Hollywood double standard


How is this clown still given a pass in Hollywood when Mel Gibson was basically run out of town on a rail?

Not excusing Mel's actions of tirades, but let's face it, he's a republican so he's already given 10 extra hate points...

Bottom line, if your call yourself a liberal in tinsel town, you can contradict yourself at every turn and spew hateful comments, apologize and all is forgiven...

But Roman actually had an arrest warrant put out for him. It's the reason he doesn't spend any time in Hollywood - he basically fled the country for good, after that statutory rape scandal broke. And yes Alec did utter a homophobic slur, and he got some criticism for it, but it's not a legal matter. You cannot compare those two things - statutory rape and a homophobic verbal slur. One is much worse than the other.
