Or claim that like the Parkland kids, that they’re paid actors.

Depends on how you read the text:

Barr reached a settlement with ABC, which will exempt the network from having to pay Barr for the new spin-off.

I saw that this morning. That charmer Brian Kilmeade! I’m surprised PBS hasn’t hired him to replace Mister Rogers.
Great excuse if someone hits one of his kids with their SUV: “Hey, it’s not MY kid! Besides, I ran the kid over in New York. It’s not like the little bastard was from Texas or Idaho - you know, the REAL America!”

I’m definitely going to watch and support it. There’d be no better message sent than for the ratings to be much higher without her. It would tell TV execs and advertisers (who’ve mostly already figured this out) that there’s a much stronger market for diversity and inclusiveness than racist PP voters.

Good.

The ‘sudden turn of events’ was her character ran off with a white supremacist.
