James Gunn Scandal pt.1

Back in 2009 and 2010, our client, James Gunn, posted, in his previous words, “funny” tweets onto Twitter, joking about pedophilia and rape, as well other things(shown above). While some did not take notice of these jokes, others just laughed and liked, realizing that this was Gunn’s unique sense of humor. While those tweets escaped the public radar over time, Gunn was able to direct some of the biggest movies of his career, Guardians of the Galaxy vol.1 and 2. Gunn seemed to have Hollywood big-shots respect him even more and fans gawking at his feet, but the tweets of his past would soon return, causing his immediate removal from Disney from CEO Alan Horn. What followed was massive controversy, the (almost)end of a franchise, and the career of Gunn holding on by a thread.
