Filmmaker Oliver Stone, who heavily promoted the JFK assassination conspiracy theory with his 1991 Oscar-winning movie &#8220;JFK,&#8221; now claims that his four-hour documentary on the same subject is being blocked from release in America due to fact-checks.
Speaking with filmmaker Spike Lee for Variety&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://variety.com/2021/film/news/spike-lee-oliver-stone-da-5-bloods-1234903611/">Directors on Directors</a>&#8221; series, the Academy Award-winning director said he &#8220;can&#8217;t find a home&#8221; for his documentary in America.
&#8220;What’s the the status of JFK documentary?&#8221; Lee asked.
Later, when Spike Lee asked if perhaps Netflix would pick it up, Stone said that fact-checkers kept it from finding it a home on various platforms.
&#8220;Netflix said no?&#8221; asked Lee.
&#8220;Yeah. Today I just got the word that National Geographic said no,&#8221; replied Stone.
&#8220;They said they did their fact check. Yeah. Where are you going to find this information except in this film? If they do a fact check, according to conventional sources, of course it’ll come out like this is not true. How can you go and prove that it’s true? It’s very, it’s very tough. You have to have some imagination here,&#8221; he added.
In September of last year, Stone alleged that Hollywood censors films that are critical of U.S. foreign policy, which was a strange charge from him, considering that he made a career for himself with movies such as “Platoon,” “Born on the Fourth of July,” “JFK,” “Nixon,” “W,&#8221; and &#8220;Snowden.&#8221;
“In my own personal experience, I would say Hollywood tends to economically censor subjects that are critical of America’s foreign policy, and critical of the military adventures abroad that we’ve been engaged in for so many years,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oliver-stone-hollywood-censors-subjects-that-are-critical-of-americas-foreign-policy">Stone told Jesse Watters</a> of Fox News. “I know also that I had a hell of a hard time getting ‘Platoon’ made, as well as several other films.”
During the same interview, Stone alleged that the U.S. intelligence complex essentially misleads the American people into armed conflict.
“The intelligence agencies mislead us in many affairs, going back—in wars, especially—to Vietnam, to Iraq twice, Afghanistan, Syria,” he said. “It’s years of misinformation, particularly in Vietnam where I experienced, where—I was a small fry there, but certainly at the bottom of the chain, we felt the devastating effect of the continual lying about the fact that we were winning the war, winning the war. It was never true.”
In that same month, Oliver Stone <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oliver-stone-my-career-would-not-survive-cancel-fing-culture">emphatically denounced cancel culture</a>, arguing that his career would never have been allowed to begin if it were in place back in the 1980s.
“I mean, it’s just impossible. I would have had to step on so many sensitivities. You have to have some freedom to make a movie, unfortunately,” said Stone.
“You have to be rude, and you can be bad, and you [can] have to do these things like step on toes,” he continued. “Holy cow. Do you think I could have made any one of those films? I can tell you that if I made any of my films, I don’t think I’d last. I’d be vilified. I’d be attacked, shamed, whatever you want to call that, culture, cancel f***ing culture.”

Oliver Stone Claims New JFK Assassination Documentary Is Being Blocked In America

