Hey everyone, when you are wealthy and over 80 it's ok to retire and do nothing. Don't need to go around making expensive blunders while assaulting others.

Wow, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I saw the maudlin statement filed with the lawsuit. Now he just sounds butthurt that things aren't going his way.

Holy shit, this guy is a complete fucking lunatic. This is actually how his lawsuit opens.

“Some people are creative. Very few people are creative geniuses. In the world of motion pictures, Plaintiff Francis Ford Coppola (“Coppola”) is a creative genius. Some people are jealous and resentful of genius. Those people therefore denigrate and tell knowing and reckless falsehoods about those of whom they are jealous. Here, Variety Media, LLC (“Variety”), its writers and editors, hiding behind supposedly anonymous sources, accused Coppola of manifest incompetence as a motion picture director, of unprofessional behavior on the set of his most recent production, Megalopolis, of setting up some type of scheme so that anyone on the set who had a complaint of harassment or otherwise had nowhere to lodge a complaint, and of hugging topless actresses on the set. Each of these accusations was false and knowingly so. They were made to harm Coppola’s reputation and cause him severe emotional distress. That harm has been caused.”

The desperation is setting in. He bet it all on this movie and he knows he's fucked. Good luck, Frank. I hope you are innocent of the charges, for your sake.
