Hope the week went well for you. 6 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.600 Very got very busy here in Hollywood gossip. Laying here in shiptown. 7 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.920 Things are really kicking up, kicking up a storm out here. Hopefully I 8 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.399 can catch up on some of this stuff. Number one, it looks like 9 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:43.079 the me too hashtag is still very much alive in Hollywood, six years after 10 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.759 it was introduced. We know the long list of studs and creeps that they 11 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.240 caught in its net. And we know the men who went down for good. 12 00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.840 Actually, since Bill Cosby is now a free man, the only guys 13 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.400 whose careers are through and in fact in prison er R Kelly and Harvey Weinstein. 14 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.239 I don't think I've missed anybody. That's pretty amazing, Just two guys. 15 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.400 I mean, think about that. They got a lot of people down, 16 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.159 They stopped a lot of creeps from acting the way they've acted over the 17 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:19.239 years. But just two went to prison. Okay, but now this movement 18 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.239 has taken down Oscar winner F Murray Abraham. I'm not sure how loud how 19 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.560 long he'll be down for, but he definitely took a hit. The story 20 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:36.640 this week from Rolling Stone and it went into detail about the allegations against F. 21 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.920 Marie Abraham. Of course he should a statement right away. He said. 22 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.079 This is a sincere and deeply felt apology, and it goes on to 23 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.239 talk about the fact that lions Gate it was lions Gate's decision last year not 24 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.799 to bring him back for season three of Mythic Quests. I haven't seen this 25 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.599 show yet Mythic quest he said, though never my intention to offend anyone. 26 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:06.319 I told jokes, nothing more, jokes that have set some of my colleagues, 27 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.039 and as a result lost a great job with wonderful people. I have 28 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.759 grown in my understanding from this experience, and I hope they will forgive me. 29 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.039 I hate to read that from actors who have been out there a long 30 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:27.159 time paid The dudes always always put in quality work, always just always nail 31 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.479 a role. I hate to see them bowing and cow telling you know, 32 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.879 hope, I learned my lesson. I've grown in my understanding. I never 33 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.680 believe those sentences. No one grows from this. You just go are you're 34 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.520 fucking kidding me. I told a joke. Got damn it, that's what 35 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.639 they say. But then again, just to be fair, I talked to 36 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.800 some girls that I knew for a long time in New York when this stuff 37 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.599 was really raining down in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen nineteen, and a number 38 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.080 of them told me when I bring up names, you know, like Trolley 39 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.520 Rose, you have no idea how many girls said, oh yeah. Charlie 40 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.080 put his hand up my thigh at a lunch, up my skirt during the 41 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.319 lunch, wanted to come back to his house to see his new kitchen remodel. 42 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.039 He's a girls who with thirty forty years younger than he was, So, 43 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:19.400 you know, maybe there was something more to f Murray Abraham's behavior than 44 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.599 just a joke. Maybe one day will know, But most of these people 45 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.599 stayed pretty tight lipped about this stuff. But he worked as his character was 46 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.560 C. W. Longbottom, a writer who works at a game studio at 47 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.840 the center of the series. He joined the cast in twenty nineteen. Recently, 48 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.439 Mythic Quest got renewed for seasons three and four. It's on Apple TV 49 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:47.280 Plus. And look, you know, Abraham went on to snag a role 50 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.240 in the second season of HBO's The White Lotus. He's going to be in 51 00:03:52.319 --> 00:04:01.240 Netflix's upcoming series Gielmo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. But yeah, the series 52 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.120 is still coming back for it and the fourth season, but he ain't gonna 53 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.560 be around. I never saw this series. I did like m F Murray 54 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.479 Abraham and White Lotus. You know, like I said, he doesn't nail 55 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.040 in the performance once he's a real actor. Oh put him pin in that 56 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.639 for a second. I'll get back to that. But I was listening to 57 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:29.079 Mark Marin's podcast and he had Ray Romano on and they're shooting the ship, 58 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.279 you know, and I look, I love Ray Romano. Rosalie used to 59 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.399 beg me to watch Everybody Loves Raymond because of the way, you know, 60 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.800 everybody treated each other, the big brother, the way he acted Peter Boil 61 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.839 as the father the mother was great, his wife was great. I mean, 62 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.879 there's a great show, great jokes. Every It's like six last per 63 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.160 page. Like, you know, one laugh over the other, laf you 64 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.680 gotta be careful you miss a joke if you're laughing too much. It was 65 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.120 a great show. And plus he was a sports right living on Long Island. 66 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.319 And my sister would be like, that's you. You're a sports treddy. 