Forged your minds back to 2010, when rape jokes were considered the height of risqué comedy and when Get Him to the Greek's largest shining stars – Russell Brand, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, and Jonah Hill – have been on the peak of their Hollywood fame.
Directed by Nicholas Stoller& and Jason Segel, Model starred in the Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin-off movie in his reprised position of rockstar Aldus Snow, with Combs posing as Sergio Roma, the chief of fictional document label Pinnacle Data.
Enter Hill as budding government Aaron Green, who alongside Combs tries to get the wayward rocker to the Greek Theatre in LA for his 10th anniversary present.
Feels like a wonderfully innocent comedy… right?
One clip from the film recently kicked up a storm on social media, after Diddy was accused of a criminal offense which his character Sergio primarily acts out in a scene.
While Diddy denies all accusations towards him – which have come by way of five separate legal documents in current months – followers of the movie have been quick to level out the eerie similarities.
The clip resurfaced on X and sees Combs' character Roma sexually visitors a lady referred to as Destiny to Aaron.
'Excuse me, come right here for a second, what's your identify?' Roma asks Destiny – played by Carla Gallo – in what followers referred to as a 'sick' scene.
'Future, concentrate,' he continues. 'You will go and have sex with Aaron right now.'
Aaron mutters, 'Disrespectful,' before the scene cuts. Afterward within the film Aaron then accuses Future of raping him.
Figuring out the accusations posed towards Combs now, this scene has new sinister undertones.
In the newest lawsuit introduced towards Combs, former producer and videographer for the Coming House rapper, Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones alleges Combs pressured him to have sex with prostitutes.
That is the last of five units of legal documents which lay out critical allegations, the primary of which got here late last yr from Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie, who accused him of rape and violent behaviour. The claims were settled the next day,& and he denied any wrongdoing.
Combs was then accused of having drugged and date-raped a university scholar, and later sharing a 'revenge porn' type video of the abuse.
A 3rd then came forward,& claiming that the rapper and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and a pal, earlier than 'choking her in a violent rage'.
In& the fourth lawsuit one other lady – generally known as Jane Doe – alleged that she was attacked by Combs when she was a young person.
Combs& issued a blanket denial of all allegations& towards him in December, saying in a press release: 'Sufficient is sufficient. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched individuals attempt to assassinate my character, destroy my popularity and my legacy.'
'Sickening allegations have been made towards me,' he continued.
'Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful issues being alleged. I'll struggle for my identify, my family and for the reality.'
In September,& comedian, actor and now YouTube conspiracy theorist& Brand was& accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse& by four ladies in a joint investigation by The Occasions, The Sunday Occasions and Channel four Dispatches – allegations he strenuously denied.
Metro.co.uk did some digging into the behind-the-scenes of Get Him to the Greek, and located some further startling outcomes.
In a video posted by Combs and his 'pricey good friend' Model across the time of filming, they can be seen flying off to Las Vegas in a personal jet for a weekend away.
The rapper introduces the comic as a 'pricey good friend' as they speak about how they're going to 'find some ladies to have intercourse with'.
'You've offered the aircraft, the tickets, the lodge for the large battle, I've offered the tooth picks although,' Brand tells the digital camera.
'And the whores,' Diddy provides.
'Properly okay, we've not mentioned that, however alright I'll try to… I'm not a misogynist, I'm towards that sort of language. I like to think about them as damsels,' replied Brand.
'What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' can also be stated throughout the clip.
Another video from 12 years in the past also got here to mild – this time of Hill backstage at Get Him to the Greek.
The Superbad actor might be seen following a lady's bum with a digital camera after spinning round in a dance scene.
He then seemingly says: 'Nick, I'm gonna move out,' whereas targeted on a lady's bum, resulting in an eruption of laughter on set. Right here, he might be referring to director Nicolas.
The video, posted to YouTube, is titled Behind the Scenes – Get Him to The Greek and was posted by BTS Films.
This comes after Hill's ex-girlfriend accused him of being a 'misogynist' and a 'narcissist' during their years together in a scathing social media publish last yr.
The surf teacher – Sarah Brady& – posted a string of textual content messages she claims have been exchanged between the pair on Instagram, through which he appeared to lay out his vastly misjudged 'boundaries'.
Within the messages, the actor requested Sarah to remove any browsing pictures from her Instagram which showed her 'a** in a thong' and when she stated she had deleted 'all of the posts', Hill allegedly advised her it was a 'good begin' but she didn't 'seem to get' his point.
The second screenshot then appeared to point out Hill warning her that if she surfed with males, had 'inappropriate friendships with males', fashions, posts footage of herself in a 'bathing go well with' or 'sexual footage', and has friendships with 'ladies in unstable locations', then he was not the best man for her.
Alongside the social media allegations, Sarah added: 'Somebody being an emotionally abusive companion doesn't imply they're a terrible individual (typically stems from their very own trauma).
'On the similar time, it doesn't mean it's OK.'
Days later former Zoey 101 actress Alexa Nikolas, 31, recommended on Twitter that Hill 'slammed' her towards a door and 'shoved his tongue down my throat' without her consent when she was 16 years previous.
Addressing the allegation, Hill's lawyer Marty Singer advised Deadline that the alleged incident 'never occurred'.
The previous baby star claimed in her social media thread that the alleged incident occurred when she and the 22 Leap Road star stepped outdoors to get a cigarette during a house get together.
'Jonah Hill came to visit sooner or later and we have been all pretty wasted due to course the predators have been feeding us minors a bunch of alcohol,' she wrote.
The Hollywood actress continued: 'Jonah Hill didn't hand me the cig which I assumed was weird after which as we walked back to the door I asked him for it and he stated nothing but slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat.
'I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside.'
So this isn't just an harmless comedy – however a movie created regardless of, or in the image of – its misogynistic forged.
Alongside Get Him to the Greek are a swathe of other Superbad-era films, which might have a less problematic forged, however all nonetheless exist in this similar boys' membership we received so desensitised to, and at the moment are wanting back on with recent, essential eyes.
Get Them within the Bin is the comedy we're all nonetheless waiting for 23 years on. Greta Gerwig, the place are you?
