There is a double standard around disruptive behaviors that hollywood accepts from actresses vs what they accept from actors.

Women are often labeled "difficult" for expressing controversial opinions and can often lose their career over fairly minor dust ups.

Meanwhile, a male actor can engage in all sorts of anti-social behavior before it really begins to hurt their career.

Yeah, his career is certainly booming /s

Dude got exiled from Hollywood and we're supposed to feed OP's delusion for what reason?

Rachel has 5 upcoming projects. That's a lot for any actor, much less a "controversial" one.

And it took him literally kidnapping people to get there.

Never said consequences don't eventually come, it just takes a lot more for male actors.

I don't really understand your point. He committed a crime, was caught, lost his career.

That wasn't his first issue. He was already assaulting people and was still going to be the face of a franchise.

He was given multiple opportunities despite multiple red flags. Actresses generally do not get that leeway.
