Blind Item!- A-List actor had a sexual assault game he would play with women

"permanent A list actor from an acting family" reads like Nic Cage to me

Assuming this isn’t horseshit, question: why did she play this game with him?

Charlie Sheen. "Winning"

You see Charlie as a permanent A list actor ? And Cage has been stuck in the straight to video bin now for two decades.

Sheen is permanent A List. His name will always be famous.

"When he was much younger", so he's old now? Michael Douglas?

Jeff Bridges

NOOOOO....not Jeff Bridges!!!

R2 she wanted his autograph real bad.

Sounds like Alec Baldwin to me.

I think it’s Charlie Sheen.

Nic Cage wouldn’t surprise me, but he’s more “show business family” than “acting family.” Michael Douglas is a good guess, and he did claim to have a “sex addiction” at one point. Also, his father is Kirk Douglas, so there’s that.

Acting family - Baldwin, Estevez/Sheen… who else.

Ralph Fiennes

Michael Douglas. The word " winning" may refer to when he won for Wall Street and for producing One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest. It could be his father, though.

Sean Penn?

Ben Affleck?

Sean Penn is a good guess.

who's been called out for numerous sexual assaults? who is also from an acting family?

I don't recall Baldwin or Bridges having multiple sexual assault accusations, that's a pretty specific clue. Have Fiennes and Douglas (the younger) had accusations?

Winning, sexual assault and acting family sounds only like Charlie to me.

Barry Livingston

Yeah, probably Charlie Sheen. It seems too obvious, though.

Nic Cage had a history of domestic violence if I recall .

"chugging beer" I identify that more with Sheen or Cage than Douglas.

I think Alec Baldwin is a closeted homo

Sounds like something Jared Leto would do, but don’t think he’s from an acting family

Charlie Sheen is not permanently A list. Not even close.

Michael Douglas - showbiz family, he was in the movie The Game.

Michael Douglas.

It’s gotta be somebody who had a big blockbuster hit in the 80s. I’m thinking Michael J Fox or Tom Cruise.

what would constitute an acting family? does it have to mean tge star's parents had to be actors or, could it be an acting family because the star's children or siblings are also actors?

if the second, I nominate Jack Nicholson and Johnny Depp

Move along toots, there’s no potential for driving someone to commit suicide here

This is very improbably, but Jake Gyllenhaal's parents were producers, directors, screenwriters and his sister is an actor, I don't think of him as "permanent A list." but maybe he is.

I think Sheen was a good guess.

There have been stories of Sheen and hookers since Heidi Fleiss. It seems a little late in the day for this sort of bizarre and unique revelation.

Sean Penn is a creep but I don't think he is this depraved.

What about Gerard Depardo (sp)?

The man has to be an alkie. Chug 3 beers? Ugh.

In using the beer bottles on her is that internally or is he hurling them at her? Because how would he run after her with a flashlight and 3 beer bottles?

r35 = Rose

The clues couldn’t be more damning.

R27-HAHAHAHAHA. Cruise? Are you serious?

IF there were any truth in this, then Sheen would be my first guess. IF.

But there's no truth in this, that bullshit artist "entertainment lawyer" has been letting his imagination run wild for years, and publishing his fantasies as blind items.

Warren Beatty?

I never heard of Beatty being violent towards women, the scandalous whispers about him involve underaged girls. Because what's "seducing" a grown woman, is "grooming" an underaged kid.

Carrie Fisher says she turned him down when she was 17, but she's not the most reliable source that ever lived.

Acting family. It’s James fkin Franco.

I wondered about that r42 but is he permanent a list?

Lionel Barrymore

Maybe this help. I personally have nothing.

Ugh off-site list. Sorry.

That is one of the more retarded CDAN blinds I've seen-- and I read them all. The way it's written suggests it was something the woman experienced more than once. I find it hard to believe that a woman would meet a man like that a second time once she knew the deal.

Sheen. Has to be. Drunk and wired on blow, chasing women through the house?

Sheen.

The sick sex life of the heterosexuals.

