Chapter 141 - 403

Kazir was never secretive about his romantic relationship. He had dated Cameron Diaz. He also had a relationship with Reese Witherspoon although none of the two confirmed what their relationship really was. Currently, Kazir is dating Angelina Jolie... However that might also change knowing that Angelina stopped talking to him.

An article about his romantic relationship caught Kazir's attention. He thought it was normal gossip but the further statements made him frown.

-- After working with Director Grey In Napoleon Dynamite, Reese Witherspoon and the director started showing up together in formal parties and movie premieres.

-- Although it's not confirmed, our team deduced that Brianna Evans also had a relationship with Kazir while filming Taken. The fact that the two were caught eating together and getting flirty in a restaurant meant a lot.

-- Before Cameron Diaz was cast for her role in The Bourne Identity, she already had a scandal with Kazir. Some rumors said that the two did a "business" so that Cameron Diaz would have a role in The Bourne Identity.

-- As for Angelina, Kazir's current girlfriend. The two also started dating when Wanted was in production.

-- After so many clues and obvious facts that our team gathered, we concluded that Kazir is a predator. He likes doing "Casting Couch" and preying on weak women. He promised roles to the actresses in exchange for sexual gratification.

"Wow, what a bullshit conclusion."

Being the person in the talk, Kazir knew that the article was a complete lie. In the first place, he never does casting couch. He never offers roles in exchange for sex.

His relationships with these actresses bloomed because they became close after working together on movie projects, except Brianna Evans of course. He never had hidden intentions.

"This kind of article is asking for a lawsuit. I feel like the writer is desperate for something."

Usually, this kind of gossip only appeared in unpopular tabloids but never in newspapers. Newspapers took the importance of their pride and credibility. They rarely publish articles that lack valid information.

However, after thoroughly reading the article, Kazir knew that some information was real while some were not, and that was a huge problem. Because once you mix lies and truths, it is hard to determine if it is real or not.

In this case, average citizens might think that the article was right. It could damage Kazir's reputation. If people started calling him a predator, that would affect his projects. Kazir wanted none of that.

This article was obviously trying to tarnish Kazir's reputation. Someone wanted to destroy him... Kazir has some people in mind but he couldn't pinpoint who it was exactly.

"Let's see... This newspaper is owned by Comcast... Now that I think about it, Comcast would become the parent company of Universal Pictures a few years later. Did Comcast start their acquisition?"

Vivendi's acquisition of Universal Pictures was not fruitful. The losses that Universal Pictures had were too huge for Vivendi to handle.

"If I'm right, Vivendi will still hold Universal Pictures for a while before selling it."

Production studios were profitable but they also had losses every year. Universal Pictures had incomplete projects that never reached the theaters despite investing millions. Sometimes, the movies they invested in too much never brought the right amount of profit. The best examples were Batman and Robin, John Carter, and Superman Returns.

Warner Brothers and Walt Disney put too much into these movies but the amount of money that returned to their pockets was not satisfying. It would take at least a decade before they could recover their loss.

Vivendi could not afford to wait that long. Not when Vivendi was also in a tight spot. The company was also suffering from a huge debt.

In their opinion, Universal Pictures should focus on movies that have high profitability. Perhaps hire a director who could bring them profits... Unfortunately for Universal Pictures, their relationship with Kazir was not that great.

"Perhaps Universal Pictures is trying to attack me this time."

He knew that the one responsible for Tobey's scandal was Universal Pictures, and then Walt Disney and Warner Brothers joined to spite the actor. The one that started the scandal was Universal Pictures.

In fact, after doing some research, they found that the paparazzi were working under one of Universal Pictures' small tabloid publishers.

With that in mind, Kazir felt like this article could be the start of another attack from Universal Pictures. The studio was trying to destroy him.

It didn't matter if this information was real. As long as the people believe it, then it is real. That was the incredible power of the media. They could make a false story into a true one.

"I probably have to contact the PR team before things get worse."

This could turn into a battle between him and Universal Pictures.

The next day, Kazir's legal team delivered a cease and desist letter to the publishing company. Telling them to stop the defamation or else they would settle it in court.

The publishing company stopped... But stopping dozens of publishing companies all at once might be troublesome.

Two days later, stories of Kazir's terrible act surfaced. Some people were skeptical while some believed the stories.

To make matters worse, even news TV shows started talking about Kazir. They were really serious about destroying Kazir's career.

Terms such as "allegedly", "r*pe", "casting couch", and "domestic abuse" were used to describe Kazir. Kazir's team was working hard to stop these allegations from spreading but their enemy was two giant media companies.

He was now a threat to some Big Studio because his talent was destroying the business.

Obviously, 2 Fast 2 Furious was also affected by this sudden news. The box office showed a decline when Kazir's name sank into the mud
