Yeah, that is definitely creepy. It still strikes me as odd that no one has mentioned why the father was not approached before the actress was fired. It would make the director/company's case look much stronger if they said "We warned him, we asked him to leave, we told him to leave, he wouldn't/ she wouldn't let him, so we fired her."
Don't be so reverent about reality. It's just a trick, done with mirrors.

It sounds as though his presence in rehearsals (or, rather, the presence of "a bodyguard" of her own choosing, in this case her father) was written into her contract. If she refused to have anyone else in that position, and refused to renegotiate her contract, then getting rid of him means getting rid of her.

And of course, from all reports, there was no negotiating with her, all decisions were being made by him, since he was also her manager and that's who you would have had to begun negotiations with.  Much as it may seem mean or unfair, On_Headset is right, getting rid of him meant getting rid of her.

Side note: this is why stage dads are ten times worse than stage moms.  Somehow there always seems to be a creepy "ick" factor that works its way into the overbearing pushiness.
