While I appreciate them quietly changing the article, it’s sad that it even came to this.
See thread below for details🪡
In 2021, The Hollywood Reporter opted to run a piece about me (written by Kim Masters) that exposed the racism and toxicity of former and current Warner execs.
As reported by LA Mag, Siegel—who was an editor at THR at the time—was none too pleased.

Apparently some folks at @WarnerMedia think that a room full of executives saying “we can’t an angry Black man at the center of the movie” (and then reducing/removing all Black and POC from that movie) isn’t racist.
Odd.

The investigator hired by @WarnerMedia was brought on to help the company assess and evade legal liabilities.
Continually touting her status as a FORMER federal judge in an attempt to sway public opinion is obvious and desperate.
She is now simply a lawyer.

I strongly suggest that @TheWrap amend this article immediately.
While I appreciate the reporter’s undying desire to do @wbpictures and Walter Hamada’s bidding—it is factually inaccurate.
I did not publicly step down from anything.

If @wbpictures has made the decision to remove me from The Flash, rather than address, in any way, Walter Hamada tampering with the JL investigation—that’s on them.
The idea of removing the role, rather than recasting it, is only being used to try to avoid public backlash.
