The Excuse Plan

[Blind Gossip] This Oscar-winning actor is in big trouble.

He has a long history of bad behavior with women and it’s all catching up to him now.

There are going to be so many woman coming out with similar stories that it is going to be impossible to refute them all or paint them all as liars or opportunists.

Thus, his team’s mission will be to create an excuse.

they might already have one ready.

He needs a defense. They might claim he is a long time alcoholic. Send him off to rehab to try to emphasize how serious he is about getting better.

What’s ironic about this is that our actor actually spent years fighting off the alcoholic rumors and trying to pass off his drunk and obnoxious behavior as the result of a specific celebration. He didn’t want the drinking rumors to ever interfere with him getting work.

Now he might have to do exactly the opposite and say that he’s had a drinking problem for years… and was not aware or responsible for what he was doing!

    OMG that silhouette totally looks like Cuba in The Rat Race as the ump that made the famously bad call on the coin toss! LoL

    Jaime Fox

    Terrible behavior. He’ll admit to substance abuse and make the usual rehab and accompanying mea culpa media tour.

    Cuba Gooding, Jr.

    I sometimes forget he actually won an Oscar. His career went downhill pretty quickly after the win.

    Ooooooo. What has Tommy Boy done now? Hehehehe.

    He is so surrounded by Scientology “yes” people he has no sense of reality, similar to Michael Jackson. Their teams supported whatever bad behavior their star showed. Tommy has had a long and fruitful career. If his behavior can be tied to the Me Too movement, all the auditing in the world won’t save his career.

    Actor: Anthony Hopkins

    Clues: The two clues are ‘impossible’ and ‘mission’. Hopkins is the only person I can think of who has won an Oscar and has been on Mission Impossible (2). But he’s been pretty open about his alcoholism – calls it a gift. I dunno – that’s my guess and I hope I am very wrong.

    Cuba Gooding and all the groping he’s been accused of doing in bars and restaurants while drinking. He looks like he has a real drinking problem in my opinion.

  18. JBDinCA says

    Jon Voight
    Clues:
    “impossible” ; “mission” = played Jim Phelps in Mission Impossible (1996)
    In 1979 he won an Oscar for Best Actor in “Runaway Train” (1978)

  24. kittypryde777 says

    Actor: Cuba Gooding, Jr.
    Clues: mission, impossible = Tom Cruise, who he co-starred with in “Jerry Maguire”

  25. spookie says

    Henry Cavill?

    Mission…. he’s starred in Mission Impossible films and has rumours swirling about his sexual behaviour.

  26. amagod121 says

    Are we talking about Cuba Gooding? Man, that news caught me by surprise! I really didn’t believe it at first.

    Optional: Just as you say, BG. And it will work too. Harvey * and Kevin * haven’t gone to prison, nor will they. Money talks. A lot!

  27. jrizzo says

    Okay, I spent WAY too long trying to crack this one, mostly bc all actors I could think of haven’t won Oscars. Frustrating lol

    The blind uses “Mission” and “Impossible” and the related is about Katie Holmes so I looked at Tom Cruise. Only noms. Based on these clues I narrowed it down & I think it’s either Jamie Foxx (dating Katie) or Jon Voight (in the original MI). Leaning towards Voight since Foxx has admitted he was an addict.

    Thanks for listening to my analysis no one asked for, lmao

  32. HotTeacher88 says

    Cuba Gooding, Jr. Been waiting for this blind, LOL. This is a long time coming. I have heard about his drinking for awhile

  37. RealTalk says

    Gooding Jr.
    yucktastic and bell ring GOT shame. I see his girl, blacked out still functioning and him trusting an * comrade will take his * home. He groped the lady, she spoke up and the rando guy tried to make good. Your rich privilege ran out Holmes.

  40. XcusemyEnglish says

    I could think of quite a few actors who fit the clues…but I’m guessing Nicolas Cage.

  41. rhiannon14 says

    Gary Oldman, Casey Affleck, Sean Penn, Ben Affleck…the list of possibilities goes on and on. Take your pick.

  42. CanaryCry says

    Best actor:
    Sean Penn?
    Casey Affleck?
    Nicolas Cage?
    Jack Nicholson?
    Russell Crowe?

    Best Supporting Actor:
    Jared Leto?
    Morgan Freeman?
    Cuba Gooding Jr.

  46. DaniJo says

    Cuba Gooding Jr.

    The only clue I picked up on was the use of the word “mission”. I assume this is for the ‘Mission Impossible’ franchise, which stars Tom Cruise, and he was in ‘Jerry Maguire’ with Cuba Gooding Jr.

    • Poppycorn144 says

      Landis is not an Oscar winner and what he is accused of is much worse than “bad behaviour” Tbh his actions seems like those of a dangerously unbalanced sociopath.

  51. zappy2050 says

    Cuba Gooding. He was always handsy with people – you can see it in photographs he takes, not appropriate. Will be interesting how this plays out.
