One one side you have a rich, powerful, loved movie star. A bit quirky and with addiction problems but regarded as mostly harmless.
On the other you have a c-list bi-sexual actress who is known to be physically violent and to make up stories about abuse that did not happen.
They marry, they separate and actress claims that he abused her.
In a movie the poor downtrodden actress would have been horribly abused and the old boy network would have protected the husband.
But this is real life.
And in real life it is the actual victim of physical abuse, the husband, who loses his career and his reputation.
And he is now trying to get a bit of it back.
So, as far as that goes, it is a informative look at how the system treats men. Even liberal men. Who have pretty much never put a liberal foot wrong.
And if they do not get the benefit of the doubt then what chance does your average Joe have?
Yeah. It has broader social implications.
