Here’s the synopsis according to Deadline : The film will follow the rise and untimely demise of Hampton as seen through O’Neal’s eyes. It will explore how the FBI infiltrated the Black Panthers, the psychology of their informant and the notorious assassination of the young political leader who died aged only 21. It’s a major story as Hampton quickly rose to the upper echelon of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party and eventually became the deputy chairman of the national organization. As he became more visible and charismatic in his speeches, he became a target of the FBI and was killed in a raid by Chicago police along with the FBI. Fellow Panther Mark Clark also died in the raid as the two men were sleeping. O’Neal, who gave the FBI the plans to Hampton’s Chicago apartment, died by suicide in 1990.

For the past several months, rumors have been circulating that Kevin Hart cheated on his wife, Eniko Parrish. And now, at long last, he’s confirming the rumors — explicitly. This whole mess began this summer, when a video of Kevin began making the rounds. The video showed him sitting in a car with two other people, one being a woman who was not his wife. Nothing really happened in that video, but people far and wide viewed it as evidence that he’d been stepping out on Eniko , who was pregnant at the time with their first child. Then, in September, a woman who was later revealed to be a stripper named Montia Sabbag tried to blackmail him with video footage she had of them together. It wasn’t a sex tape in the truest sense, but the tape did seem to heavily imply sex. After the news of the video began circulating, Kevin tried to get in front of the scandal by apologizing to his family in an Instagram video. “I made a bad error in judgment and I put myself in a bad environment where only bad things can happen and they did,” he explained. He also said “It’s a sh-tty moment. It’s a sh-tty moment when you know you’re wrong and there’s no excuses for your wrong behavior. At the end of the day, man, I just simply gotta do better.” Reading between the lines, he definitely admitted to the cheating, right? But still, he never directly confessed to it … until now! In a lengthy interview on the Power 105.1 radio show, Kevin discussed what happened that night, and though we all pretty much knew the basics, it’s still pretty shocking to hear him talk about it like this. When asked what he was thinking when he “got caught cheating,” he admitted “It’s beyond irresponsible.” “There’s no way around it,” he continued. “The best way to do is just address it right on, you just gotta say exactly what it is: that’s Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment.” “That’s not the finest hour of my life, but that being said, you make your bed, you lay in it. You can’t even say ‘What were you thinking?’, because you weren’t thinking.” Continuing his stream of real talk, he said “That’s where the false reality comes in to a f-ck-up. You don’t plan to f-ck up, you f-ck up and then you go ‘Oh sh-t, I f-cked up.'” “I rightfully stand in front of my f-ck-up, hands in the air. I’m guilty, regardless of how it happened and what was involved and sh-t I can’t talk about. I’m guilty.” He elaborates more on what he means by “sh-t I can’t talk about” momentarily, but for now he says that since he is guilty of cheating, “I’m gonna face the music.” “I’m gonna go home, I’m gonna address it, I’m gonna make my wife full aware of what’s going on and the situation I have now put us in, and I’m hoping she has a heart to where she can forgive me and understand that this is not going to be a reoccurring thing and allow me to recover from my f-cking massive mistake.” It’s refreshing that he’s able to admit that he’s completely wrong, isn’t it? About Eniko and how she’s handling the whole thing , he said that “It’s a cold house. It’s a very cold house for a minute, and rightfully so.” From there, he insisted that this is the first time he cheated — despite rumors that he was cheating on his first wife with his current one. He explained that his first marriage wasn’t great, and that they were both with other people before the divorce because they were both “done” with each other. “That’s not f-cking up,” he said. “This time, granted, I f-cked up. But in f-cking this up, I’m like ‘I gotta repair this because this is what I want. This is my foundation.” Well, that’s … sweet? Kind of? Next, he was asked about what circumstances led to the cheating, but Kevin answered with “I can’t even get into the f-cked up status behind the whole thing, there’s a real federal investigation.” Still, he was sure to follow up with “regardless of that, I’m wrong.” However, he does say that “When this sh-t breaks down, you’re gonna be like ‘Oh my f-cking god,’ it’s the freakiest of the freakiest.” The whole thing, he said, was “a reality check and a gut-punch from God.” Since the whole thing went down, Kevin said that he and Eniko have been trying to move forward with their relationship — and they even welcomed their first child together, an adorable little boy named Kenzo, last month. She’s still upset with him, and according to him, that’s her right, and she’ll be upset from time to time for a long time, probably. But he’s willing to admit his mistake, and they’re willing to work it out together. So as far as cheating scandals though, Kevin seems to be making out as best as he possibly can. … Congrats?

When it comes to the debate on sexual harassment and misconduct in Hollywood, Alyssa Milano has just made it very clear: She’s the boss. The actress – who has been as responsible as anyone for promoting the #MeToo movement and who has been a vocal supporter of every woman who has recently spoken out – took to Twitter on Friday night and straight up owned Matt Damon. The typically beloved star has been criticized mightily over the past 24 hours. He spoke to Peter Travers of ABC News this week and made far too many attempts to parse the differences between various acts that have gotten men in trouble of late. From Al Franken resigning from the Senate for grabbing the butts of women… to Louis CK admitting he masturbated in front of women… to Matt Lauer being fired for alleged rape and other heinous behavior, countless stars have gotten in major trouble for treating women with disrespect. Asked about this watershed moment in the country, Damon initially told Travers: “I think it’s great. I think it’s wonderful that women are feeling empowered to tell their stories – and it’s totally necessary.” But then he kept going, sticking his foot deeper and deeper into his mouth. “I do believe there’s a spectrum of behavior,” he said, stating the obvious and missing the point of the #MeToo movement. “There’s a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right? “Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated.” Minnie Driver, who co-starred with Damon in Good Will Hunting, immediately shook her head over Damon’s comments. “There are so many men I love who do NOT frame the differentiation between sexual misconduct assault and rape as an excuse or worse- our problem. Such bollocks,” Driver Tweeted. But Milano went even further. Focusing especially on Damon’s assertion that men are being punished these days because we live in a “culture of outrage,” the actress took the actor to school. She also explained why rape and the occasional sexist comment may be different, but they contribute to the same thing. “Dear Matt Damon, It’s the micro that makes the macro,” Milano wrote to open her response. Continued Milano: “We are in a ‘culture of outrage’ because the magnitude of rage is, in fact, overtly outrageous. And it is righteous. “I have been a victim of each component of the sexual assault spectrum of which you speak. They all hurt. “And they are all connected to a patriarchy intertwined with normalized, accepted–even welcomed– misogyny.” We really can’t say any of this better than Milano, so we’re just gonna let her keep going… We are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture. We are outraged because we were made to feel this was normal. We are outraged because we have been gaslighted. We are outraged because we were silenced for so long. There are different stages of cancer. Some more treatable than others. But it’s still cancer. Sexual harassment, misconduct, assault and violence is a systemic disease. The tumor is being cut out right now with no anesthesia. Please send flowers. #MeToo View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired? BOOM, right? Game, set, match, Alyssa Milano. Most people seem to agree that Damon meant no harm with his comments and that he was just trying to be understanding. The thing is, he was trying to be understanding of the men , not the women . The best thing men can do in this climate right now is simply listen. The worst thing they can do, even the well-intentioned ones? Pretend they know best, as Damon did here.
