Candice Patton (The Flash) opens up about her experiences as the Black Female lead of the hit genre show, navigating depression and fighting to survive a set that drove her "so down [she had] no place left to go but up" with Elliot Knight (OUAT, Titans) on his newly launched podcast "The Open Up."

The CW seems like an especially hellish employer. If it isn't racism, it's unsafe work practices.

Poor Candice. WB really ain't shit for what they do to PoC.

Fuck the CW. They deserved to never turn a profit. And fuck all her white costars who just sat back and let her suffer.

The phrase "better late than never" doesn't really seem to apply here. If she accepts their apologies, she's being far more graceful and forgiving than I could be.

Poor Candice, it sounds like such a rough work experience over there at the CW. :(

I read this as "I could get eaten out."
