Yeah, I can see them firing Jeremy Piven or Adrian Grenier if they make gay or Asian jokes. Many of the Entourage cast members have been accused of sexual harrasment by female guest stars and Ellin seems to have responded in many of the cases of firing the actress for making a deal about it. What makes you think that Ellin will back up his words if one of the offenders in this case is one of his five leads?
Steve McQueen was in a Ford ad last year and he died in the 70s. Audrey Hepburn was in a Gap ad a few years ago after her death. John Wayne, Groucho Marx, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and other dead celebrities have appeared in other ads. Natalie Cole won a Grammy for a duet with her dead father. Why all the uproar now? Spade and DirecTV haven't done anything different than the Gap, Coke, or Ford has with zero backlash.
Go read Samantha Geimer's grand jury testimony and tell me that he didn't rape her. She repeatedly told him no. Sorry, but even in 1977, no still meant no. She did not consent. Besides, there is no state in the Union that gives a 13 year old the authority to give consent to sex with someone over 18. Even if she did consent to having sex which she flatly denies she did, it is still rape.
People who quote "Wanted and Desired" got the facts wrong. The judge told Polanski if he went to prison for a psych eval, he would go with the advice of the evaluators. He was supposed to spend 90 day, he spent 42. What wasn't covered by the one-sided documentary was that Polanski offered his doctors movie roles in exchange for an early release and a great evaluation.
Also, that documentary has already been exposed for having at least one account (the most damaging one at that) being totally fabricated. Who knows if there aren't others.
Also, Angelica Houston was not present at the start of the rape and arrived sometime after the rape started.
What also wasn't covered in the documentary was that Polanski lied to Ms. Geimer's mother (who didn't deliver her daughter to Polanski, but Polanski picked up Ms. Geimer to bring her to a shoot) by telling her that French Vogue had committed to run the pictures of her daughter like they did with Polanski's pictures of Brooke Shields. French Vogue had not approved of any photo shoot.
