Cancel Couture with Samuel Victor

Alec Baldwin Halyna Hutchins updates, the full story of Dave Chappelle's controversy both under the context of Trans rights, and what his career can tell us about industry bigotry, bias in the press, and why he felt so strongly about it he walked away from $50 million. I share personal stories of racism, homophobia, sexism and other biases that I've experienced as hurdles in trying to produce diverse movies within the Hollywood system, deeply problematic trends hidden behind American hip-hop, Jesy Nelson "Blackfishing" allegations, and make some suggestions as to how we can all work together to heal the divides - plus a true story of I was mislead into starring in a "racist" movie - and turned it around.    

Lessons to learn from the awful accident involving Alec Baldwin and the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins. Clearing up certain misinformation - I tell my own stories of safety issues on set, and how these situations can be avoided in the future. Responding to questions I recieved about discrimination towards men in the industry, and rare situations where females may have an advantage, including secret apps that models use for free luxury goods - but why "pretty privilege" is a dangerously double edged sword. Mikhaila Peterson's Africa Brooke interview, the brilliance of Contrapoints, the ridiculous Marvel vs Jordan Peterson controversy, and perhaps the most sexually suspect audition of all time!

After last episode, I was flooded with questions about "Hollywood" conspiracy theories. A Liberal Agenda? Secret societies? Is everyone secretly racist? I tell you what I've experienced and what the real truth is about what controls the system. After detailling my own brushes with Harvey Weinstein, we talk about a huge problem in the entertainment industry - sexism, abuse of power, the infamous "casting couch", and I tell a few shocking, disturbing and scandalous situations I've had to navigate in my career. 

After being harassed for decades to sell celebrity stories but staying silent, I turned 40, had a lockdown breakdown and decided I no longer care. But I’m not here to gossip. We have major problems with systemic corruption and abuses of power, but the tide is starting to turn. This episode, I make my first and final statements on the stories that never die, then palate cleanse with a story of the "hilarious" time I woke up in Jude Law's garden with machine guns pressed to my head.
