Frank Langella is CANCELLED!

Deadline said:
On April 14 of this year, I was fired by Netflix for what they determined to be unacceptable behavior on set. My first instinct was to blame. To lash out and seek vengeance. I interviewed crisis managers, tough connected lawyers, the professionally sympathetic at $800 per hour. Free advice was proffered as well:

“Don’t play the victim.” “Don’t sue. They’ll dig into your past.” “Sign the NDA, take the money and run.” “Do the talk shows, show contrition, feign humility. Say you’ve learned a lot.”

Apologize. Apologize. Apologize.

On March 25 of this year, I was performing a love scene with the actress playing my young wife. Both of us were fully clothed. I was sitting on a couch, she was standing in front of me. The director called “cut.” “He touched my leg,” said the actress. “That was not in the blocking.” She then turned and walked off the set, followed by the director and the intimacy coordinator. I attempted to follow but was asked to “give her some space.” I waited for approximately one hour, and was then told she was not returning to set and we were wrapped.

Not content with sexually assaulting his younger co-stars in public, according to Mr. Langella himself, he engaged in a literal orgy of degenerate behavior on set, no doubt thinking himself immune and insulated due to his status as an Old Rich White Man of Hollywood.

Deadline said:
When you are the leading actor, it requires, in my opinion, that you set an example by keeping the atmosphere light and friendly. Nevertheless, these were some of the allegations: 1. “He told an off-color joke. 2. “Sometimes he called me ‘baby’ or ‘honey.’” 3. “He’d give me a hug or touch my shoulder.”

“You cannot do that, Frank,” said our producer. “You can’t joke. You can’t compliment. You can’t touch. It’s a new order.”

THE NEW ORDER

Tldr
He made an off color joke once.

Also, during a sex scene, he went off script and touched the actress' leg. This traumatized her. They had to stop shooting for the day and hire trauma therapists for $800 an hour.

But even worse, he touched her shoulder once. And the sickest crime of all? He gave her a hug.

I don't think it's unfair to say it was wrong that Langella insisted he *should* get to feel up the actress after he was already told in advance not to, just because he thought it was "in character" to do so. Just because you're acting doesn't give you a free pass to behave as you please, just like you can't shoot people for real (unless you're Alec Baldwin).

That's it.

This is retarded.

He touched her leg in an inappropriate manner during a sex scene. Even his own version of events made it clear that he was explicitly told in advance not to do this, but rejected that instruction because he felt that he was entitled to act as he saw fit regardless of the actress' consent.

That's bullshit.

They were both fully clothed.

I've seen our president do worse to children, on live TV.

I don't give a fuck if he touched her leg.

Biden getting away with something does not in any way excuse this guy literally going off-script.

Using Biden's misbehavior to downplay what this guy did wrong because it's not as "bad" is an excellent example of "whataboutism" at it's most vile.

Don't give a shit.

These Biden supporters watch this dude touch children and don't care, want to act upset when an actor touches a fully clothed adult's leg.

He touched her leg. That's not a problem. That's what you people act upset about? I bring up Biden because I don't believe you.
