Grant Gustin, Stephen Amell, Caity Lotz, And Chyler Leigh Weigh In On Andrew Kreisberg Suspension

More Arrowverse stars have weighed in on the suspension due to sexual assault allegations against Andrew Kreisberg, former executive producer and co-creator of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow. Previously, Supergirl star Melissa Benoist has spoken out about the suspension, as has Arrow star Emily Bett Rickards. Now, four more cast members have posted statements to social media.

First up is Legends of Tomorrow star Caity Lotz, who posted to Twitter shortly after Benoist and Rickards's statements.

Next, Arrow's Stephen Amell, who took his message to Facebook.

"I have no interest in speaking about an ongoing investigation, other than to say WB is conducting an investigation into what is being alleged against one of the producers on our show, and if they need my help in any way, shape or form, they will get it. I thought that it was appropriate, before I spoke to you or before I spoke publicly, to speak with our cast and our crew, which I got the chance to do this morning. I certainly can't pontificate in an eloquent way or in such a succinct manner like Emily did, like Melissa did, like Caity Lotz did. I stand behind and fully support everything that they said. Our biggest asset on Arrow is our crew, and further more, their biggest strength and our biggest strength is working on it as a team. I think that we can do this because we promote and we champion a safe and progressive work environment.

I told them this morning, and I tell you now – and I meant it, that if anyone ever feels anything less than 100 percent safe, or anyone feels as through they aren't allowed to express themselves and be the person that they are, that they should come to whomever they are supposed to go to and that I'll stand right beside them, right behind them. I'll speak on their behalf if need be. I also think that in situations like this if you're not an active part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem. Period. That's it. We do our best to have the best possible work environment. We will continue to do so. Again, I echo the statements made by my friend and co-worker Emily Bett Rickards, Caity Lotz, Melissa Benoist and the chorus of others that have come forward and called for a safe, progressive, equal working environment."

Next, The Flash star Grant Gustin, who wrote on Instagram:

"I can sometimes forget that I live in a world where not everyone has the same rights and privileges as I do. I realize that it's my privilege that makes me forget. Hearing of different men, again and again, especially in the industry that I work in, treating women as if they are less than, and both physically and emotionally abusing them has become a daily occurrence.

This is not ok. This can't become our new normal. These last few weeks I haven't been sure what to say, so let me say this. I want to be better. I want to be a better man, a better ally. And I especially want all of the women in my life to know that I hear them, I stand with them, and I support them.

I'm in awe of not just all the women who have spoken out these last few weeks, but any woman who has ever done so. I can't imagine how terrifying it must be and how much courage and strength it takes. These women are the real superheroes, and they should be treated as such. Thanks for reading."
