Defamation claim...

I don't like being Sinead's pawn, which is how this is essentially shaping up.

But it's not just an axe to grind: that's the court hearing, but my actual issue is that Tory hates me and is making comment on my professional decisions ie suggesting my cannabis project was a waste of time. That was only true in the eyes of people that she sold some porkies to, and these adult professionals with years of film experience should have known to option the script. -


She's the one that tried to exile me until I got clean and agreed to be Tina.

If getting clean had been the priority, then Weeded Out should have died. Ask my mental health team if that stress was helpful... -


That attempt to exile me was another miscalculation: she bet that the town liked her more than me.

Turned out she was wrong, and people see me as bringing value to their communities regardless of whether I'm an actor or a journalist or a reviewer.

As a composer, it's only mildly irritating. As a film producer, it's like they're shitting on my films.

I made Tina an actor because I wasn't one. She wasn't supposed to be entirely me, and was a composite (much like all of my characters).