67 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.959 You lived on Long Island. I said, I know, bro, 68 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.800 I get it, but I hate these canned comedies on network TV. But 69 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.240 once I start to watch it, I liked it. I was hooked, 70 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.839 so I if it's on TV, I'll keep it on. But then they 71 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.600 start talking about you know, Ray Romano has got a lot of work lately 72 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.800 on dramas, no more comedy's. He was an HBO's series Vinyl about the 73 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.680 music business, which I love, but it got can to left the one 74 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.240 season. He used to be on a show called Men of a Certain Age. 75 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.199 Not really what I like to watch, but all right, he's making 76 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.720 his moves, coming up the ladder in the world of drama. Then of 77 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.399 course he was in The Irishman and some other smaller things. Now he's got 78 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.560 a movie that's coming out that semi autobiographic, though it's also he also directed 79 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:56.120 it, called Somewhere in Queens and as you know, Mark Barron has been 80 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.120 acting here and there. He's you know, his own series called Maron for 81 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.199 a while. He acted in that naturally, then he's thought as in the 82 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.839 female series wrestling series Glow, and he's doing movies here and there with some 83 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.199 big, heavy hitters. But when I used to watch these guys, whenever 84 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.519 I watched these guys in a movie or a TV series, I never really 85 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:24.639 believe. Then when it's a drama, I just don't. And now I 86 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.879 know why. So during this episode, Ray Romano was talking about how it's 87 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.079 tough to be around those people and had this one heavy scene where his character 88 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.759 and Vinyl had to contemplate suicide, and he was very, very sad and 89 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.160 forlorn. He didn't know how to do it. He couldn't imagine what that 90 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.839 meant to be in midlife and want to commit suicide. So he asked his 91 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.680 daughter to make him a tape, a playlist of sad songs, and he's 92 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.199 listened to the sad songs and by the time you know it's time to shoot 93 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.639 the scene, he's got these songs in his head and he's thinking of old 94 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.439 things that used to hurt him make him cry. What made him sad and 95 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.319 then he could conjure up the emotion he needed to do the scene. And 96 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.120 Naron's like, yeah, same thing, same thing, man, same thing. 97 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.639 Man. I go there and I try to find things in my life. 98 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.360 Man, you know that's what you do. Man, it's not what 99 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.800 you do. I don't want to sell like an acting snob here. It's 100 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.519 not what you do. That's not That's a different thing. Substitution is a 101 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.079 different thing. When I studied the method, my teacher Mirror Rostovo, my 102 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:31.360 coach, Mirror Rostovo from Russia was tremendous, coach, Brando Montgomery Cliff, 103 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.560 so many Alec Beholden Madonna, not that she's a great actress, but great 104 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:43.360 performer. A lot of people, you know, Richard Kylie, Oh what's 105 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.120 on end, Jessica Lange anyhow, So Mirror was the whole thing was like 106 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:55.839 you old, substitute another crying memory of a dead dog and make that your 107 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.160 tears for your dead father or your marriage coming to an end. Those are 108 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.759 two different emotions. Your dead dog lying on the street is different from twenty 109 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.399 years of marriage going down the drain and the tears that might stir up in 110 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.079 you. You understand to different emotion. So Mira would say, it's as 111 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.319 simple as hard and as hard as this. You have to find that emotion 112 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.639 in the scene and make it real. It has to be the same emotion. 113 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.199 I don't care how you do it, even thoughf you haven't been married 114 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.439 or you've never lost a pet. You've got to find that emotion in your 115 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.639 body to know what the true, actual, true emotion is going on in 116 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.440 that scene, in that monologue what have you, And that'll produce the right 117 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.360 tears, and amazingly it'll produce the right tears and people watching it. I 118 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.440 didn't cry, but a rabra Mino was having a midlife crisis on vinyl. 119 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.480 I wanted to kill himself. They didn't bother me. It was like, 120 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.720 all right, guys, losing to stuff in mind. But you know, 121 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.200 when you see other movies with great dramatic actors, just a look on their 122 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.320 eyes, something makes you just I can't watch DeNiro and some of those older 123 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.240 movies. I can't watched Peccino in some of his movies because I just know 124 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.200 what's coming. They they grab you anyhow, So that bothered me. I'm 125 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.399 like, oh, no, wonder, I don't like them. On screen. 126 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.240 I liked them, but not as dramatic actors because they're not doing it 127 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.320 right. But any hello, I don't want to get to forty torny. 128 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.320 But with respect to f Murray Abraham, I'd like to know the joke of 129 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.399 the jokes he told. I can't see him. I can't see him being 130 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.840 creepy or over sexed, you know what I mean. They also got Jeff 131 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.200 Garland in the same in the same manner off his show The Goldbergs. Nothing 132 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.799 actually central was reported when he was taken down. It was said that it 133 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.240 was the way he was on set. He told stories and jokes and sin 134 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:48.360 of all sins, he was a hugger. You know. I have some 135 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.240 knowledge in when things like this happen. And when I produced a movie called 136 00:09:54.279 --> 00:10:00.759 so Be It, there was a sexual harassment charge that was leveled against one 137 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.320 of my co producers and then subsequently on my executive producer, and it was 138 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:13.000 all horseshit. And I'll tell you about that after the break. So yeah, 139 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.600 I have some knowledge about how this stuff works in an office. Maybe 140 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.360 you guys do too. This girl that worked with us, I'm not gonna 141 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.120 see her name, Honestly, I actually forgot her name, and that's horribles. 