I'm glad I'm gay and I've 'opted-out' of all the stupid games straight men and women play with each other. It's gross.

Not saying there isn't any bad behavior in the gay world, but it's NOTHING compared to the straights.

Wanna bet?

Hanks?

[QUOTE]has been called out for his numerous sexual assaults and other inappropriate behavior towards women

I've never heard this about Michael Douglas, but plenty about his father Kirk who was A list up until the end. His drug of choice was cocaine and as someone mentioned upthread, he didn't come off as a beer chugger. More like Cuervo on the rocks.

The verb tenses imply he's still alive, but maybe that's a ruse. Kirk had a temper and acted out on it. He also had an alcoholic father who brutalized him.

[QUOTE]In The Ragman's Son, Douglas described himself as a "son of a bitch", adding, "I'm probably the most disliked actor in Hollywood. And I feel pretty good about it. Because that's me... . I was born aggressive, and I guess I'll die aggressive."[7]

I could see a young starlet during Hollywood's golden era putting up with this to get work. The studios then were quite good at covering all sorts of star misbehavior so numerous sexual assaults and bad behavior could be easily quashed.

Affleck?

The first person I thought of was Jack Nicholson because it reminded me of what he did to LFB.

agreed r54, I even went and wiki'd him to see if he qualified re family.

Casey Affleck? This I can picture.

What did Jack do to LFB?

It would also have to be someone who isn't pristine and vain about his body in order to chug 3 beers at once.

R57, he basically tormented her as a hobby. Some people like to cook or knit. Jack liked to play mind games with LFB to the point that he broke her. If you don’t believe this tale, just look at her today.

Tormented her how? Not that I don’t believe it, Jack Nicholson is a famous brutalizer of women.

They said A-List, so it can't be Armie Hammer.

- Anne Helen Peterson for BuzzFeed

R37, that was the first name that popped into my head.

I hope it's not the Felddog!

What about Ryan O’Neal?

Sheen?? A-List?

If A-list includes TV actors than I would say a drugged-up Sheen is an obvious choice.

[Quote] The first person I thought of was Jack Nicholson because it reminded me of what he did to LFB.

Jack isn't from an acting family

Josh Brolin.

Ryan O'Neal is a good guess, the guy is a bazillion kinds of shithead, had a wife and daughter who acted, did enough drugs to kill the few brain cells he ever had, and was part of the "anything goes" culture of 1970s LA.

And a quick google search shows me that Angelica Houston accused him of assault, when they were involved. Also that he was accused of assaulting his psycho druggie son, but who wouldn't.

[quote] Josh Brolin

And Enty had this blind item back in 2017 with him being the guess:

[quote] This A- list mostly movie actor is a celebrity offspring. He has not exactly had the best reputation the past few years and wile he was drinking there were plenty of women he forced to do certain things. It is why his actress wife finally divorced him.

And this other one from December 2022 about things that have happened at the Playboy Mansion in the past. It was one of several within a list, and someone at CDAN who seemed to be in the know about events there, said they knew for a fact that this one was him:

[quote] This A list mostly movie actor from an acting family who is married to an actress got suspended from parties for a month after he beat a Playmate bad enough to send her to the hospital. A month.

Enty sees all

Het peeps…no thank you, I’ve had sufficient.

Charlie Sheen was and is a deeply sick and evil sadist it's probably him.

How about Marlon Brando? His sister Jocelyn was in many things, notably Mommie Dearest. So, a family. And Marlon is permanent A-list.

I'm not sure I'd call Brolin A-list but he's otherwise a good guess.

Come to think of it, how does "winning" relate to Brolin. IF that was meant as a clue.

His dad was the one who lucked out.

R75 In Enty's world Brolin is A-List. You can find item(s) where he eventually revealed who the A-List person was and it was Brolin. Here's one of his reveals from a blind he did in 2009:

[quote] This A list movie actor recently quit a very high profile movie he was to begin shooting. There was no real reason why he suddenly decided to take a pass. Well, the reason is a pass. It turns out that the A list actor hit on the wife of his fellow A list co-star who threatened to walk out if the offender wasn't fired. Our A list lecher was allowed to quit rather than being fired.

