Angelica Ross, an actress who starred in FX’s American Horror Story and the Emmy-award winning Pose, recently took to Twitter to call out her former boss and co-star.
Ross accused Ryan Murphy, the creator of both series, of “ghosting” her in 2020. She said she emailed him her idea of a season of AHS focused on Black women, to which Murphy responded positively but then never followed up. Ross posted screenshots of their exchange for proof.
Murphy had written back, “Remember your idea about a Horror season starring Black women? Well, I’m doing it. Not sure of the story yet, but we will start a writers’ room in the fall. Along with you, who are the four women I should get? I think you, Keke Palmer, Gabby… not sure of the fourth?”
In response to this, Ross had excitedly write “YAAAAAASSSSS!” and recommended Debbi Morgan, Lynn Whitfield, and Alfre Woodard and Amiyah Scott, a fellow transgender actress.
However, after this conversation, Ross said Murphy “ghosted” her. She then tried again in 2022 to see if he was still on board with having her join the writing and producing process, but even after sending flowers, she didn’t hear back. She also had to turn down an opportunity to star in a Marvel film because of her contractual obligations with Murphy and American Horror Story.
Ross also called out former co-star Emma Roberts’ alleged transphobic behavior. She claimed that Roberts had misgendered her on the set of AHS: 1984 after another co-worker told the ladies to “play nice.” According to Ross, Roberts had said “Don’t you mean ‘lady?’” Ross said she never spoke to Roberts again when cameras weren’t rolling and stayed quiet out of fear of retaliation.
Angelica Ross’ story has been an important reminder to fight for what’s right and stand up for oneself. Her brave and honest posts on social media have inspired many, and she is a true example of courage.
