(Sorry if ladbible.com is a bad source I don't keep up with media too well)
So I don't usually give a shit about celebrities, but apparently, it recently came out that Brendan Fraser was blacklisted by Hollywood for letting slip that he was sexually abused by the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk.
You know what James Woods had to say about this? "I understand what he went through, I too was blacklisted... for my conservative values"
Imagine comparing being blacklisted for being a bigot to being sexually assaulted. Fucking clown.
Keep in mind this is what Brenden Fraser went through (heads up, it includes a detailed description of sexual assault):
spoiler
The 53 year old said: "His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around. I felt ill. "I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry... In my mind, at least, something had been taken away from me." Berk, who is still a member of the HFPA, previously tried to describe the incident as a joke in his 2014 memoir, and in a recent statement given to GQ, he added: "His career declined through no fault of ours." After his shocking revelation, Fraser received a written apology but claims he found himself shut out from the HFPA and the Golden Globes awards, leading him to wonder if he'd been blacklisted. After this, the actor suffered personal setbacks including issues with his own health, divorce and the loss of his mother.
Yeah, being blacklisted for being sexually assaulted is just like being blacklisted for being a bigoted fuck!
Fuck chuds.
More and more I believe Brendon Frasser to have been a regular sweet normal dude dropped into Hollywood, and sadly Hollywood stories do not commonly have a happy ending. Very glad to see him back with Doom Patrol. Also fuck James Woods, whiny asshat.
Holy fuck! I'd always wondered why he dropped off the planet after being on the cusp of full action hero status. Poor guy, you can tell he is a good actor who is easy to work with.
Also fuck James Woods.
I thought this was old news? Unless he was sexually abused by another person
I always liked Brendon Frasser, Encino Man is a classic and Monkeybone is a cult classic
Hollywood needs a violent purge of all the creeps
I tried to watch Monkeybone once when they aired it on late night tv as like one of those "UNCENSORED UNCUT" things they did after Comedy Central aired the south park movie a few times and it didn't click. Granted, I was like 15. Should I try again?
To be honest I haven't watched it since I was 15 either so I don't know but sounds like it would make a great slop night movie on cytube either way
I remember loving him as a kid and was always sad he seemed to had dropped off the earth as an actor. Same with Rick Moranis too.
He’s returned to Hollywood now. He’s in a new movie where he’s :joe-ligotti:
Oh look, it's Hollywood covering for sexual assaulters again.
How unusual.
Maybe if I sit here being angry enough, it'll feel like I actually did something and I can go back to grilling tomorrow.
That's sarcasm, but I genuinely have no idea what we're supposed to do with this information.
Stalinist purge or Maoist purge, either way
Yeah I'm a centrist like that
:stalin-approval: :both-sides: :mao-shining:
I dunno, getting keeping tabs on the sick shit bougie freaks do and getting angry is a great motivator for me, but yeah I can see how it isn't everyone's cup of tea
Is that like how i try to watch at least one horrifying ACAB video everyday to keep my disgust maximized
From where I’m sitting all I can really do is believe people when they say someone is a monster. It’s a start.
That's pretty fucked. Just finished watching Doom Patrol yesterday, his character is a lot of fun.
I feel for the dude but man he must have an incredible PR team behind his comeback explosion. All of a sudden he was at the top of every social media feed and everyone in person was talking about him too.
the cynic in me knows that it has nothing to do with him or his struggle, but everyhthing that his struggle provides as a narrative to the comeback kid story that Aronofsky has already provided us once before with Rourke.
James Woods got blacklisted because he's an utter fucking pain to work with
That's why the only people willing to deal with him now are other conservative shitheads and CBS (:same-picture: )
I thought it was some domestic abuse allegations?
This is horrible.
