Richard Dreyfuss Accused Of Sexist, Anti-LGBTQ Rant

The Wrap reports:

Richard Dreyfuss’ appearance at a Massachusetts theatre prior to a screening of 1975 hit “Jaws” went awry when the actor went on an allegedly sexist and homophobic rant, prompting the venue to apologize to patrons.

“We deeply regret that Mr. Dreyfuss’ comments during the event were not in line with the values of inclusivity and respect that we uphold at the Cabot,” read a statement from the venue sent to patrons on Sunday.

The “American Grafiti” star was hosted by the Cabot on Saturday, May 25 for what was advertised as “An Evening With Richard Dreyfuss” when, according to social media posts from those in attendance, Dreyfuss began sharing offensive comments towards women and the LGBTQ community.

Deadline Hollywood reports:

After taking the stage in a housedress and, at one point, swinging his cane like a baseball bat at a Massachusetts holiday weekend screening of Jaws, Richard Dreyfuss went on to deliver a rant described by attendees as transphobic, sexist and homophobic.

Dreyfuss apparently made similar comments at a Friday night Jaws screening at The Music Hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “I live in Mass, but the Cabot showing was all booked so I saw him in NH on May 24,” a Facebook commenter wrote. “He made anti-gay remarks that night too.”

Dreyfuss has been an outspoken critic of Oscar inclusivity rules and trans youth affirming their gender. Last year on PBS’ Firing Line, the Goodbye Girl Oscar-winner said diversity efforts made by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences “make me vomit.”

The cult, of course, is celebrating on X. As you can see below, last year Dreyfuss appeared on the shows of homocon cultist Dave Rubin and right wing nutbag Glenn Beck. Video of Dreyfuss’s housedress entrance is below.

For context The Cabot is a movie theater/stage in Beverly Massachusetts that does revival showings, concerts, theatrical acts and basically attracts an older wealthy suburban liberal PBS crowd

We are in an end game…

I joined @RubinReport to discuss my book, ‘One Thought Scares Me’, why we need to prioritize the teaching of civics in high school; why the current level of political partisanship may be the end of America; and more… pic.twitter.com/Oa6lqFqp3g
