Scott Rudin Collaborator Michael Chabon Apologizes for 'Looking the Other Way' on Abusive Behavior Claims

shared on Friday, Chabon writes that he"regularly collaborated" with Rudin — including the 2000 film adaptation of one of Chabon's novels— and, by doing so,"worked with and got to know many of his employees — a generation of them — from the VPs, to the researchers, to the assistants who worked the phones" including Kevin Graham-Caso , whose brother revealed he committed suicide following years of struggle with PTSD.

One of the abusive events he claimed to have witnessed included Rudin throwing a pencil at an assistant,"as the young man fled Scott’s office and Scott’s shouting.""The pencil struck the back of the assistant’s head, eraser end first, and fell to the carpet. A minute later, Scott called me into his office, and we started talking, as if nothing untoward had happened, about whatever script we were working on at the time...

Chabon adds that he "didn’t just know," but rather"took it for granted" because"Scott was the way he was, Hollywood was the way it was, and to be a professional, to be a grown up in Hollywood, you could not take Scott’s behavior too seriously, even when it was unprofessional and juvenile.""But that was just bullshit," he adds."To say 'I took it for granted' is letting myself off too easily.

Yeah, good... Go change. bulliesarecowards

Complicit.

Chabon cannot turn off the writer in him.

'like a torturer trained to cause injuries that leave no visible marks' That's exactly what most abusers/bullies do. They try to traumatise victims to damage them for the long term.

Too late, michaelchabon Well, you have your 💰💰💰💰💰

Exciting

he sounds melodramatic. he also sounds like dumb hypocrite cause he is only saying this to jump on the bandwagon & save his own skin by throwing Rudin under that bandwagon. These people are so self serving they all worked for or with these men then wanna call them devil later on

Big ass problem
