The New York Times has been accused of 'killing' an expose of abusive and bullying Hollywood producer Scott Rudin, who was one of the biggest advertisers in the paper's Arts and Leisure section.

The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday claimed that the paper had a story with named sources in early 2020.

The story was timed to run before the weekend of the Oscars, on February 9, 2020.

Believe her... unless he has a big pending ad-buy.

"Rudin is accused of being verbally and physically abusive to staff. He's known for throwing things and sent two staffers to the hospital, one for stress and one whom he dropped a computer monitor on their hand"

"Others described Rudin screaming at them from such a close distance that his spit landed on their faces.
'When you feel his spit on your face as he's screaming at you, saying, 'You're worth nothing,' it obviously makes an impact, and we're young,' one of his former assistants said."

Someone should have punched him in his fat mouth. On the way out of the building they should have told him to learn how to shave too.

The New York Times, the propaganda rag that prides itself on how it covered up the atrocities of Communist Russia, would certainly have no qualms about covering up the behavior of one of their advertisers.

At the same time, this story wouldn't rise to the level of earning Walter Duranty Award for hiding murder.

Among the allegations in the Hollywood Reporter story was a pattern of Rudin throwing objects at his staffers - including a glass bowl and a baked potato.

Was it loaded?

He like all the other liberals were known for their behavior for years if not decades in the entertainment industry. The actors who cover up so they can get a job only help the bad people.

See the networks and their rapists and pedophiles and general bad behavior that they covered up. To them Hollywood people are just the same kind so they protect them.

I saw the movie and glad I didn’t share it with the wife.
