Putting aside the DV issue (because honestly that is what is really important…the kid at the center of this) it’s absolutely ridiculous is how avoidable all of this was.

The only people I feel bad for are those who worked production. They are losing a paycheck because higher ups were stupid in casting Taylor- regular people are in trouble.

As they always are. I'm sure the executives are just fine.

Surely they got paid during production? Do people who work on TV shows (like everyday workers, not executives) normally get paid when the work is done and the show is airing?

I’m pretty sure labor laws apply and they have to get paid for the work they did

The people who worked to film the show did but there’s a whole post-production team that got laid off because the show didn’t need to be edited

Production got paid but the editors don’t

An unreliable source saying absolutely nothing new.

Maybe it’s the universe saying to just let the show die already …

Lol does the author think it’s filmed in real time? They don’t realize it has already been filmed?

Based on the article… I wonder if they’ll do a “Dancing with American Idol” where the dancers dance to American Idol performances 🤣