Oliver Stone

According to Oliver Stone, Hollywood censors films that are critical of U.S. foreign policy, a rather strange charge, considering that the director made a name for himself with movies such as &#8220;Platoon,&#8221; &#8220;Born on the Fourth of July,&#8221; &#8220;JFK,&#8221; &#8220;Nixon,&#8221; and &#8220;W.&#8221;
Speaking with Jesse Watters on &#8220;Watters&#8217; World&#8221; in an exclusive interview that will air on Saturday, Stone said that he had a difficult time getting his movies made and believed the censorship was economic.
&#8220;In my own personal experience, I would say Hollywood tends to economically censor subjects that are critical of America&#8217;s foreign policy, and critical of the military adventures abroad that we&#8217;ve been engaged in for so many years,&#8221; Stone said, as reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/oliver-stone-hollywood-censorship-us-watters-world">Fox News</a>. &#8220;I know also that I had a hell of a hard time getting &#8216;Platoon&#8217; made, as well as several other films.&#8221;
Oliver Stone&#8217;s &#8220;Platoon&#8221; won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1986 and solidified the director as a force to be reckoned with. The movie was based on his experiences fighting in the Vietnam War.
During the same interview, Stone alleged that the U.S. intelligence complex essentially misleads the American people into armed conflict.
&#8220;The intelligence agencies mislead us in many affairs, going back—in wars, especially—to Vietnam, to Iraq twice, Afghanistan, Syria,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’s years of misinformation, particularly in Vietnam where I experienced, where—I was a small fry there, but certainly at the bottom of the chain, we felt the devastating effect of the continual lying about the fact that we were winning the war, winning the war. It was never true.&#8221;
Stone then addressed the new Oscars diversity initiatives, which dictates that movies must meet a diversity threshold, employing specific minority individuals in front of or behind the camera, in order to qualify for Best Picture. According to Stone, the new rules will make historical movies much harder to produce.
&#8220;We have to deal with the fact that people do historical pieces,&#8221; he said. &#8220;History fascinates me and if you&#8217;re doing another era, you have to pay attention to the mores of that era &#8230; I don&#8217;t know how that will apply and I don&#8217;t know how they&#8217;re going to make that work.&#8221;
This past month, Oliver Stone emphatically denounced cancel culture, arguing that his career would never have been allowed to begin if it were in place back in the 1980s.
“I mean, it’s just impossible. I would have had to step on so many sensitivities. You have to have some freedom to make a movie, unfortunately,” said Stone.
“You have to be rude, and you can be bad, and you [can] have to do these things like step on toes,” he continued. “Holy cow. Do you think I could have made any one of those films? I can tell you that if I made any of my films, I don’t think I’d last. I’d be vilified. I’d be attacked, shamed, whatever you want to call that, culture, cancel f***ing culture.”

Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone emphatically denounced cancel culture, charging it would have ruined his career before it even started.
Promoting his autobiography on SiriusXM&#8217;s &#8220;Jim Norton &amp; Sam Roberts,&#8221; the &#8220;Platoon&#8221; director said that if he were starting his career today, he&#8217;d be stepping on way too many &#8220;sensitivities&#8221; to have a career in movies.
&#8220;I mean, it’s just impossible. I would have had to step on so many sensitivities. You have to have some freedom to make a movie, unfortunately,&#8221; said Stone, as reported by <a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/07/30/oliver-stone-says-cancel-culture-would-end-his-career-today/">Page Six</a>.
&#8220;You have to be rude, and you can be bad, and you [can] have to do these things like step on toes,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Holy cow. Do you think I could have made any one of those films?”
Stone stated earlier: “I can tell you that if I made any of my films, I don’t think I’d last. I’d be vilified. I’d be attacked, shamed, whatever you want to call that, culture, cancel f***ing culture.&#8221;
Stone&#8217;s comments condemning cancel culture comes weeks after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oliver-stone-hollywood-too-politically-correct-too-fragile-too-sensitive">he told</a> The New York Times that Hollywood&#8217;s political correctness has made the industry &#8220;too fragile, too sensitive.&#8221;
“The problem is in Hollywood. It’s just so expensive — the marketing. Everything has become too fragile, too sensitive,” he said. “Hollywood now — you can’t make a film without a Covid adviser. You can’t make a film without a sensitivity counselor. It’s ridiculous.”
When pressed to explain why a “sensitivity counselor” is ridiculous, Stone said, “The Academy changes its mind every five, ten, two months about what it’s trying to keep up with. It’s politically correct [expletive], and it’s not a world I’m anxious to run out into. I’ve never seen it quite mad like this. It’s like an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ tea party.”
“In what respect?” the interviewer, David Marchese, shot back.
“Oh, David, don’t go there. That’s going to be your headline,” responded Stone. “You know, I just read something about how films are going to be very expensive to make now, because you need to take all these precautions, and a 50-day shoot becomes a 60-day shoot, and social distancing for actors. That’s what I’m talking about.”
Oliver Stone is not the only director with an ax to grind against cancel culture. In late July, the openly gay and envelope-pushing John Waters said that Trump will most likely win reelection due to a culture of &#8220;insane political correctness.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, the insane political correctness – even though it’s mostly correct – is gonna make Trump win,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-a-class-issue-hollywood-director-john-waters-claims-political-correctness-will-lead-to-trump-re-election">said Waters</a>. &#8220;It’s a class issue. I promise you, in the neighborhoods in Baltimore that are really struggling with poverty, they’re not worrying about pronoun usage. I’m not saying that some don’t! But it’s rich kids’ schools who are the most stringent police of it. I never understood what a trigger warning was, I thought you went to college to have your values challenged. I thought that was the point of education.&#8221;

