Jason Mitchell Fired From ‘The Chi’, Dropped by Netflix Amid Allegations of Misconduct

Actor Jason Mitchell has been fired from the 3rd season of Showtime's The Chi for inappropriate behavior with women. He is pictured left with the show's creator Lena Waithe.

In addition, Mitchell was reportedly dropped from Netflix's Desperados due to an incident involving a female co-star.

According to Deadline.com, the up-and-coming actor was also dumped by his manager and agent.

Mitchell, 32, is best known for playing the late rapper Eazy E in the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton.

On The Chi, Mitchell played Brandon Johnson, an ambitious and well-liked young man who operated a food truck business and had plans to open a restaurant.

The details of his inappropriate behavior are scarce. But Variety.com reports he was involved in an off-set incident that led to his dismissal from Desperados.

Several female co-stars on The Chi accused Mitchell of inappropriate behavior, including Tiffany Boone, who played his on-screen girlfriend.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Boone made repeated allegations of sexual harassment against Mitchell and she allegedly felt unsafe on the set of The Chi.

At times her fiancé, actor Marque Richardson ("Dear White People"), came to the set when Boone shot scenes with Mitchell, according to THR.

Boone, 31, eventually asked to be released from her contract to pursue other acting opportunities.

Reportedly the incidents involving other actresses on The Chi were "resolved" following an investigation.

Some viewers of The Chi accused creator and screenwriter Lena Waithe of turning a blind eye to accusations of Mitchell's inappropriate behavior on the set.

Waithe did not respond to The Hollywood Reporter's request for a comment. The 35-year-old openly lesbian Emmy winner has previously protested the prevalence of "heteronormative" gender roles in today's society.

According to Deadline, Mitchell was investigated in 2016 for body slamming an 18-year-old female on the floor of a Boston hotel room.

The Chi was picked up for a 3rd season, but Fox 21 TV opted not to renew Mitchell's option for the new season.

    From that pic I thought it would have been misconduct with menz.

  • MJF

    LOL and not womenz. Right

  • Blaque Mahogany

    Ruined your career (allegedly) because you don't know how to interact with women without being a creep. Dummy.

  • Guest

    You big dummy. Career ruined. Get some help bro.

  • Banka

    Lol

  • tintin

    oh man. I love his character the most.

    this means they gonna kill him off this season.

  • chan chan

    Sexual harassing the women on set. Something is wrong with dude.

  • morenYAHdelsur

    Whaaaaaaat

    I wasn’t aware of any of this. He been body slamming teenagers and feeling up his co workers. Say it ain’t so Jason ?The Chi is a great show too.

  • isaiit

    I love The Chi but now this explains where his character will be going... prison or death...

  • Shawty

    Wow...I like his character on The Chi.

  • BlackNicheRims

    Dang...I like his character on the show. I was rooting for him. I really like him as an actor, even in SuperFly, he was good. Sad that Tiffany Boone's fiance had to come to the set for her to feel safe. SMH. https://media1.giphy.com/media/uB6rsQFg5yPzW/giphy.gif

  • Junkanoo

    Why don't these fools hire prostitutes and stop harrassing people on their damn jobs. This me too movement is taking its sweet time in also exposing the pedophiles in Hollywood .

  • Gloria

    Saw him at the club here in Chicago once. I can believe this. Now that his career has been impacted by his actions, maybe he’ll seek help.

  • Coy little wink

    Who? I don't watch this stuff...

  • Blaque Mahogany

    He'll probably get worse.

  • RespectSelf

    Dang this is upsetting.... He couldn't control himself? or are they just blackballing him and making up a story. Cause he getting dropped left and right without any real solid details.

  • Blaque Mahogany

    I'm hungry.

  • Trace da Ace

    welp....I don't watch it...been meaning too...but my t'vo list is already full of my reality shows....sooo......

    but on another note.....do these producers run background checks on these "up and coming" actors??? I mean how many women are going to have to come forward before they realize that he was a problem??? I feel there is more to this....

  • TRUTHbeabsolute

    I was wondering why they were moving Emmett into the food truck business and into the house with Brandon's girlfriend. I see where this storyline is going and I think I kinda like it.

  • Dowoop

    Its a good show.

  • Panther Charleston

    How many jobs you gone get fired from before you go get some help? Sounds like a sex addict and a narcissist. Shame.

