Richard Dreyfuss Sparks Outrage, Massachusetts Theater Apologizes For His ‘Offensive and Distressing’ Remarks at ‘Jaws’ Screening


Richard Dreyfuss is facing criticism after a theater in Massachusetts apologized to patrons for his 'offensive' remarks made at a 'Jaws' screening.

In recent years, “Jaws” star Richard Dreyfuss has come under fire for speaking out on subjects such as Oscar diversity requirements and the use of Blackface. We deeply regret that Mr. Dreyfuss’s comments during the event were not in line with the values of inclusivity and respect that we uphold at The Cabot. In a video an attendee posted to YouTube, Dreyfuss comes onstage to applause while a Taylor Swift song plays, wearing a dress over his clothes, which stagehands then remove before he sits down.
