You've touched on the main reason why I despise Smith. He is very good at telling stories during his stand-up shows, and he'll tell extremely one-sided versions of events in order to humiliate people he doesn't like, and his fans will instantly believe anything he says. He will publicly BTFO people over petty bullshit...
BUT.
20+ YEARS OF WORKING WITH WEINSTEIN. Not a peep. Not a murmur. Claiming to be super-feminist while keeping your mouth shut about your rapist Executive Producer who was literally trying to coerce Salma Hayek into fucking him on the set of Dogma. He has never said a word about this. Weinstein was committing heinous crimes literally in Smith's presence, and Smith said nothing. To this day, he has never addressed the shit that Weinstein did.
But Bruce Willis told him to get his shit together on the set of a multi-million dollar movie, and so he needs to be publicly savaged and humiliated for it.
I had a shit-ton of He-Man toys when I was a kid. I had the Castle Greyskull playset, Battlecat, three different versions of He-Man, Skeletor and Robot Skeletor, Fisto, Orko, Teela, etc..
I had completely moved on and completely forgot about He-Man for years, and when I first heard about the Netflix show, I was briefly like "Oooh, they're bringing He-Man back. Might be cool."
Then I realized that it was a Netflix production.
Then I found out that Smith was the Exec Producer
Then I found out about the Teela Show rumors.
Then I saw Smith attacking nobody YouTubers over this (and instantly got Ghostbusters flashbacks)
All of this shit whittled away my interest... and then we found out that everything the YouTubers said was true and that Smith was blatantly lying the whole time.
I wouldn't say I was an adult He-Man fan, but I loved it when I was a kid. It's not a franchise I held onto into adulthood like Star Wars, but I WAS interested in checking it out. At first. Not now though,
Now I'm not even interested in hate-watching it.
The story reeks of pure bullshit. You're going to tell one of the most powerful men in Hollywood and the guy who gave you a career to STFU at a screening of your POS film? Yeah, right.