  • Karen Brady

    I don't currently have Showtime and I've never heard of this show. I did love Straight Outta Compton and been meaning to watch it again at home. Must be something real to this if everyone is dropping him. I love me some food trucks. Happy Tuesday ya'll. Forgive my random comments. Bored.

  • Karen Brady

    I get your question but if there's no charges or anything what would they gleam from the background checks?

  • Karen Brady

    I totally heard those first three words in Fred's voice :-(

  • Karen Brady

    LOL

  • Coy little wink

    I don't have cable ?

  • Fire & Ice

    Wow and he has been getting steady work since straight outta Compton. He even had a pretty decent size role in the King Kong movie

  • Guest

    Messed UP his bag trying to get some P***Y. I guess Nobody told him "Don't S**t where you EAT"

  • Trace da Ace

    your right....I just feel that this is not the first instance of him doing this...it pisses me off when stuff like this happens and it takes for the women to quit or threaten to quit before any action is taken......

  • goat

    I like the show and I liked his character, but oh well. I wonder how they will write him off or will they replace him.

  • Phillybruh

    Like in this climate how stupid can you be.

  • goat

    And Emmett talking about he need a woman just like Brandon's girl. Makes too much sense now. They'll probably kill him off now, especially since he's getting involved with some heavy hitters.

  • Mr.LeBrickJames

    That sound you hear in the background is Jason Mitchell's acting career going down the toilet. He's done.

  • goat

    Might as well go into the porn bizness, if they'll take ya.

  • deidre martin

  • Yoni7

    Hi Brother!!!!! I remember THIS avi. LOL

  • Phillybruh

    What Lena do?

  • datjerk

    The gf has already asked to be let out of her contract. So, idk.

  • Dowoop

    Neither do I.... ??? But I have internet.

  • Ni Ni

    I never seen the show. But they should start replacing people like they did on 80s soap operas. No use in destroying a good storyline ( if its good) over an actor.

  • goat

    What up Yoni! Where you remember my avi from? IG?

  • Yoni7

    Wow, SOOC came out in 2015? Seems just like yesterday. I've never seen The Chi. Sounds like it was good. I never really got who Lena was. It's like she just popped up on the scene out of nowhere.

  • goat

    True, I guess we'll see.

  • Topic Influencer

    Punish him. And Lena. Baby you gonna have to speak up ma'am. Cant sweep this under the rug.

  • Topic Influencer

    he was considered a HUGE up and coming actor. Only 32. Smh. He blew it.

  • BEANTOWN BULLI

    He gona get shot in his food truck!!!

  • Robert lee Bennett OG

    That show cast black people as savage and promote stereotypes it need to be took off the air

  • Yoni7

  • Topic Influencer

    She been mostly behind the scenes bc she is a writer/producer. She just became "visable" past few years when she started creating shows. She been around a long time tho. Since Girlfriends.

  • Yoni7

    I get that. I see her around/"on the scene" with Luuvie A LOT!

  • MrsSpice1

    No it does not!!!! It sheds light on the bs black people face in inner ghettos and suburbs esp Chicago!!! There are good things they promote and bAd... reality isnt always pretty!! I Love The Chi!!!

  • Soda

    You obviously have never seen it.

  • Soda

    Showtime ain't playing. They canceled the whole show after the female star of Smilf was accused of inappropriate behavior

  • xxxgracious

    Lmao dark skin aunt viv to light skin aunt viv scared me so bad as a kid. I was so lost and confused lmfao.

  • GuestSTAR

    The Chi is a good, quality show. What an idiot to screw up such a good opportunity and he's a main character.
    BTW: Just watched episode 6 last night can't believe her underage self is screwing her track coach.

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Had no damn idea .... sweet Lordy .... ya'll and these damn name changes ... this is why I go by the personality cause sweet Jesus had no damn idea

  • MrsSpice1

    I cannot believe it. Dangit man smh i like him alot!! I do know this much its always two sides two every story and the coin!!
    Many chicks cry rape n sht after consent with the dude they lay with and God forbid the dude doesnt like her that way or she doesn’t get her way!! I dont trust every broad that scream me too ?!!

  • Parent

    Aww man. I was rooting for this talented man. Loved his work in Mud. Just watched Tyrel on Hulu. Strange movie. Love The Chi. Damn man. I'm so disappointed in him.

