Matt Damon is insisting that he has never used the “f-slur” following a recent interview in which he was quoted saying he had stopped using the offensive term when his daughter wrote him a “treatise”: "I stand with the LGBTQ+ community" bit.ly/3yjtheb
“I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter... I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made – though by no means completed – since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word ‘f*g’ used on the street,” says Damon. bit.ly/3yjtheb
“I explained that that word was used constantly and casually and was even a line of dialogue in a movie of mine as recently as 2003; she in turn expressed incredulity that there could ever have been a time where that word was used unthinkingly.” bit.ly/3yjtheb

Hours after Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney, the company has fired back, slamming the #BlackWidow star’s breach of contract lawsuit for showing “callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.” bit.ly/3zGGq14
“There is no merit whatsoever to this filing,” Disney said in a statement. The company minced no words arguing that they complied with Johansson’s contract, calling her legal filing “especially sad and distressing.” bit.ly/3zGGq14
Earlier today, Johansson said that Disney’s decision to send the Marvel movie to Disney Plus at the same time it released in theaters cost her millions of dollars in backend compensation. bit.ly/3zGGq14

#ReleaseTheAyerCut? David Ayer posted an emotional letter criticizing the studio cut of #SuicideSquad: “The studio cut is not my movie." bit.ly/3xc7aoC
“I put my life into Suicide Squad. I made something amazing – My cut is intricate and emotional journey with some ‘bad people’ who are shit on and discarded (a theme that resonates in my soul),” Ayer wrote. bit.ly/3xc7aoC
"...My cut is not the 10 week director’s cut – It’s a fully mature edit by Lee Smith standing on the incredibly work by John Gilroy. It’s all Steven Price’s brilliant score, with not a single radio song in the whole thing," he added. bit.ly/3xc7aoC

The claim made in the filing would be a major development — should Spears’ medical team believe that her father is causing harm to her case, the court would likely take that very seriously. bit.ly/3f8fteE
The new filing comes the same week that Spears’ new attorney, Mathew Rosengart, officially petitioned to suspend and remove Spears’ father from the conservatorship. bit.ly/3f8fteE
