A recent GQ interview with Brendan Fraser has taken the internet by storm, as the actor admitted he had been sexually assaulted by former Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Philip Berk. Shortly after the article went live, Terry Crews spoke out in defense of Fraser, and now actor James Woods is doing the same.
Woods was a prominent actor who began his career in the early 1970's and earned himself nine Golden Globe nominations. However, Woods' career came to a screeching halt, which he blamed on his conservative political views. According to Fox News, the actor has always been an outspoken Republican and has claimed in the past this was a reason for his blacklisting.
Now, after Fraser's interview, Woods was inspired and took to Twitter to declare the specifics behind his blacklisting by the HFPA, which happened while Berk was still president. After recommending theGQ article to his followers, he then detailed a quick story about how a conversation with Berk changed his entire career.
According to Woods, he was at a press junket with the HFPA (who determines Golden Globe nominees and winners) and got into a political discussion with Berk. Woods claimed Berk asked him if he would support Hillary Clinton if she ever ran for president. While Woods did not share what his specific answer was, he suggested it was a "no" since his political views did not align with Clintons.