Cancel Culture

Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone (&#8220;Platoon,&#8221; &#8220;JFK&#8221;) has had enough of Hollywood&#8217;s &#8220;sensitivity.&#8221;
Speaking with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/13/magazine/oliver-stone-interview.html">The New York Times</a> to promote his upcoming memoir, Stone said the film industry has become too politically correct, &#8220;too sensitive,&#8221; and &#8220;too fragile.&#8221; This shift has pushed him into making documentaries instead of narrative-based films such as &#8220;Snowden,&#8221; about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, which was released in 2016.
&#8220;The problem is in Hollywood. It’s just so expensive — the marketing. Everything has become too fragile, too sensitive,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Hollywood now — you can’t make a film without a Covid adviser. You can’t make a film without a sensitivity counselor. It’s ridiculous.&#8221;
When pressed to explain why a &#8220;sensitivity counselor&#8221; is ridiculous, Stone said, &#8220;The Academy changes its mind every five, ten, two months about what it’s trying to keep up with. It’s politically correct [expletive], and it’s not a world I’m anxious to run out into. I’ve never seen it quite mad like this. It’s like an &#8216;Alice in Wonderland&#8217; tea party.&#8221;
&#8220;In what respect?&#8221; the interviewer, David Marchese, shot back.
&#8220;Oh, David, don’t go there. That’s going to be your headline,&#8221; responded Stone. &#8220;You know, I just read something about how films are going to be very expensive to make now, because you need to take all these precautions, and a 50-day shoot becomes a 60-day shoot, and social distancing for actors. That’s what I’m talking about.&#8221;
Asked if he&#8217;s &#8220;felt marginalized by Hollywood in the past,&#8221; Stone said, &#8220;I don’t think they think about me. I don’t feel bitter about it.&#8221;
&#8220;&#8216;Savages&#8217; was my last was my last movie in the mainstream, so to speak,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I thought it was mainstream, and Universal did too, up until they distributed it. They decided to move it at the last second from fall to summer. So they put us in the middle of a schedule that was pretty tough.&#8221;
&#8220;I do still get offered stuff, but I’m not inspired to make a movie,&#8221; said the director. &#8220;I don’t feel anything inside me, fire for going through that pain and misery. The last film I did was &#8216;Snowden.&#8217; It was so difficult to make. We struggled to get financing — I believe — because of the subject matter.&#8221;
Regarding his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the 2016 presidential election, Stone said that the United States put way too much emphasis on Russia&#8217;s influence on the election.
&#8220;I think he sees American destabilization as a dangerous thing because he thinks about the safety of the world,&#8221; Stone said of Putin. &#8220;If anything, he would like a balance of power to exist and he would like to have a nuclear treaty with us. It’s very difficult to talk when America doesn’t talk. It hasn’t been dealing honestly with him in a long time.&#8221;
When the interviewer suggested that perhaps Stone was being a &#8220;useful idiot,&#8221; Stone replied that much of the documentary was filmed in 2014 before the election took place.
&#8220;Where is it clear that I’m an idiot? I think it’s a very articulate dialogue,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would also point out that when we started, which was in 2014 roughly, the relationship with the United States was not as bad as it would become.&#8221;

2019 Beyond Fest 25th Anniversary Screening Of “Natural Born Killers”

Oliver Stone: Hollywood Too Politically Correct, ‘Too Fragile, Too Sensitive’

