A theater in Massachusetts issued an apology to customers following an appearance by Richard Dreyfuss on Saturday night which caused many to boo the Oscar-winner while many walked out on the performance. Dreyfuss, 78, was appearing at The Cabot in Beverly, Massachusetts, for a question and answer session followed by a screening of Jaws, the mega hit which launched his career in 1975.
Dreyfuss is accused of making derogatory remarks about members of the LGBTQ community, women in Hollywood as well as his collaborators. 'We deeply regret that Mr. Dreyfuss's comments during the event were not in line with the values of inclusivity we uphold at The Cabot,' the press release began. We understand that his remarks were distressing and offensive to many of our community members, and for that, we sincerely apologize.' 'At The Cabot, we are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members of our community. The views expressed by Mr. Dreyfuss do not reflect our beliefs, and we do not endorse them in any way.'

Even as an Oscar-winning A-list actor, Richard Dreyfuss never really fit in with the Hollywood crowd.
“There are people who now think that opposing views are un-American,” he tells Glenn.
Today, that toxic belief has been spread across the country, and he couldn’t stay silent.
Having grown up communist, he’s seen this before, and he believes the root issue is simple: Our schools no longer teach civics.
To fight back, he founded the Dreyfuss Civics Initiative and wrote his new book, “One Thought Scares Me.”
His hope is to save America by encouraging conversations between people with opposing views. He lives by this.
In his own words, he’s a “Lib-o-Conserve-o-Rad-o-Middle of the road-o,” and has been for years.
And of course, he’s gathered plenty of stories over those years: Activism, drugs, James Dean, the 1960s, the consequences of celebrity feuds, the power of a good teacher …
Oh, and a story about how his great-grandaunt may have assassinated a Russian Emperor.
You’re right. Their much proclaimed ‘inclusivity’ only includes themselves and other pet democrat victim groups.
Conservatives are ‘inclusive’ too... we extend out welcome to the NRA folks, straight men and women, two parent families, church members etc.

Well, that's good enough for me. If they say he said something, he MUST have said it. Sort of like simply being accused of being a racist (usually by an actual racist) is enough for you to be determined to be a racist.
Did he recently get mugged?
I think I have found the true conflict between Dreyfuss and the Cabot.
“The actor has long been outspoken about his belief in the constitution.”
The supreme irony is that Dreyfuss likely voted for Biden, but nothing is ever good enough for the Left.
Dunno about that, but Brandon Straka is gay, and that wasn’t good enough for the Left when he founded #WalkAway in opposition to his former political party (Democrats).
Definitely.
It’s never enough when the left’s goal is change for change sake and induce chaos and to not reach any particular goal other than power.
This is not just opinion. It is based on many leftists have said.