142 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.320 I worked with her for five years, but I threw out of my 143 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.919 mind when she did this. She was hard executive assistant secretary, always at 144 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.639 the front desk, you know. She handled a lot of things, took 145 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.200 Paul's, took messages, mailed athenex packages, whatever, anything that executive assistants 146 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.600 are asked to do. She did purposely. Wasn't a looker, you know, 147 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.720 because all of us had wives or girlfriends, and you know, don't 148 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.320 hire a sexy executive assistant because you know, it's all it could be an 149 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.000 issue with your wives or your girlfriends. It just it just could be, 150 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.639 you know, I gotta stay late. It was just me and so and 151 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.320 so. Oh really, what are you guys talking about? Nothing? I 152 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.559 was on the phone. But so in all to avoid that, a lot 153 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:07.720 of bosses will hire somebody who's not that hot. That was part of my 154 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.080 job when I first got there. He my buddy Adam, put me in 155 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.600 charge of also hiring people and bring them in and sit down in the twenty 156 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.799 minutes and talk to them. If they're too pretty as a girl, it's 157 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.120 an automatic no, all right, you gotta hire nothing higher than a seven. 158 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.720 That's it, and all right, I didn't anyhow, So this was 159 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.480 a money grab. The movie was about to be filmed, and she wasn't 160 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.440 really enjoying her time there. Got very hectic toward the end, trying to 161 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.480 raise seven million dollars shooting a movie, pre production, principal photography. It's 162 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.440 a lot distribution. There's a lot of shit, a lot of arguments, 163 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.039 a lot of blood, sweat and tears, literally, and she was She 164 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.759 knew she wasn't gonna be around there longer though after the movie was done, 165 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.519 so she's looking for some kind of payout, so she files this sexual harasment 166 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.399 suit against a co producer named Jerry. Armless guy. Jerry came in late, 167 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.919 didn't really raise a lot of dough, but he had like maybe nine 168 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.480 to ten clients that he got My fifteen grand have a piece. He couldn't 169 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.279 hit the he couldn't get the big numbers, but you know, we kept 170 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.639 them in there, and he went to task with the young, the people 171 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.279 who didn't have a lot of a lot of dought. But when he found 172 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.440 that this suit was filed against him, he got sick right away and had 173 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.039 to leave work. He really was legitimately sick older guy, you know, 174 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.919 in his mid seventies. At one time he worked wardrobe and a ton of 175 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:37.360 TV shows and movies. And then in the midst of this suit, he 176 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.320 dies. He wasn't that sick to die. We couldn't believe it. But 177 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.879 this ship that he was going through proved to be too much. He died 178 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.960 while he was looking for an attorney. And then the secretary just turned around 179 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.879 and turned his suit into a sexual harassment suit against my partner Adam, because 180 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.519 he's the one who rented the office where this hat and he was her immediate 181 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.399 boss. And guess what. He eventually settled with her, just handed a 182 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.200 ten thousand and she went away. This happens everywhere, not just in Hollywood, 183 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:15.200 and it's scary, but you know, it's like Jerry would come in 184 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.919 and ask all of us you care to go to lunch today? What are 185 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.039 you eating for breakfast? He just wanted company. Oh no, Jerry'm gonna 186 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.519 hang out here or whatever. And he had interesting stories. He wasn't like 187 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.320 the kind of guy you want to run away from. He was interesting. 188 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.200 He had some stories from the old days in Hollywood and who he worked with, 189 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.320 et cetera, that some bit parts, and you know, we would 190 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.360 just all being nice to him because he was a decent man. But he'd 191 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.519 come in to your office and asked, you do you want to get lunch? 192 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.799 Can I get you something? And he would say the same thing to 193 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.159 this secretary, except on top of that, he would say, I like, 194 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.840 I love your dress today. That's a very beautiful dress. Not stand 195 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.559 up, turn around, let me look at you. She was like twenty 196 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.000 eight, he's like seventy six. It's no romance gonna happen. No sex 197 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.919 is gonna happen. Jerry Ka Bailey walks straight, but this bitch calls its 198 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.480 sexual arrastment. It gets her ten grade. It just makes me sick. 199 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.240 It's happening everywhere. I remember one night I felt like I was going to 200 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.919 come under the gun too. I was headed to be on camera one of 201 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:18.240 the documentaries I'm in about Harvey Weinstein and his whole takedown. And these producers, 202 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.080 these two female producers from England have been in touch with me. We 203 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.120 really want you on board. You know, you're so good. You know 204 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.600 everybody aj we're gonna be in Hollywood these dates. Good for you? Yeah, 205 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.600 and I you know, I did my old thing. I have to 206 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.039 be paid because they don't pay anymore. They just they expect, you know, 207 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.879 they don't even offer money anymore. They say, hey, can you 208 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.720 come in and tell us everything you know about Harvey Weinstein so we can construct 209 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.000 the story and you know, then sell the documentary and make a lot of 210 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.720 money. Yeah, I can, but I'm not gonna do it. I 211 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.759 need you need to pay me for this information. It's only my information. 