The reveal was: Sean Penn/Josh Brolin/Diane Lane "Cartel"

I’d lie to recall my Ben Affleck guess, as I think there are better guesses here (Brolin and O’Neal seem to fit better), and aside from the family angle, and the likely ability chug beer, I don’t get “brutalizer of women” from Ben. Maybe handsy, as he’s been accused of, but not this level.

Casey I don’t know as much about.

Rob Lowe’s brother and son are actors.

My boy is a chip off the ol' block!

It's probably someone like Don Swayze

I like Brolin, Casey Affleck and definitely Ryan O Neal. But Brolin fits best, I think.

Wow - I am disappointed Josh Brolin is a predatory brute. What must Babs think? Or maybe she dotes on him as the straight son she never had.

Even Ryan O’Neal I can’t see with the beer bottle angle. He was a vain, preening peacock and probably opted for cocaine over booze in his heyday. I believe he is abusive, pushing, shoving, possibly smacking, but the beer bottle thing seems too sophomoric for him. However, I could be wrong.

Casey Affleck had some female crew members complain about him on the “mockumentary” film he made with Joaquin Phoenix. Apparently Casey and Joaquin took over the female crew members hotel/hostel room to have a foursome with two random women (while Casey was engaged or married to Joaquin’s sister.) Strangely, although Joaquin was involved in this stunt, the women only officially complained or brought suit against Casey Affleck.

I get the feeling Casey Affleck is a real prick.

Nicholson probably hasn’t had the energy to physically chase after a woman since the 1970s.

Was on board with Charlie but now think Brolin ftw. Charlie's more blow, Brolin seems like a beer guy.

I must reiterate - what must Babs think? And Jason? Jason seems like a decent guy.

If my in-law was a woman-beater (or a man-beater) I would be embarrassed.

Christian Bale? His family in England were performers - but I guess that's a but of a stretch.

I thought of Babs when Diane Lane divorced Brolin and they had a history of him beating her up, and being drunk all the time. I always thought Diane Lane was classy and I hated him for doing that. But he seems like he has reformed.

James Brolin seems like a classy guy. Babs would accept no less. How did he end up having such a trashy son?

Whoever this blind is about, it sounds like the guy is not someone who perceives himself as a “classy” guy. That would rule out Alec, Michael D and Ryan O. I don’t perceive Michael D an abuser, just a player, regardless of the sins of his father. This seems to be a Johnny Knoxville type but I don’t think he is that craven.

Johnny Knoxville isn't from a show business family.

Ben Stiller

R93, Yes, I know. I was using him as an example of a beer-chugging guy who doesn't think he is fancy.

Enty's take on Brolin has typically emphasized his drinking, and there's been at least one (or more) that mentioned 'roids.

And most thought this item from him in 2018 was his take on Babs and the situation:

[quote] This permanent A list mostly movie actress who is also a permanent A list singer says she is all about #Time's Up except when it comes to one of her family members and then she says the women who accused him of sexual assault and harassment are lying.

^ Babs, please.

McConaughey? His mother and brother act, but mostly on Matthew's shirt tails.

In early November 2013, Blind Gossip also covered Brolin family dynamics with a somewhat different take on Babs:

