1:59 | · | think less thoughtful discussion and |
2:01 | · | more verbal Molotov cocktail |
2:03 | · | unsurprisingly rina's comments didn't |
2:05 | · | sit well with a large chunk of the |
2:07 | · | public social media exploded with |
2:10 | · | hashtags like cancel Meathead trending |
2:12 | · | for days and if there's one thing |
2:13 | · | Hollywood doesn't handle well it's |
2:15 | · | controversy that threatens the Bottom |
2:17 | · | Line enter Netflix the streaming giant |
2:20 | · | was all set to release a 12 million |
2:21 | · | documentary about Rhino's Life in Korea |
2:24 | · | this wasn't just some small project it |
2:26 | · | was a twoot featurelength Extravaganza |
2:28 | · | showcasing everything from from his |
2:30 | · | humble beginnings to his Hollywood |
2:31 | · | Heyday the documentary promise behind |
2:34 | · | the scenes footage exclusive interviews |
2:36 | · | and even appearances from rina's famous |
2:38 | · | friends like Billy Crystal it was |
2:40 | · | supposed to be a love letter to his |
2:41 | · | career a chance for rer to remind people |
2:44 | · | why they loved him in the first place |
2:46 | · | but then the backlash hit after rina's |
2:48 | · | political comments went viral for all |
2:50 | · | the wrong reasons Netflix exec started |
2:53 | · | sweating public opinion was turning |
2:55 | · | against him fast and the project was |
2:57 | · | starting to look less like a tribute and |
2:59 | · | more like like a liability the final |
3:01 | · | nail in the coffin came when internal |
3:03 | · | polls reportedly showed that releasing |
3:05 | · | the documentary could lead to mass |
3:06 | · | subscription cancellations so in a Move |
3:09 | · | That Sent shock waves through Hollywood |
3:11 | · | Netflix pulled the plug the 12 million |
3:13 | · | documentary canceled just like that no |
3:16 | · | Fanfare no farewell just a quiet but |
3:19 | · | brutal decision to cut ties and here's |
3:22 | · | where things get even Messier according |
3:24 | · | to insight as Rina didn't see it coming |
3:26 | · | he reportedly found out through his |
3:28 | · | agent and was blindsided by the news |
3:30 | · | when he finally had a meeting with |
3:31 | · | Netflix Executives to discuss the |
3:33 | · | cancellation he was so upset he broke |
3:36 | · | down in tears yes the same Rob rer who |
3:38 | · | played the tough opinionated Meathead on |
3:40 | · | TV was reduced to a Tey mess and it |
3:43 | · | doesn't end there The Fallout from |
3:45 | · | Netflix's decision has left Rina |
3:47 | · | scrambling to salvage his reputation and |
3:49 | · | his career he's been working overtime to |
3:51 | · | find another Studio willing to pick up |
3:53 | · | the project but here's the catch Netflix |
3:55 | · | had exclusive rights that means unless |
3:57 | · | they decide to release those rights |
3:59 | · | which let's be real they won't the |
4:01 | · | documentary is officially dead rina's |
4:04 | · | political rants have also alienated a |
4:06 | · | significant portion of his Hollywood |
4:07 | · | peers even some of his closest |
4:09 | · | collaborators have reportedly distanced |
4:11 | · | themselves worried about the negative |
4:13 | · | press that seems to follow him like a |
4:15 | · | shadow rumor has it that behind closed |
4:17 | · | doors some of his former friends are |
4:19 | · | lamenting how unrecognizable he's become |
4:22 | · | a far cry from the charismatic director |
4:24 | · | and actor they once admired and if that |
4:26 | · | weren't enough his latest attempts to |
4:28 | · | spin the controversy in his favor have |
4:30 | · | only backfired a recent live interview |
4:32 | · | where Rina tried to defend his comments |
4:34 | · | quickly devolved into a heated shouting |
4:36 | · | match with the host adding fuel to an |
4:38 | · | already blazing fire instead of winning |
4:41 | · | sympathy rina's defensiveness came |
4:43 | · | across as combative further alienating |
4:45 | · | viewers clips of the interview were |
4:47 | · | shared far and wide with social media |
