English term or phrase: They went out, they trashed me in the trades.
Buenos días,

se trata de un actor de una serie que tiene una disputa con la productora y deja el trabajo. Luego lo denuncian por incumplimiento de contrato.

I stayed home for seven episodes. They went out, they trashed me in the trades.

The studio took Erik to court. Executives slapped him with a 40-million dollar lawsuit for breach of contract.
