AMC Defends Norman Reedus
Reedus costar in a new Walking Dead spinoff exited the project, and fans turned on Reedus, believing he was to blame for her departure. AMC went to Twitter to defend Reedus, saying that Melissa McBride left the show because she doesn’t want to move to Europe for filming. “Norman Reedus is being unfairly targeted and attacked in social media for a decision he had no part in,” the network wrote.
Norman was almost a dead man walking.
A statement from AMC and TWD:
We would like to acknowledge the response to this week’s news related to the previously announced Daryl and Carol TWD spinoff. Norman Reedus is being unfairly targeted and attacked in social media for a decision he had no part in. (1/3)

Melissa McBride decided she could not participate in the series because relocating to Europe became logistically untenable for her. It is inappropriate to direct negativity and anger at another cast member for a disappointing outcome he had nothing to do with. (2/3)
— AMC-TV (@AMC_TV) April 29, 2022
Carol is a beloved & vital character and we are working to find a way for fans to again follow her story, as only Melissa could give life to, in the expanding universe around The Walking Dead. The fans have always been the driving force behind #TWDFamily and always will be. (3/3)

She told Harpers Bazaar, ‘I’ve learnt a lot about addiction and it’s something Kit is forever going to be aware of, but it’s on him whether he chooses to drink again. No amount of nannying is going to be able to stop him from doing what he decides to do… I don’t choose to put that pressure on myself. The responsibility of his behaviour is on him. It’s not on me to guard him from it.’
That’s being supportive.
