I agree with you 100%, many of us don't know the inner workings of the entertainment industry. Many people in this industry sing the same song -- you have to go along to get along and for those who fail to go along, they will ruin their careers. Hang in the Cuba, you have a lot of people outside of the entertainment industry that support you.

I met Cuba Gooding Jr in 2018 when he came to London, UK and performed in Guys & Dolls in the West End. I found him a down-to-earth person. Once he sorts out his personal life. I do hope that we see him again on our screens soon. No one should be written off! I would love to work with him! He is a talented actor. I loved the film that he did with Mr Robert De Niro called: "MEN OF HONOUR".

Cuba Gooding was married to Sara Kupferman NOT Sarah Paulson. Sarah Paulson is in a long term, same-sex relationship with fellow actor Holland Taylor.

[@kimbrown419]

I knew people who he grew up with in Apple Valley California. Everyone loved him and no one said anything bad about him. He actually played football with an X of mine. Anyway I always any movie he was in and there were a lot! He was not married to Sarah Paulson, they did the O.J. movie together. His wife was white but not a celebrity.