212 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.799 It's exclusive. You're not telling me what to say back to the camera, 213 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.919 like I see that constantly on TV shows. Now, you know, like 214 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.840 repeat the repeat the question in your answer, and the personal on camera will 215 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.279 go. The thing John Kennedy's mother was such that, like you're feeding the 216 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.759 talking head. No one ever has to feed me. I just go and 217 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.200 for that you gotta pay me. Anyhow, the house she chose to do 218 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.000 the filming it was way up in the height in the Hollywood Hills. I 219 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:26.039 hate driving up those winding roads, guardrails that act as if they might stop 220 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.960 you from plummeting to your death in the canyon below. They wouldn't stop you, 221 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.679 But a lot of people have driven off the cliffs in the Hollywood hills, 222 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:39.120 Jan and Dean for one. At the time, I was driving his 223 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:46.120 big Mercedes. Sorry that was Rocko calling about what Tommy's coming home to the 224 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.679 hotel. But anyhow, I'm driving this big Mercedes. It's not not a 225 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.440 van, but like a bigger a bigger issue of the I forget the letters 226 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.200 and the numbers. Don't ask me. I never care about you know the 227 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.200 letter old was there a three sixty year I don't give a shit. It 228 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.559 drove well, it was decent looking, let's take it. So I didn't 229 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.440 want to hit up that hill because it was a one way driveway, and 230 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.240 I knew that meant I would have to back down that hill. And it 231 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.679 was long. It wasn't like thirty feet, but talking like one hundred and 232 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.440 fifty foot driveway and a night in the dark with concrete walls on each side 233 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.080 of a narrow driveway. I was pissed because nobody can move the cause to 234 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.279 make me go down forward. So now I'm a little bit I got in 235 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.960 gods and gob in Italian, that means I'm a little bit pissed off. 236 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.360 I could go in any second. I can pop off at any second, 237 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.559 Godson, God, So I'm doing reverse. I got my hand over the 238 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.399 seat, looking back, straining my neck, looking at the rear views, 239 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.000 the side views, and she's kind of conducting me a little bit too right. 240 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.840 Yeah, you got this, just go straight straight, keep coming. 241 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.000 I'm like, I feel that I'm gonna hit that wall. None, you 242 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.960 got it straight, straight, good? Good. Then I hear a crunch. 243 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.279 I hit the fucking wall, back, rear bumper. It's all scratched 244 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:02.639 up. I go, Jesus Christ, and I started to get a little 245 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.599 bit of shit. I said, how thought you let me hit the wall? 246 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.519 You didn't see it? No, I thought you had. It's so 247 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.319 dark, I said, I know, it's so dark. That's what I 248 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.960 complained him out when I was first coming down the hill. I don't even 249 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.680 know why we're in this house. I love the view, I know, 250 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.400 but there's so many dues in Los Angeles that didn't thought to me up in 251 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.720 the Hollywood Hills. He'd go anywhere. Jesus. So, I'm like, 252 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.599 I'm a little bit heated up. And she was almost in tears. She 253 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.359 was like, I'm so sorry. I said, we'll pay for I said, 254 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.160 I know, but Jesus Christ, I just hate the whole Righam roll 255 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.240 of you know, getting something figs. I just hate that stuff, and 256 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.519 we got a good attiview says, she made a lot of fun up there. 257 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.440 And she's speaking to me through the driver's window, the windows rolled down, 258 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.200 and she's crying, go please, Agent. I'm so sorry. He 259 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.279 was so good up there. I said, don't worry, don't worry. 260 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.480 I put my hand on his shoulder, not in a caressing manner at all, 261 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.039 just to say, hey, it's okay. I'm sorry. I said, 262 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.680 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know you didn't do this on purpose. 263 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.480 Don't worry. As soon as my hand touched her upper arm, lower 264 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.720 shoulder, she recoiled as if I dropped the rattlestink in her lap. And 265 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.519 like I said, I was merely trying to console her for a second. 266 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.720 I wasn't standing up offering a hug. I just put my hand on her 267 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.559 arm to say, all right, I'm sorry, don't worry. She wasn't 268 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:19.119 even attractive. There's no malice in my gesture. But she went, don't 269 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:26.119 touch me like so aghast of which has happened like that. Don't touch me 270 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.519 like a movie. And this is like twenty nineteen, when every guy was 271 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.640 getting dragged through the mud, and I thought for a second, Jesus gives 272 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:40.519 a female producer heading a documentary producing a documentary which was which was made to 273 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.559 help take him down, and now she's recording. As I touch her, 274 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.920 I could see the headlights Weinstein pal accused of sexual misconduct. While filming a 275 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.519 doct about Weinstein's sexual misconduct. I said to it, Oh my god, 276 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.480 come on, I was just trying to be nice. Don't don't like I 277 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.720 was trying anything. Please Jesus, come on. And we both went on 278 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:11.720 our merry ways. But anyhow, throw f Murray Abraham on the pile of 279 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:17.200 dozens and dozens of older men who got kneecapped in this me to era. 280 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:25.200 By the way, I had told my Patreon audience for almost a year that 281 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:30.720 Alec Baldwood would never see a day in prison and the manslaughter charges against him 282 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.839 would be dropped. And today the big story in Shiptown is exactly what I 283 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:42.039 told my Patreon audience a long time ago. The charges against Balwin have been 284 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:48.480 dropped. There's a lot to comprehend with this deadly shooting on the set of 285 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.079 the movie Rust. Now this is like a