Ok, so to sum it up, because I've missed a lot:

Redlion14: Skyzy is right, I was referring to Maybelline. There are inside sources that say that the company announced that they weren't supporting the show BUT they haven't pulled their investment money. I don't know if it's true, but it sure sounds to me. Companies don't care about image of those they support over minor incidents like this. As long as people watch the show, as long as it has viewers and it fulfils its agreement with them, they have no issue. If something more extreme were to happen, they would have pulled the money. If you think like a capitalist for a second, it makes plenty sense

Show addict: First the season was intriguing not worth waiting for. Like the article says they've left HUGE holes in the narrative and they are solving some of them through tweets? Come on! The show should at least have covered some. Bellamy's actions could have been very justifiable to the eyes of the audience at least, IF they'd shown us a little less ACTION Bellamy and more THOUGHTS-AND-FEELINGS Bellamy. JR made bad decisions and one writer that I know, the same writer who wrote the death of Lexa refuses to write again from the show and he is trying to distance himself from it. For example, when ADC talked on an interview on the Fear of the Walking Dead panel about her departure, someone raised a very good question either at an article or a comment under the video I can't remember exactly. Alycia is a new actress and she is a woman who lives inside an industry that's man-controlled still or worst producer controlled. She can't really voice a disdain without putting her career at risk. Why do you think big actors start talking about problems they had on set AFTER they become big shots? Even if Alycia wasn't pleased with this, she wasn't be able to say so for another decade or so. Maybe even later, depends on her career. Ricky and his mom from what I've gather from third-parties were infuriated with RJ about mishandling the actor. So, after you hear all this from actors and their relatives, even people associated with the show directly, you ought to be a bit suspicious of motives!
