Rough week for their PR rep

 

I remember hearing this like 10 years ago and it being framed at the time as "Topher was a loner and a dick to his castmates". Now it makes sense.

 

Therapist notes (by Dr. Dawn Hughes) reveal James Wan and Jason Momoa blamed Amber Heard for increasing harassment and eventually wanted her fired (Zach Snyder and his wife stood up for her). Momoa used to come to set dressed like Johnny Depp


Depp v. Heard: Unsealed Documents 2023 - Google Drive

 

Wow. So incredibly gross.

(Also, the Snyders keep being real ones.)

 

Like, Snyder's movies generally suck (except visually), but he's never seemed like a bad guy and this just makes me happy to know he genuinely seems like he's one of the good ones

 

man what the fuck Momoa

 

He also grabbed a book out of her hands and ripped it up like Gaston

 

I don’t know what it says that I genuinely do not know if this is a bit.

 

It isn't haha

 

Hey, Jason Momoa. Question for yah. What the fuck?

 

Mannnn

 

Welp, guess I’m rooting against this next Aquaman movie. What the hell.

 

DC has been having the worst luck, if you could even call it that at this point. Maybe it's karma for not releasing Batgirl starring Brendan Fraser who's wholesome af

 

So weird to me that they would have Brendan Fraser play two separate characters in the same universe heh

 

Omg I knew about this but didn't make the Gaston connection. Literal villain behavior!

 

longer headline is actually "TMZ obtains video of Jonathan Majors breaking up a high school fight between two girls after it was submitted directly to them by Jonathan's PR team after they finished filming and editing it."

 

Madonna says Sean Penn never hit her, as she offers evidence for her ex-husband | Madonna | The Guardian

“'Specifically, I am aware of the allegations concerning an alleged incident that occurred in June, 1987, whereby (according to tabloid reports), Sean allegedly struck me with "a baseball bat." 'I know the allegations in those and other reports to be completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false.' The Material Girl favourite then insisted claims she had been tied up and assaulted 1988, a criminal complaint over which at the time was subsequently withdrawn, also did not happen. She said: 'While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never struck me, "tied me up," or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false.'”

I had never heard of this story but apparently Madonna says it did not happen? Unless she was threatened to retract her claim that it did happen?

 

In one of those cases, she had a police report where she said he abused her and an officer was on record saying she looked like she had been roughed up.

 

I just read that, I hope she was not forced by Penn to retract her claims.

 

she was, the show Empire mentioned it so he sued Lee Daniels for defamation and made her file a report

 

That quote from Madonna feels about as fake as Mila's apology video

 

Not sure how I feel about Michelle Wolf's take on Chappelle and his trans jokes. This is from her recent Rolling Stone interview,

Is that why you came to Dave’s defense when Hannah Gadsby spoke out against him and his trans jokes?
Yeah. I think people really miss a lot of what he’s saying. He says it very clearly in his one special: “Why was it easier for Caitlyn Jenner to change her gender than it was for Cassius Clay to change his name?” I think that spells it out right there. He wants everyone to be able to live the way they want to live, including Black people. Time and time again we see that, as a country, we literally don’t want Black people to live and we don’t do anything about it. They try to act like Dave is some sort of villain when he’s not. He’s a hero. He’s fighting for his people.

But there are Black trans people.
He’s not saying those people shouldn’t exist. He’s just saying that he should get to exist too.

I’m curious why it has to be one or the other? Or why are their struggles being compared to one another? It sort of reminds me a bit of the early 20th century, when Black people and women were fighting for civil rights, and those two groups were often pitted against each other.
Well, there were a lot of white women that were being pretty racist.

Oh sure, but it became this thing where those two groups really shouldn’t be pitted against each other, because neither of them is responsible for this predicament, and should be working together against the powers that be.
I don’t think he’s saying that one can’t exist, or that it’s one or the other. I do believe he’s saying that both can exist, and there’s no reason they can’t. But I also think he’s trying to be a voice for people that are being ignored as well.

 

Interviewer hits the nail on the head there imo. Michelle obviously has a right to feel that way, but to act like you have to punch down on one group to advocate for the progress of another seems crazy to me.
