratings years ago, lol.
With their typical CW-tween soap drama style writing....

He should have learned that lesson before 29.
