Criminal Mindsis a police drama that debuted on CBS.
Cook’sCriminalco-starKirsten Vangsness, spoke out and voiced her disbelief.
That summer she toldScreen Rant, “It sucks when they fire your friends.
She also added, “To keep your mouth shut about something like that.
Make that decision, but just know that I disagree with you.”
In 2011, she likened the experience to a bad break-up while speaking toTV Guide.
“It felt like a breakup with a guy.
It happened out of nowhere.
And it was an ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ sort of thing.
You think, ‘What did I do?’
Unlike Cook, she has seemed to have no problem speaking out about how she feels they were treated.
In 2015, she toldThe AV Clubtheir firings had nothing to do with money.
“I was so soured by the experience of being fired for no reason.
Because it wasn’t budget cuts.
The person they had hired to replace us got paid twice what we got paid!
It’s a web connection that’s not particularly kind to women.
That’s why a lot of women leave those procedurals.
Or are fired.”
