Just wondered really. I was talking to my brother about House of Cards and how he thinks its not the same. And what a good Actor he is. Then we couldnt remember what he was arrested for and if he was ever up in court. Not much on the internet .

A raving sexual predator, apparently.

He should be in jail. Like Saville, there were rumors about him for years.

PayingGuests · 22/11/2018 09:32

I never knew he was like Saville. I didnt know anyone could be 😒

Not in court, not in jail. However apparently hasn't been seen at all for over a year. Vanished.

Supposed to be hiding in the South of France.
He should be in prison but that's crooked Hollywood for you.

Rumours about him for years until finally his house of cards fell

Read an article last week that suggested he was either living a Tom Ripley-esque life on some estate in the south of France or that he was on some South Pacific island.

Allegedly being funded by very wealthy/influential circle of friends.

Creep.

I think that his whole career fell apart over something (to the best of my knowledge) singular and unproven. I might be wrong - that's as far as I understood it/ followed the story.

However, the rumours about him were such that my take on the above is that the industry knew much more would be likely to come out so cut ties immediately as damage limitation.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 22/11/2018 10:37

Saville like really?
I hadn't thought he was that bad? I thought it was more predator than abuser.

raisedbyguineapigs · 22/11/2018 10:38

I agree yourvagesty. The extent people went to to remove all trace of him from their programmes and films makes me think he got away with a lot and he could have taken a lot more people with him if they hadn't gone big and disappeared him.

A580Hojas · 22/11/2018 10:41

This is a good summary of the accusations against him

No mention of the notorious dog walking at 4am in South London incident, I see.

Some sort o nasty sex scandal finished him off, if I remember rightly. I didn't know much about him but my son liked House of Cards and mentioned it. I believe Christopher Plummer replaced him.

Rachelover40 · 22/11/2018 11:09

I meant 'of' not 'o'.

PayingGuests · 22/11/2018 22:36

Its bizarre to think how they get away with it for so long. All the A Listers that have been side by side with him. All the right on political ones.

That video was the creepiest thing I've seen in a while. I thought for a second it was a mistake and it was an outtake from House of Cards, it something he had done himself. What the hell is going on in his mind! He clearly thinks he is being clever with that video.

Fuckyousanta · 27/12/2018 15:34

Amazed there hasn’t been a thread about that video

He is off his fucking rocker

HowlsMovingBungalow · 27/12/2018 15:37

Creepy narc!

IHaveBrilloHair · 27/12/2018 15:38

I read being hidden so he doesn't bring the rest of them down.

Confusedbeetle · 27/12/2018 15:52

A new accusation is about to go to court, groping a young man in a bar

Terfing · 27/12/2018 17:32

That video is so bizarre. A good example of toxic masculinity.

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 27/12/2018 17:52

Eewww

EachandEveryone · 27/12/2018 18:53

Didnt someone see what he was doing and its on video or something?
