Aaron Sorkin says Scott Rudin “got what he deserves”

Aaron Sorkin doesn’t have much sympathy for Scott Rudin, the former Hollywood power producer whose reign in showbiz has exploded in the middle of a barrage allegations of abuse. Im a new interview with Vanity Fair, Sorkin says his former partner, with whom he worked Social network, The press room, Steve Jobs, and Kill a mockingbird, which is about to reopen on Broadway, has “what he deserves”.

“Listen, I think Scott got what he deserves, ”Sorkin said when asked if he saw or knew about Rudin’s behavior. “He’s lying flat on the mat right now, and I don’t know how it can help me to stand on his chest and jump up and down.”

Sorkin too denies any knowledge of Rudin’s behavior, calling the bullying he witnessed “upper class” as something beyond The devil wears Prada. No violence, so it’s okay! The devil wears Prada, as we all know, has since continued become the gold standard of how bosses should treat their employees.

I’ll tell you that in a number of follow-up stories I’ve read, you’ll see people quoted saying, “Everyone knew, everyone knew. And this is ridiculous. Not everyone knew. I certainly didn’t know it, and I don’t know anyone who did. First of all, I have my own experience with Scott, and it’s a bully upper class, but I get it. The stories I’d heard over the past 12 years were the sort of thing that – they could’ve been scenes of The devil wears Prada, there was no violence. There is nothing physical at all in the stories I have heard.

Of course, Sorkin denies being aware of Rudin’s behavior, even though the allegations were somehow a well-known secret in and out of. Hollywood. As onlooker points out, the press has reported on Rudin’s behavior over the years. In 2014, Sixth page published “The Man Known As The Biggest Hole In Hollywood”, which, among other things, describes Rudin forcing an assistant out of his car on Triborough Bridge after the assistant came to pick him up late.

Sorkin must also have missed the 2005 the Wall Street newspaper article “Boss-zilla!” Who describes Rudin as the “most feared boss in Hollywood”. Of course it is not the only one to plead ignorance. Last week, Oscar winners Joël Coen and Frances McDormand also denied having any knowledge of Rudin’s behavior.. Then again, the Hollywood bigwigs must be the only ones not talking about this sort of thing. It is only their colleagues, after althe.
