Executive Producer Eric Wallace, who is Black, tweeted that The Flash is a show for all families, including Black and Brown ones, and that he would “continue to find Black and Brown writers, directors, actors and producers of all genders to help tell FLASH stories.
Bravo reality show Vanderpump Rules was practically cleaning house this week.
The show let go of four of its stars on Tuesday for separate acts of racism.

The firings seem to be picking up steam from last week, when Lifetime cut ties with Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller after the mother of one her former dance competitors shared the racism her child had faced on the show.
