    Penn used to be good, I think his parents were commies or fellow travelers. He was a supporter of Chavez. Celebrity culture sucks.

              Penn sued some other Hollywood dude for mentioning it in an interview and apparently Madonna went to bat for Penn in court and said he never hit her, and that the incidents that made it in to the press didn't occur. So, if you believe Madonna, Penn never struck her or tied her up. Which isn't to say that the guy isn't a raging asshole for other reasons.

      When he and Madonna were married in the 80s, he was physically abusive and once put her in the hospital by hitting her with a bat. He’s a performative piece of shit. May not be true. See below.
