Richard Dreyfuss Sparks Outrage for Alleged Sexist & Homophobic Comments at 'Jaws' Screening | THR News Video
Richard Dreyfuss is facing major backlash over sexist and homophobic comments the actor made over Memorial Day weekend.
A Massachusetts theater hosted the 'Jaws' star for a conversation and screening of the classic Steven Spielberg action blockbuster.
According to social media posts from those in attendance, people hoping for amusing or insightful anecdotes from the actor had to instead sit through the Oscar winner going on a free-form rant that included his bigoted perspective on trans youth, the Academy Awards' inclusion rules and then on to trans kids affirming their gender.
