Accountability in Entertainment • Page 134

I just checked and wow, he comes across as an asshole via his likes. Their studios used to be in the same building as my office and they seemed like good guys, but damn. Also, Preston doesn't wash his hands in the men's room.

 

Armie Hammer took money from Saudi Arabia to do sponsored content for them.

 

We gotta start publicly shaming people for this

 

frankly i’m shocked that the grandson of Basically Daniel Plainview is a fucking idiot

 

When a celebrity does something stupid, they almost always have that sort of lineage.

 

Jimmy Fallon Says He Was Advised to 'Just Stay Quiet' When SNL Blackface Sketch Resurfaced

Fallon addressed the blackface incident again on his show. I wonder if it's common for cast members (past or present) to be told to stay quiet when they partake in controversial sketches.

I've never really taken a critical look at SNL but I'm thinking there have been a lot more controversial sketches than I remember and that have been addressed.

 

Will Ferrell probably sweating over that Robert Goulet sketch rn

 

I would bet money that many of them were told that they would be fired if they refused to do the 2015 Trump episode

 

I don't like Jimmy Fallon, but I really like what I've seen of how he's responded. Seems like he's done a good job of not making excuses or passing the buck, celebrating accountability & doing his homework. And, I also appreciate that he was honest both about what he was advised to do & his own fear of that whole "cancel" thing, & then was like, no, this is accountability, & it is good.

 

Rachel Griffiths Apologizes After Backlash To ‘Shallow’ Social Media Post About Her Manicure As ‘America Is Burning’

 

Despite people's opinions on his comedy I've always thought Fallon seemed like a genuinely really good dude, and I honestly still do. He handled this really well

 

Hahaha

 

Him, and his brother are such clowns

 

They both suck, but the other Paul actually used his podcast (or whatever the fuck he's doing) to spread a pretty powerful message about white privilege and injustice. I was honestly shocked at how not bad it was. He's got a legion of easily influenced tweens, and he used his powers for good. Still a dork.

 

Hmmmm hasn’t heard that. That’s my main issue with them is the very impressionable youth that they command, but if they’re saying some positive stuff like that then great.

 

didn’t he basically make a video glorifying suicide in some “suicide forest” a year or two ago?

 

Lol yeah he sucks

 

He (and others he was with) found a dead man in a forest known for people to commit suicide in Japan and filmed the man while also laughing at the same time.

 

yeah that’s what i thought
