I am so beyond overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, kind words, scriptures, strength filled quotes and devout support that has come my way. One Instagram post is just like those 2 fish and 5 loaves of Bread. The rippling effect it has had in just a few hours shows how much this world is aching with victims of racism, discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual abuse all of it. I am no stranger to all of the above even before this experience. But it is through this experience and my platform that God pushed me to use the power within me. It just takes a VOICE. I never imagined so many of us have experienced these horrible circumstances and that can NO LONGER GO UNHEARD. We have a voice. ALL OF US. It is our DUTY to use it. I used to fear the word Victim. I scoffed at it because all I was told when these injustices happened to me, was to Survive. Survivor I am. Victim I am also. A victim of injustice. A victim of assault. A victim of abuse and harassment. If you have experienced any of the above, you are too and I for one stand with you and I’m no longer afraid to be vocal about it. We Can Stand Together. Let’s Change This Sickness. That Change starts with US. This season on The Rookie, I was sexually harassed by fellow actor Demetrius Grosse. I was Racially Bullied and Discriminated against and Sexually Assaulted by Hair Department Head Sally Nicole Ciganovich. Let’s BE the CHANGE we WANT to SEE??👊🏾🙏🏾{@@/a@@}{@@/p@@} {@@p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;"@@}Uma publicação compartilhada por {@@a href="https://www.instagram.com/therealaftonw/" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;" target="_blank"@@} Afton Williamson{@@/a@@} (@therealaftonw) em {@@time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2019-08-06T00:06:53+00:00"@@}5 de Ago, 2019 às 5:06 PDT{@@/time@@}{@@/p@@}{@@/div@@}{@@/blockquote@@} {@@script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"@@}{@@/script@@}
No post original, a atriz contou que desde a gravação do episódio piloto ela vivenciou situações de discriminação racial por parte de Ciganovich e sofreu bullying dos produtores executivos.
"Ao longo da temporada a situação piorou e fui vítima de assédio sexual de um ator recorrente. E os comentários racistas da Chefe dos Cabeleireiros se transformaram em agressão sexual na festa de encerramento", escreveu Afton.
A atriz ainda alegou que contou ao showrunner de The Rookie, Alexi Hawley, mas que nada aconteceu. "Ele não fez registro nem repassou o problema para o departamento de Recursos Humanos", declarou a atriz. "A Chefe dos Cabeleireiros foi demitida depois da agressão sexual e não por causa de um ano inteiro de bullying e comentários racistas", escreveu.
Afton também disse que suas denúncias nunca foram investigadas e que ainda a queriam gravando com o ator denunciado por ela. "Depois que fiz a primeira denúncia de assédio sexual, me informaram que o ator em questão seria demitido. mas também pediram que eu gravasse com ele no dia seguinte".
Na segunda-feira (5), a presidente da ABC, Karey Burke, abordou o assunto na coletiva de imprensa da Television Critics Association dizendo que ela e a ABC estão "aguardando os resultados da investigação" antes de tomar uma posição.
No Brasil, a série The Rookie é exibida pela Universal TV.
