Two months after suffering her injury on the final season of Game of Thrones, Casey Michaels was one of 80 performers asked to contribute £300 towards a gift for Irlam for keeping the team safe. Although they were told the collection, which potentially raised £24,000, was voluntary and would “not impact any future employment,” Michaels believes the opposite is true. “Everybody knew there would be repercussions for not paying,” she says.

This Rowley Irlam comes across like a corrupt, arrogant arsehole.

This sounds like mafia-esque blackmail.

300$ to keep the team safe.
