Ruby Rose | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Ruby Rose is finally opening up about her decision to leave The CW’s Batwoman as the title character.

The news rocked fans and the internet last week when the network released a statement about Ruby‘s exit.

“This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles,” the initial statement read.

In a new Instagram, Ruby opened up about her leaving again.

“Thank you everyone for coming on this journey. If I mentioned everyone it would be 1000 tags.. but Thank you to the cast, crew, producers and studio,” Ruby captioned her post, that included a highlight video. “It wasn’t an easy decision but those who know, know..”

She added, “I didn’t want to not acknowledge everyone involved and how big this was for TV and for our community. I have stayed silent because that’s my choice for now but know I adore you all. I’m sure next season will be amazing also. Xxx *hangs up cowl and cape.”

Reports have suggested that Ruby left because of the physical demands and that she possibly wasn’t the easiest to work with.

Batwoman will return for season two on The CW.

Ruby Rose has set her first project following her exit from The CW’s Batwoman and the project will be aired live TODAY!

A source is speaking out on the real reason why Ruby Rose left the title role of Batwoman in The CW show of the same name.

The departure was apparently a mutual decision, and not the 34-year-old actress’ sole decision.

“It wasn’t 100-percent her decision,” a source told TV Line. “It was a breakup. She wasn’t happy working on the show, and did that make her fun to work with? No. So everyone decided it would be in the best interests of the show, and for all concerned, if they parted ways. It just wasn’t a good fit.”

Apparently, Ruby didn’t like the “long hours demanded of a lead TV role” and didn’t enjoy living in Vancouver, Canada, where the show was filmed.

The show’s second season is set to debut in January 2021.

Another source spoke out and said this was NOT the reason Ruby decided to leave the show.

Ruby Rose made the shocking announcement that she’s leaving The CW’s Batwoman, where she stars as the title character.

“I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” the 34-year-old actress said in a statement. “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles. I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created. Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”

Well, fans have been speculating that Ruby may have left because of an injury that she suffered last year that almost left her paralyzed. She had herniated two discs doing stunts, and it came close to severing her spinal chord.

A source told Variety that her exit from the show “had nothing to do with her health or injury.”

Ruby Rose just announced she will no longer continue as Kate Kane/Batwoman!

The 34-year-old has decided to leave her title role in The CW’s Batwoman‘s second season, according to Variety.

“I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” Ruby shared in a statement. “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles. I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created. Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”

Ruby‘s announcement comes just a few days after The CW revealed the 2020/2021 schedule and a Superman & Lois/Batwoman crossover.

UPDATE: The CW is looking to recast the role after Ruby‘s exit.

Ruby Rose and Bella Thorne wear masks while stopping by a friend’s drive-by birthday party on Sunday afternoon (May 3) in Studio City, Calif.

The two stars arrived at the party in the same car and waited in a line-up of cars to help celebrate with birthday girl Riawna Capri.

Ruby and Bella hopped out of the car to grab some drinks and snacks from the catering table when they reached that point in the line-up.

Also in attendance at the drive-by birthday party were Ashley Greene and her husband Paul Khoury.

Riawna is one of the most in-demand hairstylists in Hollywood and she’s the co-founder of the popular salon Nine Zero One.