movie that everyone's gonna want to 286 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.160 see now, not in the theaters, but at one point we're gonna want 287 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.079 to see that move where Bowind draws the gun. I hope they keep it 288 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.480 in. Maybe they won't because Helena Hutchins's husband is now a producer, he 289 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.119 probably doesn't want to see that I'll relive it. But now I'm interested, 290 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.200 and they're starting to film right now. I think today is the first day. 291 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.519 But I can only imagine how tone death the Instagram posts are going to 292 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.519 be from Hilaria Ball in the next few days. I can't can't make this 293 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.599 up. You got Chrissy teaging. She's got a new baby to show off, 294 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:30.119 and she's all over Instagram lately in the past month or so, showing 295 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.480 everything about a body, the baby, and her tits out she had side 296 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.039 boobs showing in the bathtub just has to be seen. And now the other 297 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:44.720 most insufferable woman on earth, Hilaria, is gonna go how you say banana, 298 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:51.240 it's loco and that's what Hilaria is gonna go loco to get pictures of 299 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.880 Alec coming home parties, cake banners, noisemakers, rattlers, all that shit, 300 00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:03.039 kids and T shirts. But look to get the full story, go 301 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.519 to patreon dot com. Slash Fame is a bit for more of my take 302 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:11.519 on Baldwin and others I've commented on for close to six years. I get 303 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.640 so many things right, and I'm fast, and you deserve to be there. 304 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:26.440 Now, then let's stay in the sexual misconduct space. The LA District 305 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:33.119 Attorney's Office is investigating claims of sexual assault made against the actor Army Hammer after 306 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.039 an ex girlfriend, remember, accused him of raping her. But now there's 307 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:44.039 more. They're probing and people are saying that the LAPD has presented a case 308 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:49.400 regarding Army Hammer to the LA DA's office and it's under review right now. 309 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:56.559 So get ready for more stuff on Army Hammer. Then I'm talking Hammers. 310 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.759 People aren't talking, but the d tails are a little unclear, But it 311 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:10.839 is known that Hammer's former girlfriend, Effie Angelova, accused him back three years 312 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:15.960 ago two years ago of violently raping her and abusing her mentally and sexually. 313 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:21.279 Back in twenty seventeen, he denied it. He denied any criminal wrongdoing. 314 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:26.279 Hasn't been charged in the case for now. At the time, he would 315 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.359 say through his attorney that his interactions with her during their four year relationship, 316 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:37.200 as well as with other girls, have been all consensual, discussed and agreed 317 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.440 upon in advanced and mutually participatory. This is a guy who not only says 318 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.680 I want to eat your heart. I'm one hundred percent cannibal, but also 319 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.839 he says things like I have a thing about somebody that I love. I 320 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.920 want to put you in a public space to tie you up and watch men 321 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.000 walk by you and see if they can have their way with you. But 322 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.319 I'm not there, blah blah while I'm there, but just looking on like 323 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:07.200 six ships six shit. Some women have accused him of being into cannibalistic fetishes 324 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:10.440 as well, and all these b DSM fantasies. He was really into rope 325 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.119 tying a couple of these girls, or three of them at least, and 326 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.240 they sased all the ropes that you know. They's got artwork of bondage women, 327 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.920 women in BDSM outfits and shit. He's really headlong into this stuff. 328 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.839 It's a great documentary I think it's on Netflix about their Army Hammer family going 329 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.160 back to his grandfather, maybe even his great grandfather. But all the men 330 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.559 had sick shit about them, whether it was alcoholism or or you know, 331 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:45.759 um just losing businesses through through through terrible practices or sex sex situations. It's 332 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.000 breaking the law. Every man in the Hammer bloodline is fucked up. So 333 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.480 it was only a matter of time for this to end up. All that 334 00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.920 DNA end up in Army Hammer's head and caused him to be such a fuck 335 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.480 up, such a fuck up that at one point, he said, he 336 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.839 contemplated suicide. He walked out into the ocean, swim out as far as 337 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.839 he could. First of all, swimming as far into the ocean as you 338 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.240 can is scary enough for me. I can't do that. I'm too afraid 339 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.559 of sharks. I'll go knee deep. I'll ride away or too with the 340 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.319 kids. But you ain't getting me in chest deep water. I'm too old, 341 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.359 fat, I can't out swim a shark. But I in twenties and 342 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.559 thirties I felt that had better chance of it. Now, no, no, 343 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:32.720 wait, but they're out there. But Army had'm a division of him 344 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:36.960 swimming out as far as he could swim and hoping that he either drowned or 345 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.440 was hit by a boat or eaten by a shark. That's what he thought 346 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.640 about doing. He actually was doing it, and this is out in the 347 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.519 Cayman Island. But he didn't do it because he looked around and stored his 348 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.839 kids on the beach and said, I can't leave my kids like this. 349 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:53.519 But what do they think of me if daddy just disappears like this? So 350 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.559 he came back, came to his senses, thank god. But he does 351 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:02.400 tell people, I'm here to own up to my mistakes, take accountability for 352 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.480 the fact that I was an asshole, that I was selfish, that I 353 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.599 used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, I 354 