What people are saying
I think we’ve always made the commitment to show the essence of their journeys in an accurate way, and I think that certainly showed who Rob was in that moment in a very accurate way.
They’re adults, and they’re making their own choices, and we’re there to follow that.
There was never a moment during filming or production where I felt physically unsafe.
my choices to leave with Rob were 100% mine, and there was never a moment where I felt like he would be physical with me.
