People love it when drug addicts overcome their addictions.

Not a "we vs them" thing. I see a lot false comparisons online being like, if they can accept RDJ back why not this abuser?

People don't wanna see a redemption arc for a rapist or an Abuser. Don't act like RDJ wouldn't still be in exile if he was beating up on women.

Plus half of hollywood is on drugs themselves. Not something they hold against each other.




Sean Connery?

Roman Polanski got a standing ovation at the Oscar's a couple years ago while in exile for STATUTORY RAPE.

There's plenty more examples but im not about to do this with you today

American racism, RDJ went thru coke and whores like Sheen..gets an Oscar.

Majors gets railroaded...all of a sudden he's Hannibal Lecter...

Stay on code...damn..
RDJ did actually go to jail and pay his dues nor was he accused of assaulting a woman, so I wouldn't use him as a good example to support your narrative

Majors will be back eventually just like Sean Penn came back.

It’s going to take a couple years and some good performances in smaller movies.

With Downey it’s a little different. Hollywood made him the poster boy for drug abuse…. Meanwhile they were all abusing drugs. He’s lowkey being rewarded for working his way back and not turning into a snitch.

There’s definitely a racist component to these types of situations. Jonathon Majors was a HUGE case study in it. He should never have been charged in the first place and was absolutely hung out to dry.


But we as black people should know by now what the deal is. And pre-social media era, there have been a few black entertainers that were allowed to slide on shyt. Terrence Howard slapped his ex wife -(a white woman) and was able to still have a career. Mykelti Williamson got into some shyt on a plane and hit a fan and didn’t face any significant backlash. Chris Brown BEAT Rhianna’s face in and went on to win Grammys and tour sold out shows. He’d be even bigger if he hadn’t decided in his mid 30’s to become a drug addicted thug.

If your black and in any sort of medium that requires a modicum of fame. Your best bet is to move like Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler, or even OG’s like Morris Chestnut and Omar Epps. Keep your nose clean (literally) and stay professional at all times. Don’t go to a bunch of parties, stay away from white women and IG Thots, tell Diddy no, and just be chill and you should be ok
