Is Hollywood’s Anti-Trump Blacklist Worse Than We Thought?

by

Brian Grazer’s Hollywood bona fides speak for themselves.

  • “Splash”
  • “Friday Night Lights”
  • “Apollo 13”
  • “A Beautiful Mind”
  • “Arrested Development”
  • “Parenthood”

The long-term collaboration between the producer and Ron Howard significantly positioned him as an essential component within the intricate workings of Hollywood. During this time, Grazer was actively involved in supporting Democratic causes, earning a notable reputation as one of the most prominent philanthropists advocating for progressivism within the industry.

Until last year.

In the realm of La La Land, the 73-year-old Grazer was guilty of an unforgivable act, not by concealing allegations against a lewd producer or supporting a series of box office disappointments.

In 2024, he cast his ballot for President Donald Trump. In fact, he openly discussed this choice on a FOX Nation documentary series titled “The Art of the Surge.

For that, he must suffer, according to a shocking report in the liberal Puck News.

The article by seasoned Hollywood journalist Kim Masters examines the consequences that followed Grazer’s admission. It is worth noting that the prolific producer admitted to supporting Trump, citing concerns over President Joe Biden’s mental health as one reason for his vote. Here is what he shared with the liberal New York Times regarding his voting choice.

As a moderate observer, I perceived Biden’s decline and noticed that the Democratic Party seemed to be lacking clear guidance during that particular period.

Puck News followed up on the fallout from Grazer’s confession.

I’ve learned from various sources that the news about Grazer changing sides took Howard, along with many others like Tom Hanks, by surprise.

Upon that event unfolding, I found myself overwhelmed along with the executives at the company, as they received an influx of concerned phone calls from various parts of the city – they were visibly shaken and dismayed.

According to Puck News, another reliable industry insider in Hollywood referred to the confession as “troublesome for his professional associates.

The report attributes Grazer’s public display of affection with Donald Trump to the fact that, in the past few months, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos purchased a documentary worth $40 million about First Lady Melania Trump and contributed $1 million to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.

Considering the past, it’s quite surprising that we now find Amazon, known for its perceived bias against right-wing content, in this situation.

According to Puck News, it’s unlikely that Grazer’s decision was influenced by President Trump’s policies, the current political climate, or the Biden/Harris campaign.

Disregarding any personal biases or journalist’s self-importance, as well as Bryan Singer’s motivations, this incident underscores a notable intolerance in Hollywood towards individuals who express support for President Trump or lean towards conservative views.

Instead, consider phrasing it as: “You can inquire about James Woods or Kevin Sorbo, among numerous Republicans, who choose to stay silent for fear of jeopardizing their careers. While figures like Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone openly express their conservative views, many others remain cautious due to potential backlash.

We’re seeing that in real time.

In a surprising move, the rather intolerant sector dismissed Grazer’s long-standing Democratic allegiance, hinting that his career might face consequences due to his support for Trump.

In simpler terms, the article suggests that actors are likely to continue working with Grazer, not because of any personal convictions or values, but primarily because the current state of the entertainment industry makes job security quite valuable.

Just don’t expect them to be charitable to him on the cocktail circuit.

It’s the latest proof that Hollywood’s intolerance is un-American, undignified and out of control.