  • Nik

    Very unfortunate because he's a great actor and always got excellent roles.

  • Ni Ni

    Me too lol

  • MrsSpice1

    Man dont be sooo quick to believe just because a broad crys assualt thats what actually happened!! We never give the man a chance to tell his side ppl just automatically assume because a woman say she was assaulted its TRUE! Thats BS!! And thats why alot of innocent black men are locked up!

  • Nik

    ???. Me too but will eat oatmeal and have a decent lunch later.

  • Parent

    I really hope it's not true because he came a long way. I have the utmost respect for him.

  • Nik

    THIS!

  • Parent

    They are stating multiple woman accused him.

  • Nik

    He was good in Mudbound.

  • Robert lee Bennett OG

    Yup saw it for the first time a few weeks ago nothing but ghetto and struggling and prisons

  • Parent

    Tiffany Boone and her husband make a beautiful couple. Hubby wasn't having none of that shat.

  • Phillybruh

    Multiple women from different sets he's been on sorry he's got issues.

  • therealashland

    Yall so quick to jump on a man, you don't even know what he is accused of or his side. smh

  • Mr.LeBrickJames

    Yup. But being stupid can cost you a lot of money sometimes. Looks like's gonna learn the hard way.

  • WhoKnew

    I liked him in Kong but I could never get into watching The Chi. It was incredibly stupid and vane of him to think he could sexually harass and violate women after all the positive movement towards trying to make people more aware that it is socially uncceptable to do so.

  • Phillybruh

    His agency dropped him, his co-star didn't feel comfortable filming with him without her man on set.

  • WhoKnew

    Trust and believe Lena knew about it so she needs to be fired as well. She probably only did something about him when the
    higher-ups gave her an "or else ultimatum" and made her do something. Otherwise, she probably would have let him keep going. They can both kick rocks. I detest sexual predators.

  • GAPeach

    I've been wanting to watch this show for free because I only have basic cable. Anyone know how I can make this happen?

  • Nathan Hastings

    I'll wait for more details.

  • Robert lee Bennett OG

    Got black men beating elderly black woman half to death stomping her all in the head. And young black males robbing and running drug syndicates... same trash as empire... when white folks see stuff like this they figure black folks don’t not worthy of life

  • WhoKnew

    His head got too big.

  • Nik

    I lovooooved him in Kong! I only saw one episode of The Chi.

  • Phillybruh

    It could have very well been the other way around, the studio may have been in his corner until he left the house and was doing it on other sets.

  • Mr.LeBrickJames

    "Welcome to Red Lobster. Here are your menus. Let me know when you're ready to order".

  • Sassie

    Damn. Dude sounds crazy as fuck. I wonder what they gonna do with the Chi? That show is pretty damn good.

  • Phillybruh

    Customer, wait aren't you the dude from the Chi...!!!

  • WhoKnew

    "They are stating multiple woman accused him"

    THIS!!! Where there's smoke there is definitely fire.

  • Sassie

    Oh COME ON! He's been accused by MULTIPLE women of inappropriate behavior and body slamming chicks too? All these big wigs wouldn't have dropped his ass like a hot potato if he was innocent.

  • WhoKnew

    True.

  • Karen Brady

    :-)

  • Sassie

    Multiple women in different scenarios and from different movies have accused him of shit and don't forget he body slammed another chick at another time. Dude has issues. Sounds hella violent and creepy. I'm sure ol' girl's husband wouldn't have had to come on set to PROTECT her if she was just making up shit.

  • starryeyed

    Yeah (as he gropes you)

  • Karen Brady

    :-) :-)

  • Sassie

    Yeah his ass got issues, man.

  • Phillybruh

    Because they didn't pull the show like they did the other show.

  • Karen Brady

    Didn't know he was in that but it's on my list to watch this summer, thanks!

  • Topic Influencer

    Im not sure if she knew. If she DID she needs to be punished tho. Im not sure how you fire the creator of the show but hell everyone can get it.

  • Soda

    Maybe it's a Chicago thing. Shameless also fits your description and is set there.?

  • WhoKnew

    You've got a point. Well, apparently it got so out of hand he had to go.

  • Sassie

    A lot of real life shit happens on that show. I live in the Chi and know LOTS of people like the ones depicted on the show. At least dude's character was positive.....but in REAL life that nigga crazy, smh.

