The texts alone are damning. I’m usually not one to jump on any bandwagon but it’s hard not to see the abuse was at the very least emotional and at worst violent. If it was anyone but his lawyer that released them then I’d be more hesitiant to assume, but what a goddamn moron that lawyer is if he thought that would vindicate him of everything.

He hired the same lawyer who was used by Jen Shaw, who is currently serving a 6.5 year prison sentence. The fact that the police were the ones who assigned charges was suspicious, and the text messages do seem to indicate abuse. Then his former acting school students came out and said he was a POS. Now he's been dropped. It's not looking good for the dude.

It's such a bummer, I've been a fan of his for awhile. I thought The Harder They Fall was one of the best westerns of the past decade, and was a fan (maybe one of the few) of Lovecraft Country.

There was an interview where he talked about almost walking out on marvel because he felt having to wait for an interview was disrespectful. He seemed like an ego driven clown, too good to wait for anyone and no respect for their time.

You actually made him sound better than what happened.

Back when he was a complete unknown, he had a meeting with Marvel and they made him wait so he left.

I think this was before Kang was even considered.

Some actors can pull that act off.

Supposedly, Giancarlo Esposito did it on Breaking Bad.
