3 Movies That Were Destroyed By Their Stars' Untimely Scandals, And 2 That Somehow Survived

On June 27, 1995, just 18 days before the release of Nine Months — a big summer comedy that 20th Century Fox had a lot riding on — its star, Hugh Grant, was arrested in Hollywood for receiving oral sex in a public place from a sex worker named Divine Brown.Grant, who was dating fellow actor Elizabeth Hurley at the time, quickly released a statement: "Last night I did something completely insane. “I want to eat you,” the disturbing DMs say at one point; “100% a cannibal” in another.Three days later, Hammer addressed the controversy when he released a statement dropping out of Shotgun Wedding, a movie he was scheduled to make with Jennifer Lopez.He wrote, “I’m not responding to these bulls–t claims, but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot, in good conscience now, leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. The film was scheduled to be released just five weeks later on April 26.Sure, Nine Months and Crisis kept their original release dates and things worked out (at least to some degree), but this situation might be different considering just how large this scandal was and how upset many parents were to see a mother abuse the admissions process like this.How mom-themed was the movie? Early in the day on Nov. 9, 2017, The Orchard — the distributors of Louis C.K.'s comedy/drama I Love You, Daddy — abruptly canceled the United States premiere that was due to happen that night at New York's Paris Theatre, citing "unforeseen circumstances."Later in the day, it became clear what those "unforeseen circumstances" were when the New York Times released an article where five women detailed sexual misconduct by the comedian/filmmaker.