Political Correctness

According to a transcript released from the <a href="http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/61057">Kremlin,</a> Hollywood film director Oliver Stone, who won an Oscar for “Platoon” and has a long history of leftist rhetoric, spoke with Russian president Vladimir Putin and told him he would have liked him to be the godfather to Stone’s daughter.
<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7269729/Oscar-winning-director-Oliver-Stone-asks-Vladimir-Putin-22-year-old-daughters-godfather.html">The Daily Mail</a> reports that Stone spoke to Putin on June 19 about Putin being the godfather to the children of Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, prompting Putin to note that according to Russian Orthodox tradition a person cannot refuse a request to be named a child’s godfather. Stone reportedly responded, “Oh, you cannot refuse it? I thought it was a big honor for you to be the godfather of his daughter. I would ask you to be the godfather for my daughter.” The two men then allegedly discussed the possibility of Stone’s daughter Tara becoming an Orthodox Christian and Stone remarking, “We&#8217;ll make her that.”
In the interview published by the Kremlin, Stone is quoted saying: “As you know, I&#8217;ve been very rebellious all my life. Still am. And I have to tell you, I&#8217;m shocked by some of the behaviors and the thinking of the new generation. It takes so much for granted. And so much of the argument, so much of the thinking, so much of the newspaper, television commentaries about gender, people identify themselves, and social media, this and that, I&#8217;m male, I&#8217;m female, I&#8217;m transgender, I&#8217;m cisgender. It goes on forever, and there is a big fight about who is who. It seems like we miss the bigger point.”
In the interview Putin reportedly stated, “When these lands that are now the core of Ukraine joined Russia … nobody thought of themselves as anything but Russians.” He allegedly protested Russia’s innocence in interfering in the 2016 election, asserting, “And whichever our bloggers &#8211; I don&#8217;t know who works there in the Internet &#8211; had expressed their point of view on the situation in the USA in this or that way, this had not been able to play a decisive role. This is nonsense … But we had sympathized with him (Trump), because he said that he wanted to restore normal relations with Russia. What&#8217;s bad in this? And of course, we couldn&#8217;t unwelcome such a position.”
Near the end of the interview there was this exchange:
<blockquote>Stone: I am very worried about you.
Putin: Why?
Stone: I can see there are so many problems. It weighs you down. It is sad to see. It is a tough situation.</blockquote>
Stone has a history of praising left-wing dictators; in 2013 he <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/matt-hadro/2013/01/04/joke-cnn-lets-oliver-stone-defend-magnanimous-warm-hugo-chavez">said</a> of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez that he was a &#8220;magnanimous, warm, warm man, big man.&#8221; He added, &#8220;They want him. He&#8217;s popular. The people love him. Well, the majority of people, because the living standards have gone up, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s ignored in so much of the reporting on Venezuela.&#8221; After Cuban dictator Fidel Castro died, Stone <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/oliver-stone-praises-castro-blames-obama-hole-article-1.2891768">lauded him</a> this way: &#8220;I saw him as a great leader,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He fulfilled so much for the Cuban people. He brought them a revolution, which changed their lives, and he fought a giant for 60 years. He symbolizes what independence is.&#8221;

Hollywood’s Oliver Stone To Putin: I Wish You Were Godfather To My Daughter

Vladimir Putin

This week, for the first time, Oliver Stone visited the land where his son famously converted to Shiite Islam and proceeded to paint both President Trump and the United States as the Great Satan &#8212; the former, quite literally, and the latter, in so many words.
During his trip to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world&#8217;s <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/iran-still-top-state-sponsor-terrorism-u-s-report-says">leading state sponsor of terrorism</a>, the radical left director told Iranian reporters at a press conference on Wednesday that while he once compared George W. Bush to John Wayne, a more apt comparison for Trump is &#8220;Beelzebub,&#8221; another name for Satan.
While in its report on Stone&#8217;s hysterical criticisms of the U.S. and its president, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oliver-stone-compares-donald-trump-beelzebub-at-iranian-film-festival-1105661">The Hollywood Reporter</a> praises the director for &#8220;demonstrating a solid knowledge of regional politics as well as Persian history,&#8221; Stone didn&#8217;t seem too concerned about Iran&#8217;s history of promoting terrorism in the region. Instead, he was more than willing to trash American foreign policy in the Middle East, and threw in some disparaging comments about France&#8217;s Emmanuel Macron, who recently met with Trump, for good measure.
THR notes that Stone referred to the war in Iraq as a &#8220;proxy war&#8221; and to U.S. foreign policy since 9/11 as a form of &#8220;creative destruction&#8221; with the reckless goal of regime change, &#8220;no matter how disastrous the invasion of Iraq was.&#8221;
&#8220;We made a mess out of Iraq, Syria, Libya, but it doesn&#8217;t matter to the American public,&#8221; said Stone. &#8220;It&#8217;s okay to wreck the Middle East. &#8230; It doesn&#8217;t matter who is president &#8212; Bush, Obama or Trump, the U.S. will break any treaty&#8221; to promote its own interests.
Trump and Macron&#8217;s call for revising the dangerous Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, Stone said, shows that Macron is a man &#8220;without much sense of history or memory of the great traditions of France,&#8221; and one who clearly wants to revert back to French colonialism. &#8203;
Asked if he would consider producing a film focused on the Islamic State, Stone said that while it&#8217;s a &#8220;very good idea,&#8221; he cited political &#8220;blocking forces and controversies&#8221; that would try to prevent him from telling the story of ISIS &#8220;honestly.&#8221;
Stone also addressed the &#8220;ridiculous story&#8221; that he wanted to make a film in 2007 about then-president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but was rejected because the president considered the director a representative of the &#8220;Great Satan,&#8221; how Iranian leaders generally refer to the U.S.
THR closes out its report by noting that Stone&#8217;s son Sean <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/node/29883/edit">converted to Shiite Islam</a> while visiting Iran in 2012.

