Richard Dreyfuss is facing major backlash over sexist and homophobic comments the actor made over Memorial Day weekend.

A Massachusetts theater hosted the 'Jaws' star for a conversation and screening of the classic Steven Spielberg action blockbuster.

According to social media posts from those in attendance, people hoping for amusing or insightful anecdotes from the actor had to instead sit through the Oscar winner going on a free-form rant that included his bigoted perspective on trans youth, the Academy Awards' inclusion rules and then on to trans kids affirming their gender.

Oscar-winning actor, producer and prominent Democratic Party fundraiser George Clooney wrote an op-ed published in The New York Times Wednesday praising President Biden, but arguing that Democrats need a new nominee and calling for Mr. Biden to exit the 2024 race hours after senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi swerved questions about whether he should continue.
