July 2, 2002 -- Deposed king of Hollywood Michael Ovitz has finally gone off the deep end - blaming gays for his ruination.

In a stunning on-the-record diatribe in the new issue of Vanity Fair, Ovitz lashed out at what he called Hollywood's "gay Mafia" for stabbing him in the back and secretly wrecking his deals.

Diller's a fag, there's major rumors of Michael Eisner being gay....is it any wonder that the Homosexual Agenda is working full time in our pop culture when the kings of pop culture are gay?

[sneakypete]

Take a close look at all those names,and then try to explain to me how leftist Jews don't dominate Hollywood and the entertainent industry. I'd be willing to bet even the ones whose names don't "sound" Jewish are Jews whose names were "Angelized".

BTW,this isn't directed at you,Kattracks. It's directed towards that part of the the FR readership that starts sceaming "Lies" and "anti-Semite" any time mention of this is made.

Geffen reacts: 'This is so crazy. This is insane. I think he needs a psychiatrist. It's so paranoid, and so crazy, and so irresponsible, and makes him look like such a nut. On a scale of 1 to 10 crazy, it's 11.'


Diller: 'Wow... wow, wow... A statement like that is... worse than unfortunate. It's fairly rotten.'

I doubt Lourd and Huvane are Jewish. The thing is these Jews are Jews in name only. They probably sit down to a seder dinner once a year at passover. For sure, Jews are God's own chosen people, they are unbelievably smart and talented. These particular Jews are totally secular and would sell out Israel. These Jews and their compadres are either gay or embrace a totally hedonistic lifestyle which is being foisted on our culture. God will bless Michael Ovitz for saying it. To say there isn't a huge percentage of liberal Jews in Hollywood, at the very top of the food chain is like saying Mormon's don't control much of Utah. For heaven's sake, their in the majority, of course their in control. V's wife.

Just FYI. I formerly worked in the television promotion business. We created animated on air graphics and campaigns for prominent television and cable companies. At one point, we got a visit from the People For the American Way. I met with the top three guys, all Jews, one a rabbi!!! They announced to my boss, a Jew, that they were a division of a Norman Lear company (this is 1988, PFTAW were fairly unknown) and that they were buying up television stations in the rural south--West Virginia, Tennessee, etc.--because they wanted to counteract the fundamentalist Christian presence their. They said this in front of me because they probably thought I was Jewish--I am black Irish, very dark hair.

I am not kidding, if I had a 3/4" machine handy, I could tell you the stations call letters by reviewing my old demo tape. V's wife.

Gee, I just feel so BAD for Michael Ovitz.

The thing is these Jews are Jews in name only.

I don't think there is much question about this. They are only "Jews" when it is profitable ("hey,do some business with a fellow Jew!")or when it's convenient(charges of anti-Semitism against anybody who oppose them).

For sure, Jews are God's own chosen people,

Since I don't believe in God,I ain't buying that one!

they are unbelievably smart and talented.

Yes,they are. And no matter how much we may all dislike this particiluar group,they didn't get to where they are in show biz by being lazy. They worked their butts off.

These particular Jews are totally secular and would sell out Israel.

ONLY if they could turn a personal profit by doing so. In all other cases,they would stand by Israel on "principle". Especially in cases where any of their competitors would be harmed by their "moral stand". In this respect,they are no different from "Sunday morning Christians".

To say there isn't a huge percentage of liberal Jews in Hollywood, at the very top of the food chain is like saying Mormon's don't control much of Utah.

I know,but some people still insist on making this claim.

There's no "Gay Mafia"...Just ask Dr. Laura (sarcasm/off)

To say there isn't a huge percentage of liberal Jews in Hollywood, at the very top of the food chain....

There is even a respected, mainstream book on the topic:

An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood by Neal Gabler

It's like I explained to some of my relatives (one generation removed from open
Klan supporters)...
when you drive an ethnic group from farming and a number of other professions,
don't be suprised when they become dominant in some other profession.
(Not that Jews are discriminated in an occupational way these days in the USA...)

take a look at reply #3 ping...*ahem*

[aristeides]

I notice that Geffen and Diller did not say that the charge is untrue, just that Ovitz is crazy or rotten to make it.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Ovitz is a jerk who has fallen out of favor with a bunch of other jerks. Can't get to worked up over this one, even if it involves a bunch of sexually-confused Hollywood whackos.

[irish guard]

If Eisner is gay, he has masked it well with the wife and kids he has!

[BikerNYC]

"David [Geffen] has always hated me. He got Ronnie [Meyer] to turn on me, and then Bryan Lourd and everyone else," said Ovitz.

They've made me look like a psychotic madman and I'm going to kill them for that!

[CecilRhodesGhost]

Eisner isn't gay but he works with the gay Hollywood community by such efforts as same-sex benefits at Disney before that was the "norm" in LA. As for Ovitz... he paid too much for talent to develop products... then when they failed, he had no past "hits" in a library or rights to anything worthwhile to generate continuing cash. And he spent money across the table in films, TV and kids programming like animation... all at once. His recent AMG flop can be compared to someone trying to build GM overnight, instead of building one car model... he tried to build ten.

I think Ovitz also got burned on a Canadian theatre outfit, prior. This fueled the need for AMG to go bigtime too soon and he fell. As for the "gay mafia"... there is an old Spy Magazine issue with this as the cover, in pink colors no less. It's all been documented and is no secret in LA. Why do you think the only normal couple in the film AMERICAN BEAUTY was... gay? It's a joke on the rest of America.

I feel sorry for Ovitz but wish him well and it will be fun to watch a shark like him try to live in the American Mid-West.

[denydenydeny]

How say you?

[I_Love_My_Husband]

But I've seen rumors on gay websites about Eisner being gay...btw. I can't confirm, but gays say that he's trolled big time for anon gay sex.

If you want I can find the quotes.

I don't know if it's true...I'm just repeating rumors...

"You're not serious," Vivendi Universal Entertainment CEO Barry Diller told Burrough. "Wow. He said
that on the record? Wow ... Wow. I'm stunned. I'm stunned."

Not, "that's totaly wrong", but "he actually dared to say it on the record!"

These particular Jews are totally secular and would sell out Israel.

David Geffen has been reported to have contributed extensively to Israeli and Jewish charities, and to Russian Jewish emigrees. If you were to read the LA papers and magazines, you'd know that Hollywood may be liberal and secular (and sympathetic to gays, and pro-choice on abortion), but it's also very pro-Israel.
