It's not as the ads depict, "The Truth."
It's a fraud.
Eastwood depicts a female reporter, Kathy Scruggs, as trading sex for tips.
And according to all who knew Kathy Scruggs, who died in 2001, this is slander created for "artistic license." (Translation: A lie.)

(420 posts)would use misogynistic stereotypes of women who apparently can only get ahead by using sex rather than their professional talents. I do want to see the movie as I was there the night the bomb went off and also hope the legacy of this man an be remembered after he was treated in such an awful way. Sad he isnt alive to see this.

(7,715 posts)...it's no surprise that Clint "Empty Chair" Eastwood would make this movie.
That being said, AFAIK, Richard Jewell was fucked beyond belief.

(6,699 posts)His idiotic stunt with the chair lost any respect that I might have had for this egotistical dumb ass. Honestly...his acting career was almost all bloviating self aggrandizement garbage, in my opinion, anyway. Entertaining....but real fiction macho crap. 3rd rate shit...even worse than ronnie and the monkey.