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:12.039 moved on. Yeah, because you know what it is. When you're a 355 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:18.160 big movie star and the girls are swimming around you like crazy, you have 356 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.680 to kind of remember, even for a half celebrity like me, it was 357 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.079 like you are a celebrity in their eyes. And when you allow a woman 358 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.240 or a younger girl, let's say twenty two twenty three. I know that's 359 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.000 a woman, but I'm talking about younger woman into your life. And you 360 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:40.799 have this fast paced life. Your friends are stars. The restaurants you go 361 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.720 to all love you. You got the best table, no reservation, everybody 362 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.720 calls your name out, You got money to burn your dress, right, 363 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.160 you got a nice car. Well, young girls, women in general get 364 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.200 very turned on by this, like Wow, this world is so great, 365 00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:00.200 and if the sex is good, and then you just abandon them and walk 366 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.519 away and go on to the next one. That causes a lot of not 367 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.400 only embarrassment in the woman, but anger, disillusionment, and you leave them 368 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.279 with this, this horrible taste in him. And I was like this, 369 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.200 look like, I'm just I had a year of that and now I'm done. 370 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.680 No more best restaurants, no more movie star meets, no more premiers, 371 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.000 no more parties. I lost all that, And you take it out 372 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.960 on the actor, But it's also the actor's fault for being, as Army 373 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.880 said, you know, kind of an asshole about things and selfish about his 374 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.519 feelings. And then, of course he blamed his behavior on the trauma he 375 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.720 says he suffered at the hands of a youth pastor who he says sexually abused 376 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:44.200 him when he was thirteen years old. I don't know, do we believe 377 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.599 this, Do we believe this? I kind of don't believe it, you 378 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.720 know, I just I think it's the way people go, like, I 379 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.440 don't want to say it, but I was abused you know. I just 380 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.640 when Harvey Weinstein was going through his shit, I remember saying to him, 381 00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:03.200 listen, are you sure there wasn't a rabbi or an uncle that didn't touch 382 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.240 you in the wrong places when you were a kid, Because Harvey, it 383 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.480 takes a monster to make a monster. And first he said no, no, 384 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.799 no, that never happened to me. Then he switched on a dime 385 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.559 and said, yeah, it did happen. But I can barely talk about 386 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:17.640 it. But when I get out of here, I'll write a book. 387 00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.160 You'll help me and I'll discuss that. Well. I was never gonna help 388 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.960 him write a book, but you know, it is a place to go 389 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.640 for a man to get away from stuff and go. It's not my fault, 390 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:32.440 it's what was implanted in my brain. I don't know it could be 391 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:36.680 true, but I kind of don't believe it either way. Army Hammer acted 392 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.839 like a creep. But nowadays you gotta be scared. You gotta be really 393 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.079 scared to date a woman. I'm sorry. I don't mean to a badmouth 394 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.880 women. I love women, but I can't trust all them. You don't 395 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.480 know what's running through their brain, what plans they have for you. If 396 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.720 you scorn them. What kind of revenge they have planned, What lies they're 397 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.519 willing to swear to in order to get you, you know, you back 398 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:06.960 after years after your relationship has ended. It happens. It happens, man, 399 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:14.880 anyhow, changing subjects, you know, I was also first and way 400 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.640 ahead of the pack when the rapper Coolio died, and I said to my 401 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.640 Patreon audience, they would they'll be drugs in this system, No, TMZ 402 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.119 said, complications with pneumonia. He was a smoke roll his life. Now 403 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.440 it just gonna be drugs all over Coolio, Mike Good. He probably went 404 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.119 to the hospital with drugs in his pocket. I know, guys, I 405 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.400 came. He gets high constantly. And of course, a few weeks back 406 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.160 we found out Sentino Crystal missed. You know, so I was right on 407 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:48.119 that, and I'm right again with Iron Carter's death. You must have heard 408 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.160 obviously he heard he died. But his ex fiance and mother of his child 409 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:59.480 is telling TMZ that the results of the autopsy that say that Aaron Carter died 410 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:04.480 as alt of drowning and they had found zanex in his system, and also 411 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:10.000 the fact that he was huffing compressed cans with gas in it, and that 412 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:11.839 gets you a very immediate high, to the point where you could pass out. 413 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.680 Heavy zannex use and huffing can make you pass out. And if you 414 00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.960 if you drew a bath for yourself and sitting at bath and you're huffing in 415 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.519 that room, and he took a bunch of zanix, you're gonna slip underwater 416 00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:30.480 and drown. That's what the That's what the medical examiners said. That was 417 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.880 the finding. He died as a as a result of drowning. The mother 418 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.680 of his child doesn't believe this. She doesn't like the fact that he was 419 00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:42.279 wearing a T shirt and a necklace in the bathtub, which doesn't make sense 420 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.759 a necklace. I wear every o all my jewelry in the bathtub. I 421 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.359 don't take bath much, but when I do, it's usually in Las Vegas 422 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.759 with a big tub. I don't take anything off. I take my T 423 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.759 shirt off naturally. But he was fucked up. He was fucked up, 424 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:02.279 So I think she's prying up their own tree here. To be honest with 425 00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:07.000 you, she says she's still in shock, but what she saw and what 426 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:12.440 she heard from the emmy doesn't make sense. That is closed on I missed 427 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.720 Aaron every single day. I don't understand the chain of events, and this 428 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:21.920 report only has us asking more questions. Look, he was a drunk addict. 