Read on to read what Superman & Lois Writer Nadria Tucker said after Nadria Tucker FIRED
CelebnMovies247.com reports that Nadria Tucker has been dropped from the writer’s room of The CW’s upcoming Superman & Lois.
This kind of staffing change on a yet-to-be-released show wouldn’t be terribly newsworthy, except that Tucker also stated that she’d been a vocal critic of some aspects of the show.
Nadria claims that she was let go because she was being too vocal stating that she’d spent the last several months “flagging #metoo jokes in dialogue,” “defending the Bechdel test,” “FIGHTING to ensure the only Black faces on-screen aren’t villains,” and pushing for more female-forward storylines.
of me defending the Bechdel test, of me FIGHTING to ensure the only Black faces on screen aren’t villains, of me pitching stories for female characters (there’s one in the title of the series!) that went ignored.
If I sound bitter, it’s because this one stings. 2/3

I’ve been assured by colleagues that I was great in the room, so I know I’m not nuts. I debated whether to post this but my own mental wellbeing demands that I do. The only way shit changes is to expose it. ??? /end

Superman & Lois is currently scheduled for a February 2021 debut, arriving as part of the network’s efforts to get things back to some semblance of normalcy after COVID blew almost its entire fall TV schedule out of the water. The series was developed by CW superhero maestro Greg Berlanti, working alongside The Flash’s Todd Helbing, who’ll serve as executive producer and showrunner on the show. The series sees Hoechlin and Tulloch, who debuted their versions of Clark Kent and Lois Lane on Supergirl, dealing simultaneously with the problems of raising kids, working in the high-stakes of superheroic journalism, and fighting bad guys.