  • Parent

    Quite possible. Too much ego.

  • Phillybruh

    And then guess whose getting free meals from red lobster for life ...this guy because they hired a predator....lol

  • starryeyed

    I like it lol

  • Karen Brady

    Okay I hear you and agree. This is something this man has been doing since his teens probably and I've seen women quit jobs out here in the 'real world' workplace because it's just 'easier' that way which pisses me off too!

  • WhoKnew

    ION know. I just don't think if the sexual harassment was that prevalent that she didn't know.

  • onelove

    lol

  • WhoKnew

    Yeah, I only saw 2 episodes of The Chi. Just couldn't get into it.

  • Sassie

    Now that I think about it I remember reading somewhere that he went off on a stewardess on a plane...got all loud and ignorant. I think they kicked him off or something...this was over a month ago. Dude got issues.

  • Sassie

    And he's also violent as hell.....

  • WhoKnew

    Exactly.

  • Nik

    Mary J Blige stars as well. You will love it!

  • DaughterOfaQueen

    Now you know you can’t respond to no damn body with a screen name like that?

  • Topic Influencer

    Too many women. On diff sets, shows, and on different networks. He is NOT that important for folks to sit around and make up lies on him! This type of thinking is dangerous and disgusting that the women are lying when it has happened under diff. circumstances more than ONCE. I dont believe in witch hunts, but I certaintly dont believe in happenstance and I dont believe in too many coincidences either. If it happened once or twice okay. I might. But More than that? Its a trend.

  • Nik

    For him to do so in light of swifts actions taken against other celebs for the same indicates he has a serious compulsion and needs intervention.

  • Sassie

    I just had one small bowl of oatmeal for breakfast..and a cup of tea..... and for lunch I made a greek salad and brought some plain spaghetti and shrimp for lunch (just tossed it in olive oil, garlic and added parm cheese, that's it)...LOL....I'm trying to lose weight.

  • cherrypie

    If true, this is very disappointing. The Chi is one of my favorite shows and Jason Mitchell is such a big part of it and one of my fav characters however, if this is true then he deserves to be fired. FOH Loser!!

  • Karen Brady

  • Rayscoty

    I enjoy his character on the show... These obsessed/ mentally ill fans love seeing celebrity lose their job. Before knowing any facts... Geesh

  • Reenaface

    I read that he auditioned for Straight Outta Compton via Skype because he couldn't make it to the actual audition. That takes preserverance. It's like these actors fight to make it to Hollywood just to f*ck up all of their opportunities over some big head ego sh*t. It ain't like we have that many shows to watch that features a mostly predominant black cast.

  • OUBoyWonder

    That Tyrel movie was sooo nothing. I can't believe I made it all the way through, I thought something was going to happen..nope, nada, zilch. Just him hanging out with white boys doing what white boys do and he gets paranoid *roll credits*. Don't waste your time with it folks, I'm serious, nothing happens in this movie.

    No i just take issue with a 1 sided opinion or story becoming judge and jury. I believe in due process,... there YOU go.

  • Fire & Ice

    Plus his roles haven't been stereotypical. I recently saw him in something that similar to "get out". That's crazy to destroy a promising career

  • Fire & Ice

    Right! Plus Hollywood is in edge right now with the whole me too thing. Such a shame because his career seemed so promising.

  • NeverSurprised

    "I"m not sure how you fire the creator of a show...."
    ----------
    Really? Well just ask Roseanne. She created the show, the character, everything.
    Now she's gone like dust in the wind.

    The studio can fire Lena in a heartbeat under her morals clause if they can show she knew of his illegal behavior and did nothing to stop it. Of course they WON'T fire her because of the whole lesbian thing.

  • Renee26

    Let me guess.... He's one of those men who thinks everyone wants him and he's entitled to sex and or unwanted flirting and suggestions. All hands and can't behave around women.

    He probably harrasses them all

  • NeverSurprised

    "Waithe did not respond to The Hollywood Reporter's request for a comment."
    -----------------------
    That right there tells me everything I need to know. She loves the spotlight and never misses an opportunity to hear herself pontificate. If she is silent, there has to be a pretty good reason for it. She's likely been told by her people to keep quiet and hope her role in this mess is quickly forgotten. It's a shame, because if it were a GHEY PERSON being abused or harrassed, it would be impossible to shut her up.