429 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.039 We all knew it. We saw it on Instagram live, we saw 430 00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.880 it in his We know he did test on Doctor Phil. He came back 431 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.279 positive on a number of drugs. That guy was on a downward spiral for 432 00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:37.440 a long time. But the La County Emmy says their finding show he trowned 433 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:47.599 in the bathtub. He took generic zonex inhaled compress what's it called dive florathane, 434 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.200 which is the propellant used in cans of compressed air not gas air. 435 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:57.000 Sorry, And they say he became incapacitated while he was in the bathtub due 436 00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.519 to the effects of the drugs and the huffing, and he slipped under the 437 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:07.680 water and drowned, and they ruled his death accidental. You know, the 438 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:15.480 pictures of that bathroom really are upsetting because the water is a is a green 439 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.039 color, not brown green, it's green. I don't know if he could 440 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.319 I don't know what he put in that bath I don't know if his fecal 441 00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:29.640 manner made it turn that color, or his vomit was green or had he 442 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.240 eaten something green and it came I don't know what. It's such an ugly 443 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.400 color. And you see fecal stains on the bathroom floor and a bunch of 444 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:42.240 towels and shirts laid out because apparently he'd been in there a while and he 445 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.880 must have been puking or shipped himself, because that's what happens when you're dying, 446 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.720 when you're overdosing, that that happens. Did he shit in the water? 447 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:55.279 I don't know. It's all disgusting, but for her to talk about 448 00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:57.599 it over and over again, act like this doesn't seem right. You knew 449 00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:01.480 you were dating a drug ad. That's why you didn't want your kid around 450 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:07.319 him. That's why you went for the soul custody. Stop worrying about the 451 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.720 T shirt and the jewelry in the water in the bathtub makes it? Who 452 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:19.200 cares? You know? In her expertise in determining causes of death, it's 453 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:23.000 like on the same level as how do you how do you go about selecting 454 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:28.079 a fiance like Aaron Carter? I mean, I'm not gonna believe how you 455 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.799 determine causes of death. If you're the same person who actually said that's the 456 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.640 hill I want to die on, that's the car I'm driving off this lot? 457 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:40.640 Who would do that to complete fuck up a drug addict drowning because of 458 00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:46.640 negligence doesn't pay as well as a wrongful death murder case, does it. 459 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:51.920 So of course she's gonna push that agenda for herself and obviously for their child. 460 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.559 But I think her first mistake is to believe that Aaron Carter might behave 461 00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.119 in some sort of coherent logical manner. The bottom line is Aaron Carter was 462 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:08.839 a drug addict who died during a misadventure. I mean, I sort of 463 00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:14.880 understand her defending his memory for her sake and the kid's sake, But if 464 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.480 she loved him so much, what was he doing alone when he was in 465 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.880 such a vulnerable state and we all knew it because he was putting it on 466 00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:28.599 social media. Honey, he's gone. Let him rest in peace and look 467 00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:32.799 forward to working to making you or your kid's life the best it can be. 468 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.920 But you know, I hate to say it, that was just gonna 469 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.920 stay a nightmare forever. I'm sad that he died, but it never would 470 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.839 have made you and your kids safe for her, more happy by the way, 471 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.519 rough day for Bridget Fonda. I'm sure you saw the pictures. You 472 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.440 saw a picture of her months ago, and she's kind of the kind of 473 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:58.000 didn't want a piece of Hollywood anymore. So she retired some twenty years ago. 474 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.079 But last we saw of her, she was just cute, petite, 475 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:07.680 pretty blonde. But it was only a matter of time before paparazzi would eventually 476 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.960 find her and then, you know, do what they do, take a 477 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.199 bunch of pictures of her, and how unrecognizable she's become since she's stopped acting 478 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:22.119 and has become this recluse while packing on at least one hundred and fifty hundred 479 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:25.480 and seventy pounds for getting how to get a hair done, or wear a 480 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.920 makeup, or wear anything but a sweatshirt. That's the way she's been. 481 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:36.079 She's fifty nine years old. She really does look seventy seven. But she 482 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:42.559 was spotted by paparazzi as she made a rare outing going through Lax Airport. 483 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.559 She was wearing reading glasses the top her head, which was makeup free, 484 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.480 which is in vogue now, why way makeup? Where you're going to an 485 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:57.559 airplane and landing someplace. Maybe she does airplane makeup on the plane. I 486 00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:01.760 doubt it. Hairs in a ponytail. Her hair's gray now, I mean 487 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:06.719 just she just said, fuck you, Hollywood. I'm done. She had 488 00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.559 her eighteen year old son with her, Oliver Elfman, that's she and Danny 489 00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:13.920 Elfman's son. They made their way through the airport through the terminal, they 490 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:19.239 was snapped by a couple of different paparazzi rolling their own suitcases, carrying their 491 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:23.239 own bags in the escalade. Blah blah blah. When she got to the 492 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:29.480 curb, they chatted with the paparazzi for a few minutes and they were scrolling 493 00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:34.199 through their phones waiting for their ride. And as fun as Scud pulled up, 494 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:38.760 one of the paparazzi approached. Hi would submit impressions, and he said, 495 00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.599 everyone wants to know if you want to make a movie come back in 496 00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:47.199 Hollywood, And she couldn't say no quick enough. Is there a chance? 