For years, when lesser known actors and crew members spoke out about Jonah Hill ’s behaviour, publicly hill would be defended by his v famous friends, many of which had their own v controversial reputation and behind the scenes, there would be coordinated campaigns employing cut throat ad ruthless Hollywood pr tactics to keep the stories & JH’s bad behaviour hidden & out of the spotlight. But in 2023, one of Jonah Hill's ex gf’s spoke out about how she was treated by him and she alleged jh had been controlling & emotionally abusive throughout their relationship.

VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/aXUiJX-rPDUAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor being arrested has become the biggest new story of 2026 so far, but there is so much more the the story that the mainstream media is willing to discuss.  Today we're going to go behind the walls of the Palace & discuss Andrew's horrendous behaviour over the years, & we're also going to see inside his former Buckingham Palace apartment, & yes, there's lots of teddy bears for anyone who knows about Andrew's bizarre fascination with teddy bears.

Through the 2000’s & the 2010’s, it was truly unbelievable how many projects James Franco was apart of, but unfortunately it wasn’t just acting happening on the sets of James Franco’s productions. From his earliest work in Hollywood on the set of the cult TV show Freaks & Geeks, accusations swirled about James Franco, at one point even exploding & physically lashing out at his co-star Busy Philipps. As JF’s celebrity star rose, James Franco’s behaviour & the stories from his sets became even darker. For years when women would come forward about James Franco’s behaviour & levy allegations against him, there would be enormous coordinations to keep the accusations hidden & out of the media. But in 2018, at the absolute height of his career, everything changed & James Franco’s horrendous unforgivable behaviour was finally exposed. And the spark that began the fire that torched James Franco’s career, was James Franco’s own enormous ego. So that’s what we’ll be discussing today, James Franco & the avalanche of allegations against him from many women & teenage girls. And James Franco’s appalling behaviour wasn’t just reserved to sets, with Franco even having to settle a lawsuit for millions of dollars with his former college students. We’ll also covering the repercussions of James Franco’s behaviour and how it effected his friendship and decade long collaborator, Seth Rogen. Franco & Rogen were a beloved duo, but James Franco’s expulsion from Hollywood has resulted in Rogen allegedly cutting James Franco off personally & professionally, with some people praising Seth Rogen for making and following through with a difficult decision, while others are criticising Seth Rogen for abandoning his & questioning just how much Seth Rogen knew about his former friend.
