Too bad Britain doesn't have Freedom of Speech.
Oh, wait,
that only works if you are a minority.
Ms Omooba may consider herself to be part of a minority but that is irrelevant in this instance.
She was hired to play a lesbian character and refused to do so. That leaves the theatre with a big problem.
They should sue her for wasting their time and money.
Your linked article said that she was fired for a facebook post from 2014, not for refusing to follow directions.
Either you are confused, or the article is very poorly written.
To be clear, if she accepted a role and then refused to play it, that would be on her. The question then becomes, why did she accept the role.
But, the facts as presented, it seems she was just sacked for having the wrong thoughts.
I agree the article is poorly written.But the key issue here is that she would not have done the job anyway. Aside from here repellant views that one thing left the producers with no option.
I just looked at the article again.
On second glance, it is clear that someone, the writer of the article or someone at the theater, just made up the bit about her not being willing to play the role.
She took teh role, and then some little *** lefty, went looking for shit and got her fired because of something she said on facebook, 6 years ago.
The claim that her presence on the set, would have been a problem for the show, is also made up bullshit.
btw, it is worth considering that this is how lefty fags come to dominate industries. They discriminate against people for not conforming.
