Another talent that left “Barbie” during the film’s development at Sony was Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “Juno.” She exited the film in 2018 and told ScreenCrush at the time, “I was literally incapable of turning in a ‘Barbie’ draft. God knows I tried.”
I called it, I almost feel sorry for this writer because she was probably pushing herself hard on a project she absolutely hated deep down. She fucking knew as well this wasn't going to be accepted by the public and no one was asking for it so she ducked out fast to stay out of trouble and not have her name associated with it. At the same time though, it's a classic case of you dug your grave now lie in it.
