‘Guardians’ guy: Warned of Toback
“GUARDIANS OF THE Galaxy” director James Gunn says he’s been telling anyone who would listen about fellow director James Toback and his alleged creepy come-ons.
In a blunt Facebook post — tweeted with the message “Why I’ve despised James Toback for over 20 years” — Gunn says that when he lived in New York during the 1990s, he met over a dozen women who said they were “accosted” by the “Two Girls and a Guy” director.
“It’s important to say, I don’t have any firsthand information about any of this,” Gunn, 51, wrote. “But the stories are so eerily similar . . . I know the chances of them being untrue . . . well, it would just be impossible.
“I’ve been bringing up James Toback every chance I could in groups of people. I couldn’t stop him, but I could warn people about him.”
The Los Angeles Times published an article in which 38 women accused Toback, now 72, of sexually harassing them. He has vehemently denied the allegations.