Oliver Stone, the Oscar-winning director of &#8220;Platoon,&#8221; and whose other films include &#8220;Wall Street,&#8221; &#8220;Salvador,&#8221; and &#8220;JFK,&#8221; has been <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5101657/Melissa-Gilbert-sexually-harassed-Oliver-Stone.html">accused of sexual harassment</a> by Milissa Gilbert, who became famous for her role on the long-running television series &#8220;Little House on the Prairie.&#8221;
On Monday, speaking on Andy Cohen&#8217;s satellite radio show, Gilbert at first was reluctant to identify which director had allegedly sexually harassed her, but then revealed it was allegedly Stone when he auditioned her for the role of Pamela Courson, girlfriend of Doors frontman Jim Morrison, in the film “The Doors.”
Gilbert stated:
<blockquote>I had auditioned and then he said I have written this special scene for you, I&#8217;d like you to do it with the actor, I want to see the chemistry with the two of you. And the whole scene was just my character on her hands and knees saying, &#8220;Do me, baby.”</blockquote>
In addition, Gilbert alleged, Stone wanted her to act out the scene, rather than simply read the lines, which is the standard method for auditions. Gilbert said she would not do what Stone wanted, instead exiting in tears. Meg Ryan eventually played the part.
Gilbert confessed, “It was humiliating and horrid and he got me . . . it hurt.” She claimed Stone was seeking revenge for an incident when they both were at a club. She recalled:
<blockquote>He was ragging on television . . . he was telling everyone how television was c**p and he’d never do it. And then all these girls came running up to me because they had seen me on Little House on the Prairie. And they left and he was dumbfounded, and I said, “You see, a**hole? That’s television!&#8221; And I guess he never forgot it.</blockquote>
When she commenced her story, Gilbert would not identify the director, but mid-way through the story she interpolated, “Oh f*** it, it was Oliver Stone, and it was ‘The Doors.’”
Actress Patricia Arquette has stated that Stone tried to audition her for a movie that was “very sexual.” She said he invited her to a screening of his film “Natural Born Killers,” but she brought her boyfriend. She stated:
<blockquote>Oliver stopped me coming out of the bathroom. He said “Why did you bring him?” I said &#8220;Why is it a problem I brought him? It shouldn’t be a problem.”</blockquote>
In October, Stone <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oliver-stone-harvey-weinstein-not-easy-what-hes-going-1048425">waxed eloquent</a> about the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, pontificating:
<blockquote>I&#8217;m a believer that you wait until this thing gets to trial,. I believe a man shouldn&#8217;t be condemned by a vigilante system. It&#8217;s not easy what he&#8217;s going through, either. During that period he was a rival. I never did business with him and didn&#8217;t really know him. I&#8217;ve heard horror stories on everyone in the business, so I&#8217;m not going to comment on gossip. I&#8217;ll wait and see, which is the right thing to do.</blockquote>
After there was immediate blowback, Stone changed his perspective later the same day, allowing, “After looking at what has been reported in many publications over the last couple of days, I’m appalled and commend the courage of the women who’ve stepped forward to report sexual abuse or rape.”