497 00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.199 He pressed, She said no and shook her head no. Then he began 498 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:57.960 to praise her for her iconic career. That's what paparazzi's doing, to give 499 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.199 you all this bullshit. Sugar up front. You know, they give the 500 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:04.679 worst picture of you in the in the press. But you know, look, 501 00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.519 she had like kind of career. She left in two thousand and two 502 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:14.119 to start a family with Danny Elfman and just pop Ronzi wouldn't let go. 503 00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:15.639 Oh my god, you were in some of the best movies god Father Part 504 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:22.599 three, Single white Female Jackie Brown, And once again she shot down his 505 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:28.079 question. She said, it's too nice being a civilian. I like that 506 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:32.679 answer. And then she told him there's no director who can ever convince me 507 00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:37.960 to make a comeback, and then she slammed the car door shut. Look, 508 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.880 you know what, she was a really good actress and a fetching beauty 509 00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.199 twenty seven years ago. Like I said, single my Female on Jackie Brown, 510 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.320 I loved it, but I didn't I didn't know how sexy she could 511 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.679 look. When I saw Jackie Brown. That scene was she's making fun of 512 00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:58.639 Robert de Niro who couldn't find his car in a mall shopping shopping lot, 513 00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:05.800 and Bridget Fund that has this tank top on shorts, little jean shorts. 514 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.000 I think so sexy. I think, yeah, I think I read she 515 00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:13.280 put like um rubber cutlets in a broad because some chest is not big. 516 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.280 But in this scene, she's walking quickly behind de Niro and they're bouncing. 517 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.679 I'm like, that's bridget find that, Jesus Christ. I didn't kN that, 518 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.079 but that was all done with, you know, rubber whatever you call 519 00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:28.159 him, silicon, what do they called cutlets? Whatever the hell? But 520 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:30.360 she's behind DeNiro, can find his car, and he's in a mood I 521 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:34.519 talked about in Dons and gob That's where DeNiro's at right now. He wants 522 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:38.119 these bees fucking pissed off. And she's going, can find your car, 523 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:44.639 Lewis? Is this the al you parked your car, Lewis? Lewis? 524 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.639 Is this the ale? Hey? Did gus? Do you lose your car? 525 00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:51.920 You? Rob Banks? What the fuck up you are? Where's your 526 00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.360 car? Lewis? And DeNiro just snaps, grabs up, puts his fist 527 00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:59.039 back like the puncher in the face, which you can never see in a 528 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:02.119 movie. Again, he's hyperventilating. He wants to strangle it. He's like, 529 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:06.880 hey, don't say nothing else, don't say anything else, okay, 530 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:10.360 just keep your mouth shut, keep it shut, and she goes, whoa, 531 00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:15.320 And that was it. It said them all No another word, don't 532 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:20.679 say another word you and she goes okay. Lewis whips out a gun and 533 00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:25.280 shoots her dead in the parking lot. It's it is hard to see how 534 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.320 she let herself go. Like I said, married to the film composer Danny 535 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.159 Elfman. But he's a weirdo too. I don't know if there's any sex 536 00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:38.280 there and beyond this kid being born because they both look insane. But luckily 537 00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:43.920 give her any shit over this, I'm not She did some quality movies and 538 00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:49.039 then felt like it was not what she liked anymore. I not respect for 539 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:53.880 her, wanting anonymity and a normal life. Hopefully this hunt for her will 540 00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:58.760 slow down and she'll he gained more privacy. They did it to Shelley Duval, 541 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.280 remember who mental illnesses, and he took her on Doctor Phil. They 542 00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:07.559 stopped picture of everywhere. Now she's actually coming back down and I think she's 543 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:09.840 in a movie sooner or about to start a movie. So they do this, 544 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:15.000 they the vultures man. Now they have to find that she's their next 545 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:20.960 carcass I say, leave bat if someone like her with a great career resume 546 00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:27.639 behind her from a Hollywood dynasty family can walk away. What the hell does 547 00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.760 that tell you about that business as a whole. That's what I want to 548 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:37.159 know. Because the name alone, Bridget Fonda, Peter Fond, the Henry 549 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:42.039 Fonder. You got people that family that have done iconic films. She can 550 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.719 have stuck around for a long time and acted into her eighties if she wanted. 551 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:51.320 But she wants a different life for a kid, and Elfin's making a 552 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.679 ton of money as a film composer. Bridget feels like, screw it. 553 00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:59.840 I'm kicking back. So I don't have anything against people who want a normal 554 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:04.960 life, because eventually, no matter what you're chasting, no matter what you're 555 00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:07.880 shooting for, you always want to balance it out with a normal life. 556 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:13.559 But if Hollywood was not in the picture, you can have that normal life 557 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:19.360 really easy without the stress of this bullshit town. So I say good for 558 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:22.880 her and back off. I'm a J Benza. That was your free show 559 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:27.480 for Friday, April twenty one, twenty twenty three.
