In the past, Candice Patton has received negative, non-constructive feedback and comments for her role as Iris West in The Flash.
A fan decided to respond to on one of Candice Patton’s tweets by telling her that Iris West and her singlehandedly ruined The Flash. In a pro move, Candice Patton fired back at the hater by reminding them that she made quite a bit of money by “ruining” The Flash.
