she agreed to return next year, so I guess MTV isn't upset. She will still be watching from home, and had already pre-recorded some segments

We quietly & respectfully observed the picketing, from a distance when walking back from lunch break on the lot. We only had a few seconds to look before having to get back to work.
You approached us and attempted to say “we have some actors here” into a megaphone. It didn’t make… https://t.co/8H2hKXcOch

I didn't know who they were either. Apparently they're on Grown-ish.

My favorite part from Diggy's tweet:
As a writer myself, in no world would I ever mock you or any of the writers out on the line.

Okay, you would never mock a fellow writer (FYI - he has no writing credits on his IMDB page so I don't know if he means that he writes in his dream journal or what). You would just cross the picket line of fellow writers (including the writers of the show you've been on for five years) who are on strike Good to know just how far is too far in your respect for fellow writers.

His whole reply was so dumb and it literally confirmed what she said. He needs to go back to pr 101. Lmao
