Cuba Gooding Jr. Settles Rape Lawsuit Just Before Trial Was Set to Begin

Woman Who Sued Cuba Gooding Jr. For Allegedly Groping Her Won The Lawsuit

Cuba Gooding Jr. avoided his rape accusation court case by settling the lawsuit minutes before the trial began.

Cuba Gooding Jr. was accused of rape in 2013, the lawsuit was filed in 2020. On Tuesday (June 6), ahead of the trial beginning, the actor reached a settlement with his accuser. According to The Associated Press, the official court record stated, “Reason for cancellation (on consent): the parties have resolved the matter.”

The woman was anonymous throughout the leadup to the trial but would have had to reveal her identity at the beginning of the trial, as ruled by Judge Paul A. Crotty last week.

Variety originally reported Gooding Jr. invited the woman to his hotel room and began to undress in front of her. He would then block her exit and push her onto the bed before raping her. She sued the actor, but the amount of the damages was not disclosed.

Previous attorneys for Gooding Jr. expected the case to be dismissed, citing it was “false and perjurious.” However, the case made it to the eleventh-hour cancellation.

Damson Idris Reveals He Had Nightmares After Saying ‘Come on Devil’ to Get Past Acting Block

FuIw3GGaUAA ssj

Damson Idris went to a really dark place in order to complete Snowfall season 6. Speaking on a roundtable with other performers, Idris revealed he wanted to go dark for the conclusion of Franklin Saint, and it had real-life repercussions he didn’t expect.

In the season, Saint was called the devil, and he was aiming to get as deep into character as possible.

“This last season, I was hitting a block, and I went into a corner and went ‘come on devil, come on devil, come to me, come to me,” Idris revealed. “I had nightmares for a month. I had nightmares every day. I felt that energy. I had to pray and do all this stuff to get rid of it. I called my mom up and asked her to ‘bring me back to life.’ That stuff is real.”

Idris had to do a lot for Snowfall‘s sixth and final season, which ended with Franklin Saint walking the streets of Los Angeles, an alcoholic and now homeless, much like his father Alton.

The series’ closing moments were the final pieces of a teardown that once saw Saint flying as high as private jets and piloting his own planes. His girlfriend and mother of his son, Veronique, gone, in the wind, with the last of Franklin’s money. His Aunt Louie is on the run for life from federal authorities. Leon and Wanda are bouncing back and forth between Africa and Los Angeles. Franklin’s mom, Cissy, is presumed to spend the rest of her life in prison.

Speaking with Deadline after the series had concluded, the actor who portrayed Franklin Saint, Damson Idris, pulled back the curtain on filming those final moments of the series.

“His final moments were incredibly challenging. There was a fatherhood connection there, which I connected to personally so it was deeply emotional for me. Franklin’s connection to his father and his becoming an alcoholic was incredibly difficult,” Idris said.

He added, “Behind the scenes, I had a little flask with me that no one knew about. I would touch it with my lips just to have the taste. I’ll also admit that I didn’t shower. Luckily I wasn’t disrupting anyone with any odors.”

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Announces New Standalone Luke Hobbs ‘Fast & Furious’ Film

EP5X39YDvw4gMckWMKzD3e 1200 80

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is fully diving back into the world of Luke Hobbs and Fast & Furious.

Ahead of the release of Fast X, The Wrap revealed that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would return to the series, reversing his previous desire to stay away.

Johnson did just that, appearing in a post-credit scene as Luke Hobbs. Now, Deadline reveals the Hobbs character will receive another standalone movie.

“Last summer Vin and I put all the past behind us,” The Rock said. “We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve – and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love.”

In November 2021, series star Vin Diesel hit Instagram, begging The Rock to return to the franchise. At the time, The Rock responded: “I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return.”

He added, “Vin’s recent public post was an example of his manipulation.”

Industry insiders believe The Rock rejoining the franchise halts a cold streak that included Red Notice, Skyscraper, and more.