    He's lucky he got the role. Probably cause he had the look... Not showing up in person to audition was the first indication of his arrogance.

    I think he's the same one that got kicked off an airplane for acting a fool.

  • cherrypie

    I know but the mom isn't a regular. Haven't seen her since the 1st season but I was just starting to like his step dad. You would think that with everything going on with the Me Too movement that he would have more sense.

    ...not only is he a pig he looks like he still pees in the bed.

    As Bob Marley once said so eloquently:

    You're running and you're running
    And you're running away
    But you can't run away from yourself

    Great opportunity wasted because dude was feeling himself, and possibly feeling up on others. I hope this is a humbling and transformative experience for this young man.

  • Satin Panther

    Damn what? What the hell she do, feel on her male co-stars balls on set? What happened? This is crazy smh

  • NewNew

    If it happens once then it didn't happen enough times to be believable. If it happens too many times then it couldn't possibly have happened so much and is therefore unbelievable. Common denominator: Women are not worthy of being believed and men's reputations are to be protected at all costs. Yes some women mess up and ruin it for the rest of us but let's be honest, it was already ruined for the rest of us anyway.

  • Marlika

    I feel there’s more to the story.....

    Him being fired doesn’t necessarily make him guilty of the allegations. It could be a power move for the people who fired him to avoid a lawsuit from the actress or have to pay her any money.

    I know how it feels to be a black woman and speak up and being ignored. It only matters when white woman speak up. ???????

    I wonder if her boyfriend was pressuring her to do this. He could’ve been jealous. She could be pulling a Tisha Campbell right now for all we know.

    Why not quick a long time ago? Why let this go on for so long? Only the people behind the scenes know the truth. ?????

    But if any of these allegations are true he got what he deserved!

    That’s unfortunate - if the speculation and accusations are correct. I can’t believe any actor - especially black actors - in Hollywood would harass, threaten, or attack any females on set. Had the guy not had a history (of prior offenses and/or accusations) I would give him more leeway, cause black females can start some sh*t and leave *you* holding a bag of anger and rage. Meanwhile, they walk away laughing and antagonizing you cause they have *protected* status for certain environments and innuendos, and *some* use it as a shield to start sh*t. But since this dude has several allegations ?... there might be some truth somewhere. Hopefully, he gets help if it’s true.

    Tf?!

  • Rere

    Right! Lol

  • PLEASEDontTellMe

    I saw that interview and thought the uneasy way he flowed was nervous energy. I'm sad about this...i felt he was on his way...i love Tiffany Boone too ever since she played a little psycho on the show The Following

  • PLEASEDontTellMe

    Hbd?????

  • NeverSurprised

    Happy Birthday, Sushi.??? Enjoy your special celebration!!

  • Rodmilla De Ghent

    certain men dont know how to act in the presence of wight women especially when they have previously had no access to them.

  • Applebootay

    This last incident was offset tho????? either way it's still unfortunate and I hope he gets the help.he needs. His career was just taking off..?

  • Well$$Well$$?

    Damn. I really liked him on The Chi. He didn't learn anything from Bill Cosby? Or Harvey Weinstein? A wise man will learn from the mistakes of others...smdh

  • currvalicious

    I am floored! My favorite show on television outside of Power. Damn Jason! Just why? He's such a talented young actor. I've watched his work in other projects. I'd like a comment from him, something. For your management to drop you?? What the hell was he doing??? Wondering if this show can survive w/o his character.

  • MissMaryMack410

    I for one love this show and his character Brandon. I’m sadden that there was no resolve before having to come to the point of termination.The show will DEFINITELY tank without him.

  • ?HRH?_MYA

    Wow, and I thought he was a likeable guy, his acting was spot on in that Tyrell movie where he was acting manic?

  • currvalicious

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WORTH DAY! Enjoy. Another year of life is truly a blessing & thee greatest gift.

  • She.Is.Not.Ready

    The little chocolate boy is a very very good actor. He has a bright future ahead of him.

  • hi-liter

    He gone be a lil chocolate heart breaker one day.

  • currvalicious

    Damn! Smilf was cancelled? Didn't hear about that. Let me go to google...after I complete typing these letters for the Regional Director.

