The dark picture painted by the allegations of repeated sexual misconduct against prominent figures in Hollywood and the entertainment industry at large is reflected in the state of the film and television industry as a whole. While there has been a shift in public awareness about sexual assault and harassment since the #MeToo movement began, the problem is still prevalent to this day.

In a bizarre post-fight interview in the cage, MMA fighter Joel Bauman had some harsh words for Jimmy Kimmel and others following his victory at Fury FC 68 back in August 2022.

Bauman defeated Anthony Ivy and launched a tirade against Hollywood, accusing them all of being pedophiles. He also stated that his stance will not change until the flight logs of well-known figures are made public:

“Jimmy Kimmel, viral this. I fight to eradicate childhood malnutrition from the planet, and until they release the flight logs, you, the mainstream media, Hollywood, you’re all pedophiles to me. Eat d**k!”

Most famously, Lolita Express, the private plane of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was rumored to have carried high-profile celebrities and names like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Kevin Spacey. Rumors came out that the jet was used to transport minors to some of Epstein's estates. These names came to light when Epstein's flight logs were made public.

Retired UFC fighter revealed that wildlife educator Steve Irwin wanted to fight Hollywood star Vin Diesel in an MMA bout

Kyle Noke, a retired Australian MMA fighter, competed in the UFC between 2010 and 2016. He was a close friend of the late Steve Irwin, a world-renowned wildlife educator and environmentalist.

Noke stated in a 2019 episode of The Fair One podcast that Steve Irwin wanted an MMA fight with Hollywood actor Vin Diesel. Noke alleged that Irwin forced him to watch a Vin Diesel film in order to evaluate his possible opponent:

"He [Steve Irwin] said we are going to watch a movie... The Pacifier with Vin Diesel... 'I wanna fight him so I want to go there and size him up'... Yeah so we went to watch the Pacifier, one of the worst movies ever saw. But the whole idea was for him to size Vin Diesel up for a fight."

Noke revealed that Wesley Snipes was Irwin's original opponent of choice. He stated that Irwin shifted his focus to Diesel after seeing that Snipes was far smaller than he was. However, Noke conceded he had no idea if the Hollywood star was aware of Steve Irvin's intentions to fight him.
