Today's Blind Items - A Sordid History
You won't see any of this on that online tabloid site that normally would be all over this. They have been instructed by their higher up corporate bosses to stay quiet. If they get a chance, they can say something bad about any of the accusers. So far, they have not had a chance, but with several outstanding claims still to be settled, the corporation would love nothing more than to find some dirt on the people filing claims and have them splashed online.
There was a fairly popular cable show that this actor was headed for a promotion to series regular. Instead, he was fired. Reason? When he cornered an actress on the show and when she tried to resist his advances had her clothes torn from her body. Literally the dress was shredded and the bra torn in half. His explanation was that she had been teasing and flirting with him and wanted him but was playing hard to get. He knew she liked it rough and was just showing her she did.
Fast forward a year or two and our actor had another chance at promotion to series regular on a network hit. There was the extra he beat up because he felt the extra was making a move on a female extra that he was sure wanted to sleep with the actor. This was not his first incident on that show. Other female extras had complained he pressured women each week to have sex with him. If they didn't, he would harass them until they wanted to quit.
The firing he is most famous for though involved well over two dozen complaints including some that the company has paid out well over a million bucks to settle. Apparently the married actor felt like he was the boss and everyone worked for him or was there to serve his bidding. If you were a woman then you obviously wanted to sleep with him and if you didn't, he made your life crap. If you didn't do what he wanted and show him deference, he would make your life miserable. Violence was his number one method of it. There is not one person he has worked with in his last few jobs that has anything nice to say about him, but no one said anything to anyone else at any other show so he just moved from show to movie to show spreading disaster in his wake.
