WGAW Expels ‘Fashion Police’ Scribe For Writing During Strike

Joan Rivers Resolves WGA Dispute by Not Rending Writing Services

From the fallout of her writers at Fashion Police and their strike, Joan Rivers was up for a possible expulsion at the WGA, but has thus decided to support the writers by not rendering any writing services in hopes that the striking writers will return.

Currently, amongst those striking writers, Eliza Skinner currently writes for Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell and Bryan Cook tours with his Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction.

As of the time of this article, there is no word if the writers will return yet.

Joan Rivers Facing WGA Expulsion Hearing Over ‘Fashion Police’ Next Month

While the writers of Fashion Police are still technically on strike, little news has come for them making headway in receiving their unpaid wages. However, showrunner Joan Rivers could face expulsion and more in an upcoming WGA East hearing for violating WGA regulations regarding working on Non-WGA sanctioned shows. 

Either way the hearing goes will be a precedent set for being a staff writer on certain shows.

WGA East Charges Joan Rivers With Violation in ‘Fashion Police’ Writers Dispute

A WGA East council took a vote and determined to send violation charges to Joan Rivers over the Fashion Police Writers’ Strike. According to Rivers’ manager, the issue is between the writers and E!, which has been one of the only remarks sent down from Rivers in regards to the whole matter. 
The writers of Fashion Police are still on strike and developments towards a resolution are still to be seen.

The WGA West YouTube channel posted this video this morning of all the striking Fashion Police writers commenting on star of Fashion Police Joan Rivers’ complete lack of backing them in trying to get fairly compensated from E! Entertainment. 

In case you were wondering and it wasn’t obvious from the video, not much that was being disputed has been resolved from almost four months ago.

So, There Was No Sabotage at The Fashion Police Writers’ Strike Benefit

May 16, 2013

e!, fashion police, writer's strike

Rumors that sabotage of the benefit for the Fashion Police writers currently on strike have been circulating over the past few days.

However, we attended the show last night at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood and no such hijinks occurred and it was just a packed room with a crowd that simply had a great time watching Bryan Cook, Eliza Skinner, Todd Masterson, Dante, Baron Vaughn, Bobcat Goldthwait, and more.

Though, it turns out that while it was indeed true that E! executives did purchase a majority of the tickets, pretty much no one showed up on their behalf to not laugh or whatever was planned, which means the crowd in attendance had paid individually at the door to get in. 

Thus, the benefit generated much more money than originally possible that went to the writers that needed it.

Something Strange Is Going to Happen at The Fashion Police Writers Strike Benefit Show

The writers of Fashion Police, many of whom are very funny comedians featured here at The Comedy Bureau, are still on strike for unpaid wages. In solidarity of their strike, they’re holding a benefit show at The Laugh Factory, then this insane thing is apparently happening where E! is possibly throwing a wrench in the benefit.

One thing to keep in mind when you read the full story at the link:  Almost no show at The Laugh Factory is sold out days in advance, no matter who is playing there.

The Writers of ‘Fashion Police’ Have Gone on Strike, So Don’t Scab

As reported by much bigger organizations than us, the writers of Fashion Police on E! have gone on strike for not being properly compensated in the overtime they’ve been working for the cable network program. The link above is a post by Fashion Police writer and great comedian Eliza Skinner urging aspiring writers and comedians to not scab during this strike, a message we definitely support.

Writers of ‘Fashion Police’ on E!, Many of Whom Are Hilarious Comedians, File Claim Over Unpaid Wages

In case you didn’t know the likes of Eliza Skinner and Bryan Cook, they are two really funny people whose comedic exploits you should definitely be following. With that in mind, they should, as writers on E!’s Fashion Police, also get paid for many hours of overtime if they have not been properly compensated. 

This is cautionary tale to all those writers/comedians/etc. going for a comedy writing job in making sure to not be taken advantage of.