4:49 | · | users gleefully dissecting his every |
4:51 | · | word memes mocking his responses flooded |
4:54 | · | Twitter and Reddit turning what could |
4:55 | · | have been a serious conversation into |
4:57 | · | yet another PR disaster to make matters |
5:00 | · | worse some fans are also dragging up old |
5:02 | · | interviews and moments from rina's |
5:04 | · | career trying to paint a picture of him |
5:06 | · | as a man out of touch with the modern |
5:08 | · | world old quotes are being scrutinized |
5:10 | · | with critics claiming they reveal a |
5:12 | · | pattern of arrogance and self-importance |
5:13 | · | that's only grown worse over the years |
5:16 | · | while it's not unusual for celebrities |
5:17 | · | to face intense scrutiny in the age of |
5:19 | · | social media riner's situation feels |
5:22 | · | like a perfect storm of bad Tim and and |
5:24 | · | worse Optics let's not forget the irony |
5:26 | · | of it all this documentary was supposed |
5:28 | · | to be a celebration of rina's Life in |
5:30 | · | Korea a way to cement his legacy as one |
5:33 | · | of Hollywood's greats instead it's |
5:35 | · | become a symbol of his decline the very |
5:37 | · | project that was supposed to revive His |
5:39 | · | Image has ended up tonish it further |
5:41 | · | even worse the controversy surrounding |
5:43 | · | the documentary has overshadowed much of |
5:45 | · | his previous work instead of celebrating |
5:48 | · | his contributions to film and television |
5:50 | · | people are now debating whether his |
5:52 | · | legacy is worth saving at all rina's |
5:54 | · | story is part of a growing Trend in |
5:56 | · | Hollywood where celebrities use their |
5:58 | · | platforms to push political agendas and |
6:00 | · | while there's nothing inherently wrong |
6:02 | · | with speaking your mind there's a fine |
6:04 | · | line between sharing an opinion and |
6:06 | · | alienating your audience Rina |
6:08 | · | unfortunately seems to have crossed that |
6:10 | · | line and the consequences have been |
6:11 | · | Swift and severe Netflix for its part |
6:14 | · | likely saw the writing on the wall in |
6:16 | · | today's polarized climate releasing a |
6:18 | · | documentary with heavy political |
6:19 | · | undertones was a recipe for disaster the |
6:22 | · | potential backlash combined with the |
6:24 | · | risk of losing subscribers made the |
6:26 | · | decision to cancel a no-brainer while |
6:28 | · | Netflix has weathered its fair share of |
6:30 | · | controversies in the past the backlash |
6:32 | · | against rhino was particularly intense |
6:35 | · | leaving the company with little choice |
6:37 | · | but to cut their losses at the moment |
6:39 | · | it's hard to say what the future holds |
6:40 | · | for Rina his career has taken a massive |
6:43 | · | hit and his once loyal fan base seems to |
6:45 | · | be dwindling even if he manages to find |
6:47 | · | another Studio willing to work with him |
6:49 | · | the damage to his reputation may be too |
6:52 | · | great to overcome some insiders believe |
6:54 | · | that his best chance at Redemption might |
6:56 | · | involve taking a step back from the |
6:57 | · | spotlight entirely allowing time to heal |
7:00 | · | the wounds caused by his recent |
7:02 | · | controversies of course this is |
7:03 | · | Hollywood the land of Second Chances |
7:06 | · | maybe Riner will find a way to bounce |
7:08 | · | back turning this Fiasco into a |
7:09 | · | Redemption story for the ages or maybe |
7:12 | · | this is the end of the road for the |
7:13 | · | Meathead either way it's a cautionary |
7:16 | · | tale for anyone in the industry when it |
7:18 | · | comes to mixing politics and |
7:19 | · | entertainment tread carefully so what do |
7:22 | · | you think did Netflix make the right |
7:24 | · | call by canceling the documentary or |
7:26 | · | should they have taken a chance on |
7:27 | · | riner's big comeback personally I think |
7:30 | · | Netflix dodged a bullet here but I'd |
7:32 | · | love to hear your thoughts drop a |
