My Vulnerable Messages To Tyler Perry Doesn’t Negate Abuse – Mario Rodriguez

Hollywood actor and model Mario Rodriguez, who accused Tyler Perry of sexual assault and sexual battery in a Dec. 25 lawsuit, has spoken up. He recently reacted to text messages that purportedly show him acting polite and grateful to Perry, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, using his polite and grateful messages to Perry to discredit him is strange because survivors mostly stay cordial and ask for help when they are desperate.

Mario added that the texts were sent to the popular movie producer when he was at his most vulnerable.

His words, “I want to briefly respond to what’s being said about me right now. People are pointing to messages where I was polite, grateful, or vulnerable — and trying to use that to discredit me.

When someone has influence over your career, your income, your future, you don’t feel free. Survivors often stay cordial. They often ask for help when they feel desperate.

That does not mean abuse didn’t happen. Those text messages were sent to Perry at a time when I was especially vulnerable as can be seen from the context. Continued financial support and access are not inconsistent with abuse—they are often part of the power dynamics that follow it.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