  • The Gay Tupac

    The woman he allegedly body slammed had rejected his advances prior to being attacked. He was accused of inappropriate behavior on the set of the movie outside of the Chi, AND let's not forget that epic meltdown he had on an airplane in August of 2017. So although he may not be guilty, Tiffany Boone's actions and that of her boyfriend are consistent with allegations made by others and it's fair for one to believe Tiffany was genuinely scared. Like I heard earlier, Tiffany isn't a big star so for her to be close to quitting because it got so bad on set is very telling and troubling.

  • KcoolMuziq

    This is SO disappointing to me about Jason. ‘The Chi’ is my favorite new show. And Jason( whom I attended a ULTRA private screening with for Mudbound with Mary J whom he dated) kills EVERY scene he is in. He was on his way to be a bonafied star. Smh.

  • Topic Influencer

    HBD SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Floriduhh Evans

    I remember watching his interview on The Breakfast Club, he seemed so grateful and down to earth. I'm shocked...

  • Alextra Ballard

    Happy Birfday ladee!!!! Enjoy

  • Soda

    Multiple employees of the show complained about inappropriately handled sex scenes, as well as the behavior of the show's star and creator, Frankie Shaw.

  • EasyBreezy

    Sadly, what this clown is alleged to be doing is NOT about sex. It's about control.

  • Gamer?? Chick

    watch series dot com

  • Shaylove1975

    He's a good actor. He's acting just like he has done nothing wrong. Acting is not for him. Tiffany should still have her job and she should have never had to go through the things she did on set. The show fail her but listened to others. It's not ok. It's in him to do those things and it has to be stopped now.

  • Shaylove1975

    Lena and Jason were cool just read his comments with them two on his last post he made from March 1st on Instagram. Probably why she is quiet.

  • MNjumpoffacliff

    Dang

  • more

    I saw the interview and you could tell he is a hood dude..he made commets about not wanting to be married and his multiple children.

    He definitely is not a sweet inocent but i am definitely surprised at this

  • Vegas1989

    He should have been called out by the Front Office and the Producer...And then GONE!!!!

  • SeannaPaula

    HBD Ms. Lady and enjoy your off dayz

  • KcoolMuziq

    The show will suffer but ALL the actors on there is top notch. I’m so upset over this.

  • GAPeach

    Thank you!

  • Jersey Girl

    Smear campaign against heterosexual black men. Period

  • Miss K

    Lena looks like someone’s crackhead uncle in that pic.

  • Gamer?? Chick

    You’re welcome.

  • TheWildChild

    I thought the way her absence was written out, seems like it may be permanent. What happened to the OG's living next door to the gang members? The one who is actually the "father" of Bobby's son ?

  • TheWildChild

    Yeah ? prolly kill him off in that raggedy food truck ?

  • Dahl

    Yes!

  • Li-Wright

    Black men imploding

  • SemajBeyPhilly

    Hella disappointed. Sooooooooooooo disappointed. Like wtf bruh?! Just stupid.

  • tintin

    Yah i can see that happening or that old Gentrifying n!gga killing him off

  • lilli lilian

    Damn near every episode of The Chi Jason looked like he had liquor for breakfast, he always had that sleepy drunk face with the drunk eyes. He probably has a problem with his tight pot belly having azz

  • TheWildChild

    I'm sure the producers are so mad with him now, prolly gotta rewrite scripts or ? they could just replace his character. I bet he went to far with his onscreen fiance in one of them love scenes.

  • Wreckognize Game

    I’ve never seen someone get fired before and there be no details like this one. Every outlet reports this story the same way. I’m thinking there must be a lawsuit filed or on its way.

  • Wreckognize Game

    She looks like she could have been happy hanging with the fellas and was probably cool with him since he starred on the show. If she knew and did nothing that will be messed up.

  • The Gay Tupac

    ??????? all this!

  • Sircaput

    Now a days the #metoo movement have made it to where you can't even say hello to woman without it being consider sexual harassment. I can almost guarantee it was something minor but yet in the days we are living in he should have known better and kept it moving now his whole career will suffer.

  • Floriduhh Evans

    Hmmm, you might be right

  • BogartKing

    Dam Harvey Weinstein,Kevin spacey, and Danny Masterson still ain't been charged yet godammmmmmmmmmmmm

  • Soda

    Did it work for you?

  • GAPeach

    I wasn't able to try. My TV went crazy on me an got about a million lines across the screen. I actually just bought another this morning.
