Whoopi Goldberg is defending Tom Cruise after leaked audio of the star chastising “Mission: Impossible” crew members violating COVID protocol went viral.

“You know, some people don’t understand why he would get so angry,” Goldberg said on Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” adding, “I get it.”

I think he was right to do it. Maybe over the top but he's the producer, the boss, so the buck stops with him and a few guys refusing to comply with COVID protocols could very likely result in his insurance getting yanked (which he implied was a real threat he was dealing with) or the government shutting it down. Millions of dollars and lots of jobs on the line.

That said, all hollywood is make believe so it's at least plausible that Cruise wanted audio out there that shows how super serious he is about COVID protocols to protect himself from liability issues. He is an actor, after all, so over the top outrage isn't something he couldn't pull off.

But Occam's Razor tells me that when a guy who is pretty nutty goes off on a tirade (justified or not) then the simplest explanation is 'the nutty guy lost his cool' and it's legit.

I did not know Whoopi was still alive, she must be in her 90s now.

I think you’re right.

Vulgarity aside it makes him look strong and good.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was all a setup and fake ‘leak’.

Steve Jobs would read the riot act like this to his managers and he was viewed as a legend

That’s Why he’ll be running a ****** ******* movie Studio 20 years from now.

He knows the regulations are complete ***** ***** but also he knows that some government hack weasel would be a hero to his weasel government hack friends if he was the guy that shut down “The latest $200 M Cruise movie”.

No masks, no 6 feet. It obviously ain't about the virus.

Cruise had a good point, and his crew has to understand that right now everyone in his industry is looking at his set to see if they can operate under the current COVID demands.

Stupid demands or not, any apparent failure to do so gets everything shut down, and tens of millions of dollars go ‘poof’ with the accompanying folks becoming unemployed.

Someone costs me and mine 10s of millions of dollars, and I’d be yelling too.

Indeed California under lock down and Hollywood is exempt from all rules.
California liberal logic in action.
