Richard Dreyfuss Accused of Misogynistic and Homophobic Remarks


Actor Richard Dreyfuss is accused of making misogynistic and homophobic remarks at a screening of ‘Jaws,’ prompting audience members to walk out

Video footage posted to YouTube shows the actor taking to the stage wearing a dress over his clothes to the tune of “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. The statement concluded: “We are in active dialogue with our patrons about their experience and are committed to learning from this event how to better enact our mission of entertaining, educating and inspiring our community.” Dreyfuss — who won the best actor Oscar in 1978 for The Goodbye Girl — made headlines last year when he criticized the Academy Awards’ new diversity and inclusion rules for Best Picture candidates.
