I love Neve Campbell. (Yes, it's incredibly unfair this happened but she's still here, still making movies and he isn't. I'll take that victory.)

Risky to do so but good for her cause standing up for yourself is never easy. At least she has that.

Gross of the way he called Gwyneth "Gwynny"....pig!

I'm a little surprised he didn't demand that the plot of 3 be changed. Although I could see him being so arrogant that he didn't see a parallel to his own behavior.

I could almost see a slight self-approval of it from him just cause in that timeframe and cultural attitude the whole casting couch thing really was seen as haha/blasé thing.

It was always known to obvs be bad but even in black comedy/satirical stuff they didn't really address how bad it was...just went along with it like oh it's just a normal hollywood thing.

So he didn't care cause there was a funny element to it.

On the other hand he clearly didn't like when Courtney Love alleged it on the red carpet once cause she got blacklisted from her agency as a result.

Right? It makes me think of men like the guy from Law and Order though. They work on projects that highlight sexual abuse, while hiding their own abuse. It’s like a perfect cover for them.

I hope he’s having the worst possible day in prison right now.
