CC Debate: Over

 Posted on 5/6/1998 by J. Michael Straczynski <71016.1644@compuserve.com> to CIS


Okay, from the beginning of the Claudia Christian departure,
I've been saying that she quit. At the time, she said she was fired.
And a lot of people said, "Well, we'll never really know." This
despite all the basic facts being confirmed by both sides.

I quote from an interview with Claudia just published in the
Summer issue of Sci Fi Invasion:

Question: By you quitting, Straczynski lost Ivanova. He
couldn't have been happy about that.

Claudia: I think he feels like I put them out or something by
quitting the show, when in essence I don't really think it affected
anything. (small snip) I just didn't think there'd be a lot for me to
do, and I didn't want to be relegated to one more year of not having my
any challenges.

She has finally confirmed it: I told the truth from the
beginning. She quit. She wasn't fired. She quit.

This debate is now over.