[quote] We thought we’d give you a little peek behind the scenes of a famous family. It’s especially timely because one of the members of the family has been causing trouble again. This celebrity couple had a rocky relationship from day one. And by rocky, we mean Rocky. The Actor has an anger problem. And a substance abuse problem. Put the two together, and he’ll take a swing at whoever gets in his way during a binge. His crazy, belligerent behavior continues to take its toll on his ex and their entire family and his job. His Actress ex knew about his problem/s from the beginning. But he was handsome and famous and has more than one famous relative, so she constantly made excuses for him. Fortunately, she was able to extricate herself from the situation before it was too late. She hasn’t really moved on, though. She is gorgeous and available, but have you seen her out on a single date this year? No. Why not? Because she is scared of her ex! He still calls the Actress – usually after he has been binging – to alternately yell at her and to beg her to come back. She isn’t about to go back to him, but she is also scared to date someone else, because she knows that he is crazy jealous and loses control rather easily. His kids from a previous relationship don’t want to spend with him either. We do not know exactly what is behind that – if it’s his addiction, his anger issues, or something else – but it’s never a good sign when even your kids want to avoid you. Finally, his celebrity parents are having troubles in their own relationship, some of which can be attributed to their constant fights over the Actor. The Dad makes excuse after excuse for him – perhaps because The Actor had a disastrous childhood – while the Mom has been calling for rehab for years. Of course, The Actor swears that he is going to clean up his act. After every crazy binge and fight he swears that he will never drink again. But it always does. First rule of addiction: Addicts are liars. It affects his work, too. Everyone in the industry knows he has a serious problem. Some still hire him. Some avoid him like the plague. He’s lost out on more than one major role because of his drinking. How can you have someone anchor a franchise when you don’t even know if he’s going to show up for work the next day? We still think he has a chance at a good life and a long, successful career… but only if he goes to rehab. Fortunately for him, Mom (who can be an incredibly demanding woman) is the loudest voice in the room right now. We should know in the week or so if she got through to him.

And a couple weeks later TMZ reported this:

Ryan O'Neal wouldn't recognize class if it bit him in the ass. All he ever had was his looks, that preppy college boy image which was totally fake. He was a complete POS. No two ways about it. Filth.

You should check out Brolin’s Instagram. He has millions of followers and is beloved. It almost feels like his fellow male actors are in awe of him. His posts are deep or funny. There definitely is an intensity to his thoughts. He’s an odd one.

R100, yes, but I think he perceives of himself as "classy." Like Alec, I could see him physically abusing women out of anger or while under the influence but not as a calculated move or a game. Emotional abuse. heck yeah.

Jeff Bridges is not permanently A list. He was A- list once and is now B.

Brolin's social media is probably a form of PR damage control, because he's been the subject of bad behavior for so long. Even within the last year, most thought this Oct. 2022 blind from Enty was about him and the third wife.

[quote] This permanent A list mostly movie actor who is the offspring of a permanent A list actor, recently beat his wife. She didn't call the police. She did say she would kill him the next time he tries to do something like that again.

The part about "not calling the police" probably hearkens back to a past situation with second wife, Diane Lane, where police were called in.

Jeff Bridges will always be A list in my heart!

If James Brolin is A-list then Jeff Bridges is as well.

Will Smith is from an acting family. So is Bruce Dern.

Jeff Bridges is A-list. He could fairly be called A-minus list at this point in his life, even if he does more supporting roles than leads at this point in his life. But every over-fifty actor has to do that if they want to work, and Bridges gets a bump up the list for sheer longevity, as he's done leads in films from his twenties to his seventies.

Come to think of it, he probably has a higher place on the A-B-C-D list than Brolin, Brolin did supporting roles and ensembles while he was in the prime of life.

R106 Of course, Bridges is A List, and Enty describes him as a "permanent A list mostly movie actor who is a multiple Academy Award winner/nominee." Another reason why Brolin is A List is, besides his acting roles and family connections, he's also an executive producer now.

Sounds like Brolin to me He's an abusive drunk.

Alec Baldwin does not think he’s classy. He’s constantly talking about how he’s QIC.

Jeff Bridges is permanent A list and from an acting family. But he’s been with his wife nearly forever and was never thought of as an abuser, unless I’m really forgetting something. I do adore him so I am biased.

I'm gonna go with Ryan O Neal because he seems like the type who'd play "games" and be malicious and twisted. Brolin seems like a guy who gets explosive when he is drinking or drugging, probably even paranoid, but I don't see him as a game player. O' Neal or Charlie Sheen. Maybe Nic Cage as a third choice.

Ryan O'Neal, a permanent A-lister?

Cage isn't from an acting family.

I mean there may be actors in his family but no on would identify him as such. They would have said film or show business.

