Cavill accused of toxic behavior against women on Witcher set.

Makes sense why he was replaced on Witcher and Superman. There’s likely more bad press coming.

Remember: he said a lot of bad stuff during the Me, Too movement.

Reading this article, I wonder if it's a publicity stunt on behalf of The Witcher team. Because around the time he left the role as Geralt, other people reported that the writers on the show hated the novels, mocked them, and wanted to tell a different story on the TV show. And Cavill has been established as a huge fan of the novels for years. Other actors on set would report how Cavill would constantly try to bring the show's writing in line with the novels, like telling them, "Let's use this line from this page of the book". And we also know that season 2 of The Witcher was a trainwreck, mostly because the writers threw the novels in the trash and wrote original material for season 2.

Then around the time that Cavill left the show, we heard that he was quarreling with the producers/writers about the creative direction the show was in.

So this article seems to be saying that he was misogynistic to the female producer and female writers on the show. And I'm sitting here (as a woman, mind you), and thinking, "Hmmm...was he [i]really[/i]? Or are you trying to spin this as a #metoo thing because your show sucks and you're angry that people noticed?" [/quote]

He doesn’t strike me as a guy who reads novels.

It’s more plausible he’s a jerk who said jerky things and was fired…especially given things he said and was called out for and ultimately had to apologize for during Me, Too. [/quote]
