    I wasn’t aware of all that. That’s really shitty and gross of him to defend Polinski and Weinstein. How tf was he not canceled during the “woke” cancel wave of the mid-2010s?

      Because he wasn’t accused of doing things himself. And if I recall the verbal assault was against people of any gender, not just women.

      You’d be shocked and disgusted at the number of famous actors and directors who stood up for Polinski back in the day. Not even that far back in the day; he’s received several lifetime achievement awards since running away from the charges, and film awards as recently as 2019.
