Things are really seeming to fall apart for LeBeouf.

https://variety.com/2020/film/news/shia-labeouf-career-abuse-allegations-1234874581/

He left Olivia Wilde's next movie a few months ago, and at the time it was rumored to be because of "scheduling conflicts". Now it's being reported that he was fired because everyone loving hated working with him.

quote:

It turns out that wasn’t the full story. Variety has learned LaBeouf was dropped from the film. Though shooting had not started yet when LaBeouf departed, insiders close to the project say LaBeouf displayed poor behavior and his style clashed with the cast and crew, including Wilde, who ultimately fired him.

...

“He is not an easy guy to work with,” a source close to the film says, adding that LaBeouf was “off-putting” to those associated with the project, particularly Wilde, who is known to build collaborative sets with a “zero rear end in a top hat policy.”

Last week, Wilde was one of many women who lent their support on social media to FKA Twigs, the singer, dancer and actress, who dated LaBeouf for roughly a year after meeting him on the set of “Honey Boy.” Last week, FKA Twigs made headlines after she filed a bombshell lawsuit, alleging sexual battery against the actor and painting a lurid picture of the former Disney child star, who was accused of verbal and physical abuse, ranging from violent attacks to strangulation.

Stories like this, coupled with the (obviously more serious) abuse suit may kill his career once and for all.

This won't hurt him that much, sadly. The reason why LaBeouf's career has been so eclectic lately is that much like Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson, he made so much money early in his career that he decided to just gently caress around and do whatever he wants. That might come to an end, sure, but he won't have to get a job at McDonald's or anything.

yea isn't this exactly what happened (minus the assault stuff I guess?) for his post Transformers career? He tried to do some stuff, nobody liked working with him so he went into his weird performance art poo poo that he can do solo, and now he's trying to do movies again and everyone hates him yet again. He's gonna do some weird poo poo for a couple years.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Nah, he actually just went on a streak of being in a bunch of poo poo with big name actors and directors directly after Transformers 3. Like to be fair he also lost gigs due to being a tremendous rear end in a top hat with brain problems, but it didn't hurt him getting high profile work any.

One of the more famous stories is Shia getting fired from a play with Alec Baldwin. This happened after Shia showed up at acting classes Baldwin was teaching to harass him, because he didn't like that Baldwin wasn't memorizing his lines as quickly. Ben Foster filled in for Shia.

Update to the Danny Masterson cases.

https://deadline.com/2020/12/danny-masterson-cases-must-go-through-church-of-scientology-mediation-judge-rules-1234663779/

quote:

A judge has ruled that stalking and intimidation cases brought by four women against actor Danny Masterson must be mediated by the Church of Scientology.

On Wednesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Steven Kleifield ruled that the civil complaints must be settled by the Church of Scientology in “religious arbitration” because an arbitration agreement already exists that compels any disputes to be handled in that manner.

That means harassment complaints from Chrissie Carnell Bixler, her husband, musician Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and two Jane Does are now back in the Church’s hands. The judge did not rule on a similar complaint by Marie Bobette Riales , who was not a Church of Scientology member and did not have an arbitration agreement.

Masterson is scheduled for arraignment on three charges of rape between 2001 and 2003 on Jan. 6. That criminal case is still moving forward, but could be postponed by courts that are struggling to keep up with backlogs during the pandemic.

The women claimed Masterson raped or sexually assaulted them in the early 2000s, but did not report the assaults to the LAPD until late 2016 and early 2017. After talking to the police, they claimed they were harassed and threatened by alleged agents of the Church of Scientology.

I'm sure the Church of Scientology deacons or whatever are going to be real fair when adjudicating this.

Forced mediation should be loving illegal.

Exploration is ill-advised.
That religious arbitration is a thing at all indicates the USA is a third world country.

The origin of the phrase "third world country" meant countries that weren't aligned with the US or the USSR during the cold war.

I've recently listened to a podcast guest starring Mike Rinder (the ex-Scientology fixer who left and now does a bunch of anti Scientology shows and podcasts with Leah Remini) and he said that Scientology's obsession with being recognized as a religion and getting tax exemption was never about the money (they have plenty of that) but because of the butt load of legal protections and lack of prosecution that churches get under freedom of religion laws. This is a prime example.

This is notable because she testified in UK court that she had donated all of her settlement to charity.

It's a Daily Mail exclusive, apparently. Supposedly it is coming from Depp's lawyers. Daily Mail's reputation aside, I assume they wouldn't just make up the lawyers' saying it or forge their own documents. Might not be verified, but it is the latest turn.

So grain of salt, yada, yada, yada.

A rich celeb welshing on a donation is nothing new or interesting.

Pretty sure by now everyone thinks Depp is a drunken, drug addled mess of an abuser and Heard is a raging manipulative pyschopath (also an abuser? not sure how that shook out). Not really sure if people are still lining up to seriously argue a "side" if there even is one.

Some of the "grand old men" of Danish television have been fired for allegations dating back around 20 years. One (Jens Gaardbo) has kept a fairly low profile, the other (Jes Dorph-Petersen) is all :qq: about it.

Can't find any English articles, but so far MeToo is having actual consequences here.

Was it consensuel or non-consensual BDSM? Because that makes a big difference.

Within the context of the fantasy. Like how you can be into doctor/patient roleplay while also knowing that would be a horrible breach of professionalism and power in real life.

e: although Hammer appears to be very into blood IRL. Which is a creepy fetish to have but isn't unknown.
