When you owe the government $38 Million in taxes and you have filed a false tax return for $7 Million it doesn’t matter if you have Tom Brokaw, Barbara Walters or Spike Lee (the only black person mentioned) speak up for your character, stick a fork in it, it’s done. Wes also pissed off a lot of Hollywood big wigs when he refused to promote his last major motion pic Blade Trilogy. He was right about the fact that HE was the star, after the previous two smash hits but the studios asked him to promote the third movie with two white co-stars giving them equal credit, he refused and the movie tanked. At that point, the then, my-color-is-not-an-issue actor realized.. that he was indeed……. BLACK! He is having members of the black church rally around him to support his cause (now he’s really going to be broke) It’s pretty much been downhill ever since. He faces up to 16 years in prison.
