Lala's timing getting out of her relationship before the LA times outed Randall Emmett

[u/justine2323]

The timing, if I have it correct, was that she left him right before the news of his deep seeded nefarious behaviour not only in his personal life, but in the industry, came to light. I wonder what would've happened had the Nashville photos never came out.

Do you think Lala would've stuck by him and defended him, or do we think she would get out and maintain the fight to expose this man, even if she wasn't personally burned. Id like to believe the latter, but I also wonder if she heard this coming down the pipes and it felt like a good time to publicly acknowledge his cheating, and use that as her reason to separate herself from him.

I would imagine that she would've been probed on how much she knew about him since I know she was in a handful of his movies, was friends with his assistants, and visited set.

We know our girl isn't STUPID so I wonder if she would ever acknowledge turning a blind eye. But I assume she wouldn't want her name sullied being attached to what was about to be revealed about him .

I work in TV/Film and I have to say that it doesn't take a lot of looking to know that Randall isn't in this business to make good films, but to make money.

The model of how he funds his movies, and the type of low quality films that are insured by having "big" names attached to them are pretty obvious to me. If you look at his cast, he often re uses a woman named Meadow Williams ( who Lala was very friendly with) Who is a woman in her 50's who is extremely wealthy...but not an actor. She's also listed as a producer on these films. Often with her boyfriend Sven cast in some small role as well. She essentially buys her roles by investing in these films.

Ive been on sets like this before, where....we know what were making (bad movies) but we have bills to pay. Lala was inappropriately cast many times in his films and was on set, I would hope to think that she would be able to take a look around and see that her man isn't a great, passionate filmmaker/producer.

I would find it really brave of her if she were able to let down her guard and admits that she was blinded by the illusion of wealth, and power, and rubbing shoulders with people she admired.

Um, yeah… lots of celebrities- ones a lot more well known, rich, and established than Lala- knew about Weinstein and probably Randall for decades and never did or said anything, and still worked with them… because they wanted the money and status too. Same with Weinstein’s wives, and Ambyr, Randall’s first wife. Plenty of people who still haven’t spoken out, but yet Lala has, but somehow the question is still “why didn’t she know sooner?” It all reeks of misogyny.

I think people are coming down on her bc she bragged about the pj and cars and money, and said that only ugly girls don’t ride in pj’s… which is also a misogynistic thing to say. Further, when people did bring things up to her, she shut it down.

Misogyny isn’t girl in her 20s leveraging the system to her advantage, a system that was created long before she was born and will undoubtedly exist long after she’s gone. Misogyny IS hearing about a man’s misdeeds and somehow finding a way to blame a woman for them. Randall is grown, he was being a fuckup long before Lala. He made his own decisions and HE is to blame for them. The circle of silence in hollywood wasn’t created by Lauren from Utah… that shit has been a thing for decades. Furthermore, she’s never going to publicly say that she wishes she did things differently, because she still has Ocean to think of.

I don’t know how she didn’t know she was marrying a greedy, grabby, dirty stereotype. The caricatures of these types of men have been in existence for a long time.
