Well uh, I was gonna pick Francis Ford Coppola since most of my other picks had been mentioned but I decided to go on his wiki page and.
CW: Child Sexual Abuse
Apparently he financially and publicly supported Victor Salva, a movie director who abused a 12 year old actor during the filming of a film that Coppola produced, when he was charged and convicted for doing and filming the abuse. Also quoted as calling Victor "practically a child too" and claiming that the difference in age was very little, when Salva was fucking 29 years old.
Apparently Coppola also directly threatened the victim with never working within film again and sued him for breach of contract.
