Are ppl shading oprah?
Iiirc, his victims varied in race. If they were all Black, I doubt the film would be made and make it all the way to sundance tbh
Also, I feel like ppl (not russell) who bring up their daughts are so disengenous. and then some ppl who have parents that are predators (of other ppl) project onto the situation, too, which is really sad.
I am saddened she pulled out, but I think linking this info though "sources" is the least she could do.
Also, obligatory fuck br*tt ratner

Russell is a piece of shit who has gotten away with this abuse for far too long and it’s pathetic he is using his daughters to try and silence his victims. There are at least 11 different women accusing him.
This is also a man who at 34 was dating a 17 year old. That’s disgusting.