Oscar-Winning Director Oliver Stone Accused of Sexual Harassment

Sexual Misconduct

In the wake of countless bombshell sexual misconduct allegations launched against powerful producer and Democrat mega-donor Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood is beginning to look like a dying star collapsing in on itself.
The fall of Weinstein has exposed a seemingly complicit Hollywood, one in which stars <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/22151/open-secret-weinstein-sex-joke-cracked-2013-oscars-amanda-prestigiacomo">openly crack jokes</a> about the producer&#8217;s apparently well-known sexual predation and big-name actors are <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/22056/enablers-matt-damon-russell-crowe-helped-kill-2004-amanda-prestigiacomo">accused</a> of helping to bury damning stories. Other actors, too, have come out to expose the toxic Hollywood culture, namely former NFL star <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/22148/actor-terry-crews-i-was-groped-hollywood-big-wig-james-barrett">Terry Crews</a> and Dawson&#8217;s Creek star <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/22188/james-van-der-beek-i-was-sexually-harassed-amanda-prestigiacomo">James Van Der Beek</a>. Some stars have even been called out by name, such as Batman actor Ben Affleck, who was forced into an apology for groping actress and former Total Request Live host Hilarie Burton on live air some years ago.
And the hits just keep on coming: Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone is the latest Hollywood elite accused of sexual misconduct. Stone allegedly groped model and actress Carrie Stevens at a Hollywood party.
&#8220;When I heard about Harvey, I recalled Oliver walking past me &amp; grabbing my boob as he walked out the front door of a party. Two of a kind!&#8221; <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oliver-stone-accused-groping-tv-actress-early-1990s-1048468">wrote</a> Stevens on Twitter.
Stone <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/twitter-unhappy-oliver-stone-showing-harvey-weinstein-sympathy-2600961">expressed concern</a> for the pre-trial &#8220;vigilante&#8221; type of condemnation of Weinstein while attending the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, on Thursday.
&#8220;I&#8217;m a believer that you wait until this thing gets to trial,&#8221; said the director. &#8220;I believe a man shouldn’t be condemned by a vigilante system. It’s not easy what he’s going through, either. He was a rival and I never did business with him. I’ve heard horror stories from everyone in the business. So I’m not going to comment on that. I’ll wait and see, which is the right thing to do.&#8221;
In light of the new developments, Stone took to Facebook on clarify his take: &#8220;After looking at what has been reported in many publications over the last couple of days, I’m appalled and commend the courage of the women who’ve stepped forward to report sexual abuse or rape,&#8221; he wrote.
Providing a <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oliver-stone-accused-groping-tv-actress-early-1990s-1048468">statement</a> to The Hollywood Reporter, Stevens explained the incident thusly:
<blockquote>It was at Ted Field&#8217;s home years ago, around the time Oliver did JFK. The party was in his honor. Oliver was on his way out; Ted was seeing him to the door. Oliver spied me standing nearby and just reached out and instead of doing what a normal person does and shaking my hand, he just groped my boob and honked it like a horn and grinned and kept walking.
I was humiliated but didn&#8217;t want to complain. I didn&#8217;t want Ted to think I was ungrateful for the invitation, and I was new on the scene and just navigating my way around Hollywood. I came from the rock&#8217;n&#8217; roll scene. Eric Carr from Kiss was my boyfriend and he had just passed away. I met Ted because he produced Bill &amp; Ted&#8217;s Excellent Adventure. Kiss did the soundtrack, so I met him at the premiere. Ted is a nice guy and he knew I was having a hard time over Eric&#8217;s passing so he invited me to his party — last thing I wanted to do was be a trouble maker.</blockquote>
&#8220;There are a million reasons girls don&#8217;t speak up,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Thank God I was never alone with [Stone]. If he&#8217;s grab[bing] me like that in front of people, imagine what he would do in private, given the chance.&#8221;
She also expressed relief that she &#8220;never met Harvey.&#8221;
&#8220;Unfortunately, I have met many of their kind in this business and it took its toll,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Unfortunately, I came to believe my body parts were the only thing I had going for me — and so I did Playboy. But I&#8217;ll tell you what: I always felt protected and respected by Hef and Playboy Enterprises. I do know Oliver hung out at some parties at the Mansion. Thankfully, I never saw him there. But I can tell you if he ever tried to grab anyone&#8217;s boob there, Hef would have had security show him the door.&#8221;

