There’s a lot of ways to lose their house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve while you’re making 27 fucking million dollars a year. Be careful motherfucker, be really careful.

    He publicly threatened to set their houses on fire, that’s not a smart thing to do.

      They publicly threatened to make writers and actors homeless. He’s just being more direct about it.

      It’s like a mafia threat. It’s definitely implied, but still ambiguous enough that it would be hard to press charges based on that alone.

      He didn’t, not really. As he clarified, it was only an expression of frustration and a warning to execs that saying shit like that can lead to a type of escalation that neither side really wants.

        Yeah it’s human.
        Hope they don’t use it as an excuse to attack him. You don’t often get the benefit of the doubt these days.
