Brett has been the subject of multiple public accusations of sexual misconduct, including allegations of harassment and assault by several women, which resulted in major Hollywood studios severing business relationships with him.
2/5
Brett Ratner’s career is honestly such a weird mix of blockbuster hits and personal controversy. On one hand, he knows how to make fun, commercial films that people still remember.
Brett Ratner is one of those directors where the movies made you laugh or stay entertained, but knowing what’s been reported about him makes it hard to separate the art from the person. Rush Hour and Red Dragon were huge hits, no doubt, but the sexual misconduct allegations really cloud his legacy. It feels like he had clout and connections, but personal accountability wasn’t on his radar. People still debate if you can enjoy his work while calling out his behavior, and Gen Z is definitely not letting him slide.
Okay… so he’s like that Rush Hour guy, but the vibe is VERY messy.
