The reason she explained for it was discrimination as well as sexual harassment. According to her, “Throughout the filming of the pilot, I experienced racial discrimination/racially entrusted with inappropriate comments from the hair section, and bullying from Executive Producers. During the season, it advanced along with sexual harassment from a recurring guest star, Demetrius Grosse. Even Sally, head of hair dept. intensified into sexual assault at warp party.
The Sexual Harassment was reported directly to the Showrunner/EP and remained undocumented. It was not reported to HR. Sally Ciganovich was fired ONLY after the sexual assault and NOT for an entire year of racism/racially charged language and bullying behavior.”

But, Gosse’s attorney released a statement later on the matter. According to him, “Demetrius Grosse was wrongfully accused. He has been exonerated of the alleged misconduct regarding his work on The Rookie… and claims all over the internet couldn’t be verified. Thus, no one should publish serious allegations like these in such a reckless manner. Due to this, Demetrius lost multiple jobs. We are glad that the investigation has been performed and are grateful to eOne for its steadfast support.”
