Randy Quaid Drops BBM Lawsuit (Multiple Threads Merged)

[wtbgirl]

Randy Quaid dropped his lawsuit against Focus Features.  Although speculation is that there might have been a confidential payment made, both parties are simply reporting that he dropped the suit.  Either way, I am personally glad to see this distasteful blemish on the Brokeback landscape over and done with.

Maybe he realized that he didn't have a chance in hell!

He's going to get hired again real soon.....NOT!

Good news, but I wish to goodness this had never come up in the first place. Anything that sheds a negative light on this beautiful, life-enhancing movie pains me greatly. And yes, I think many producers will think twice before hiring Mr. Quaid on another movie.

Too funny! He drops the suit saying they settled with Focus. He says Focus will pay him an "unspecified amount" in bonus pay. Then Focus responds by saying they never negotiated and are surprised at his comment...but obviously pleased with his decision to drop.

I really hope they didn't give him an unspecified amount! There are other, less greedy people that deserved it more, I'm sure!

(By the way, someone else started this thread a little bit ago and for some reason it was moved.    )