Michael Douglas

My first thought was Michael Douglas.

Now I'm gonna read the thread.

"Use the bottles on her body" (to paraphrase) sounds disgusting and disturbing no matter how said bottles were employed. This has to be someone who is a borderline sociopath and extremely depraved. Who does that?

R112 It's not Jeff Bridges. Enty's had a blind or two about his drinking in the past, but he's more or less been described as a funny drunk with a sense of humor. Not some abusive asshole.

Jeff Bridges is a golden retriever in human form. ❤️

R115 Cage's birth name: Nicholas Kim Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola(Aunt or Uncle) Marc Coppola(Sibling) Carmine Coppola(Grandparent) Roman Coppola(Cousin) Robert Schwartzman(Cousin) Sofia Coppola(Cousin) Matthew Shire(Cousin) Gia Coppola(Cousin) Talia Shire(Aunt or Uncle) Jason Schwartzman(Cousin) Gian-Carlo Coppola(Cousin) Francesco Pennino(Great Grandparent) Italia Coppola(Grandparent)

Jeff Bridges is and always will be A-list, he’s never given a bad performance, and is liked and respected by all.

I think this blind item would make a great thriller:

Rich, handsome and famous, a creatively sadistic director has a fetish of terrorizing women before he can fuck them. He also has a habit of choosing genuinely talented actresses who he then directs and promotes into successful careers, in addition to giving them huge cash payouts to stay mum. It seemingly worked for years, but then a few of his exes get together with his new mark to turn the tables on him and he’s in for a weekend he’ll never forget . . .

George Clooney?

R122 Not all of those people are actors. Francis is a writer-producer-director, Carmine (his father was a musician and composer. Roman is, like his father, a writer-producer-director. Is the Coppola family primarily known as an “acting family”? If so then I guess I’m wrong.

Sheen: Acting family, “winning”, debauched, A list.

Douglas: Acting family, in the movie The Game, sex addict, sexist asshole on set. A list.

Alan Arkin: Acting family, dark, flashlight, terrorizing as clues; in the movie Wait Until Dark. A list because of lengthy career and award for the Kominsky Method.

Probably Warren Beatty.

[quote]This permanent A list actor from an acting family has been called out for his [bold]numerous sexual assaults and other inappropriate behavior towards women[/bold]

^If your actor doesn’t fit that description then it isn’t him.

Called out in Hollywood it could be hidden.

Not sure they’d make a point of saying he was called out if it was hidden.

James Earl Jones

Gotta be Douglas

R105= Jennifer Lawrence

R107 Will Smith ain't chasing women around anywhere don't be ridiculous. If anything he's the one running from women. If the blind was about twinks you mightve had an argument.

"Called out for numerous sexual assaults and othet inappropriate behavior towards women" + "Winning" sounds like Charlie Sheen. However, this is a lame blind item if it's about him because his depravity is well known and documented and no shock to anyone.

In his recent blind items about Sheen, Entertainment Lawyer consistently describes him as "Former A+".

Does anyone think Sean Penn might be in the closet and that's why he's so angry all the time? His relationships with women have always been a disaster and he does have the irrational frustrated aura of a man whose repressing something in my opinion. He's been married three times and engaged a number of other times.

R138, I think that none of Penn's relationships last because he's a straight man who treats his women like dirt, and allegedly physically abuses them. And that he's angry and frustrated, because he can't find a woman who'll agree to be his meat puppet servant with no opinions of her own. There's actually a lot of straight men like that, they're angry because they just can't find a totally subservient and submissive woman.

[quote] George Clooney?

Likes dick and does not chase women.

Sean Penn. Definitely. runners up: Nic Cage and Charlie Sheen.

Don't be so literal. The individual who posted this rum or probably isn't so literal. Cage fits and so does Penn. THe only thing I am weak on is the "A list " part with O' Neal. He isn't and never was,

Don't forget, Sean Penn used to tie Madonna up so she wouldn't be able to go out.

Yeah, I wish they were still together!

It’s definitely Hunter Biden
