Malek was playing Freddie Mercury in a Freddie Mercury biopic. He knew of Singer's wrongdoing (bullshit to him being "unaware"), was in a privileged position of his involvement being what got the film fast-tracked, and did absolutely nothing. He didn't have to be the whistleblower on Singer's crimes, especially since the protection Singer had up to this point suggests there are more powerful people involved, but he could have used his star leverage to keep Singer off the film at the very least. Why not put the onus on the producers who actually hired Singer rather than on Malek? We should but actors are part of the problem too. When they continue to work with someone like Singer it’s an endorsement for studio to keep hiring him.

People go with flow cause nobody likes to rock boat.

Wow that statement from Avi Lerner might be the most flat out disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. Pretty much “fuck it who cares if he’s a pedophile he’s a moneymaker!” Just pure evil greed... Same thing with Polanski. The man is such a legendary director so who cares if he drugged and sodomized a teenage girl? 😒😒😒 Fucking Hollyweird scumbags 🖕 Unfortunately, a few people (you know who you are) on this forum also share Lerner's mentality. For the record, I have never defended Polanski. IDK if that was directed at me.

To Me it's directed at anybody at his new movie thread who has called him the "one true genius" and is rooting for the man instead of just his film

Well, Dujardin is going to be a huge discussion point here and raise actor responsibilty to a higher plateau...... because there will be no disputing about who knew or didn't - people can say "Streep knew" or "Malek is lying" but it's not the same thing, there is always plausible deniability and if so you can logically defend Malek (or any actor).
But Dujardin's position will be something like - I knew, of course and feel he doesn't deserve to lose his career, this was an important film, he had something to say - I support the film etc. That is a different thought process.
Eventually that ends with us saying things like "how could Dujardin (a BA winner) do that?" - now to me this is not an issue, I would see the film anyway, I see everything Polanski does and I think this is the last film, I support Dujardin's right to make up his mind............ but Dujardin will be the extreme example in the exact same absolute sense that MJ way is the extreme example is in music (systemic, in the open, repeated).
People are going to freak out with this Polanski film and this MJ doc..........its going to be a very unpleasant 2019.

this kinda falls apart once you get to a certain tax bracket and level of accountability though (like most "obviously there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but don't go too crazy" lines of reasoning). obviously i don't think malek is the person we should be placing this blame on but sure, he's somewhat complicit in this and it's okay to point that out. he made a mistake (entirely because he did not have to take on a position like this - it's different for people who are working paycheck to paycheck, i feel like this is kinda obvious) and if he can learn then cool.

Not exactly related to the thread topic, but I get the feeling Lawrence wouldn't have directly named the director if he was anyone else...

She needs to stay mum or else the tea will start brewing.