HOLLYWOOD IN CRISIS: Oliver Stone Accused Of Sexual Assault

Harvey Weinstein

Vladimir Putin is a liar, among other things. The KGB-operative-turned-Russian-autocrat runs the world&#8217;s most finely-tuned propaganda machine, replete with Kremlin-backed hackers, troll armies, and disinformation distributors. So you would think that he&#8217;d be able to fake some solid footage of Russian planes bombing ISIS terrorist targets for a sycophantic anti-American far-leftist filmmaker eager to gain access and cozy up to brutal dictators? Right?
Wrong. Footage shown to activist director Oliver Stone, a left-wing zealot even by Hollywood standards, during a recent trip to Moscow, purported to show Russian planes bombing ISIS; it turns out, however, that the video, shown via Putin&#8217;s iPhone, actually shows a U.S., yes, an American, U.S. AH-64 Apache laying waste to Taliban targets in Afghanistan. The footage is from a 2013 U.S. military operation designed to root out a a resurgent Taliban through the air with the assistance of Afghan soldiers on the ground. 
The problem for Putin was that <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/10/russia-says-its-fighting-isis-in-syria-this-map-proves-its-not/">Russia doesn&#8217;t really bomb ISIS</a>, no matter how much Kremlin spokespeople, Russian client states (see: genocidal Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad), and alt-right ethno-nationalists claim otherwise.
So what&#8217;s a poor boy like Vlad to do? Well why not show a gullible anti-American American dictator footage of American planes in action. To put it gently, Putin trolled Stone and Stone fell for it, which isn&#8217;t surprising given the fact that Stone eats up Russian propaganda with the ravenous appetite of a radicalized jihadi consuming extremist doctrines. This is the same director who made an entire movie about American traitor Edward Snowden based almost exclusively on interviews in Moscow overseen by the Kremlin minders.
Fortunately though, Putin&#8217;s lie caught the attention of Russian government watchdog groups.
The Russian leader&#8217;s lie was exposed by the Meduza Project, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/23/russian-journalists-meduza-project-latvia-kremlin-crackdown">an organization of self-exiled Russian journalists based out of Riga, Latvia</a>.

Putin Shows Anti-American Director Oliver Stone Alleged Footage Of Russian Helicopters Bombing ISIS. Turns Out It Was  A Badass U.S. Apache Firing At The Taliban.

Insane left-wing director Oliver Stone <a href="http://pagesix.com/2017/06/13/oliver-stones-late-show-interview-went-completely-off-the-rails/">reportedly</a> launched into a &#8220;cringe-worthy&#8221; rant condemning Israel during a live taping of Stephen Colbert&#8217;s The Late Show, which was conveniently cut from airing. 
On Monday, Stone appeared on the CBS show to promote his new Showtime miniseries featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin, called The Putin Interviews. When host Stephen Colbert confronted the Oscar winner about his alleged sympathies for Putin despite the county&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/17507/russias-hacking-was-much-worse-we-thought-hackers-joshua-yasmeh">reported</a> meddling in the United States election, Stone redirected the conversation to Israel, a source told Page Six: 
<blockquote>
The source said they &#8220;watched from behind [their] hands&#8221; as Stone said words to the effect of: &#8220;Israel had far more involvement in the US election than Russia.&#8221;
The &#8220;Platoon&#8221; director further challenged Colbert by saying, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ask me about that?&#8221; &#8212; but we&#8217;re told that the host shot back, &#8220;I&#8217;ll ask you about that when you make a documentary about Israel!&#8221;
</blockquote>
The source categorized Stone&#8217;s Israel rant &#8220;a classic anti-Semitic canard.&#8221;
Stone went on to express sympathy for Putin: &#8220;He&#8217;s been through a lot. He&#8217;s been insulted and abused,&#8221; said the director, &#8220;abused in the press, in the media.&#8221;
&#8220;Anything about him negative that you found? Anything? Anything?&#8221; Colbert quipped back. &#8220;What do you say to the people who will say this is a fawning interview of a brutal dictator?&#8221;
While the source said Colbert was adamant about pushing-back on Stone&#8217;s claims, it remains unclear why such made-for-TV interactions were cut from airing. Perhaps exposing left-wing Stone&#8217;s apparent anti-Semitism simply doesn&#8217;t fit The Late Show&#8217;s agenda. 
&#8220;Colbert was great. He wouldn&#8217;t let Stone get away with anything,&#8221; said the source, adding that Stone looked &#8220;stone-faced&#8221; in response.
