From Deadline Aug 2,2023 

It’s an environment in which people are afraid to take time off work, even if it’s for something important — family or having babies or whatever — because they’re like, you lose your job,” another DoOL employee said. “It’s a running joke, keep things a secret about your personal life. That’s just not an environment to work.”

Another refrain repeated by actors on the show is how they are being told by Alarr and his team that they are replaceable, which adds to the stress and anxiety as they try to provide for their families.

“People would be let go, being told, ‘We’re not going to use you anymore’, and then they would bring them back. It was just like we were Tinkertoys,” one performer said.

We will start seeing these women being replaced.. Gabby soon.. 

Why not just correct the issue and ask the actresses to return?

Why not settle with Ari and let her return? 
Also from Deadline Aug 2, 2023:

This crew is being beaten, and it’s really hard to watch that,” one person said. “I get keeping the show on the air but at the cost of people’s [well-being], it’s brutal.”

Staffers also criticized the lack of transparency on DoOL, which did not inform employees about the investigation into Alarr or its results, and has still not addressed the situation with them following Deadline’s story. Show producer Corday Productions did reach out to staff last week with the Week of July 31 filming schedule, which had Alarr slotted to direct Friday. DoOL employees told Deadline that they found out that their hiatus had been extended by a week from our story Friday night.

“Everyone is so upset,” one staffer said about the lack of communication and lack of action.

Added another: “It’s just so disheartening. That silence is so deafening. The silence from the show, the silence from Ken.”

As Deadline reported last week, Corday Prods. owner and DoOL executive producer Ken Corday has not been hands-on involved with the show in the last few years, passing that responsibility to Alarr, and he also opted to keep Alarr in his roles after receiving the report from the Sony TV-run probe following meetings with multiple staffers who had shared their issues with the director-producer before speaking with the Sony HR investigator. Alarr received a written warning and was asked to undergo training

Then after several female staff petitioned to have Alaar removed and once word got out he was finally let go.. but what’s changed? Why are the women merely being replaced?
