The Senator Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 2 minutes ago, Doc said: If he did it, yes he won't escape that. And he's apparently planning on suing the city. If the case is sealed, does that mean the city can mount no real defense? Well the DA has already proven he’s corrupt, now he’s proven he’s a freaking stupid moron for failing to indemnify the city against such nuisance suits. Maybe Michele can intervene with the judges and have any lawsuit dismissed. Or maybe she’ll intervene the other way, and have her lying pal awarded $100M. .

He wasnt very big of an actor before this, he doesnt have the star power to help him come back like bigger stars..... The flipside is he just sky rocketed his appeal in a niche that may rabidly support him. Even if 90% of Netflix viewers boycott a movie, if he now takes almost the entirety of the remaining 10% it can be a successful release (I know the percentages are random and arbitrary and not accurate estimates even) Edited March 28, 2019 by NoSaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actors may welcome back Exec's might welcome him back if they thought he could make money for them But the real question is, will the nobody's behind the camera welcome him back? Writers, show runners, camera operators, make-up specialists, etc? These are the people who make a successful show but are paid significantly less than the on screen actors. Are they going to hitch themselves to somebody whose off-screen behavior or on-line presence may cause a backlash that costs them their livelihood?

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I can't remember the last time I've seen such a unified response from almost everyone on this. It seems like everyone short of family and friend is so against this guy. I can't see this working out too well for him and landing new roles. He's poison for at least a few months anyway. I don't know how long that lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Well, he wanted attention....and he got attention. Pee Wee Herman says not all attention is good attention. That’s the type of attention he got and about how he will be remembered for his 15 minutes of shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah....he's already so polarizing I think the people who like him will still like him and those who dislike him will still dislike him as well. I really dont think there's much he can do either way to change people's minds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be thanking whatever he can that he didn't end up with anything worse, and possibly see if that Subway is hiring. Sometimes you just need to realise you screwed up, got lucky things didn't end up worse, and just never speak of it again. Instead he took the route of trying to continue trying to get attention and push things further which usually makes things worse when those your continuing to piss off (the cops) are going to make things worse and get you on something else. Kind of reminds me of OJ, instead of realizing he literally got away with murder and getting out of the public spotlight to live the rest of his life free, he continued to try and get some spotlight and made things worse which lead him to jail on something stupid. The support he is getting reminds of of the support that was given to Michael Jackson, and even OJ at first where they believed he was innocent because of race. Had he been white, he would not have been given the support and they would be blaming him getting away with it on him being white and white privilege. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
