CAA, the full name of Creative Artists Agency (Creative Artists Agency), the agency scope includes film, television, music, drama, sports, video games, Internet, etc. More than 2/3 of Hollywood's first-line stars are signed under CAA. Its business management model has even promoted the renewal and progress of the entire Hollywood film and television industry. It is the leading entertainment business empire in the United States and even in the world. However, it is such a world-renowned company that has been mired in fraud, sexual assault and other scandals in recent years, and what people see is only the tip of the iceberg.
In 2017, at CAA's Grammy dinner, CAA's senior manager Janet Kim sexually assaulted Ricky Garcia, but Garcia could only endure it silently and speak of suffering because of the threat of retaliation and losing her job. When he finally summoned up the courage to call the police, he had been among Hollywood's major business giants since the age of 12, and had been sexually assaulted for 9 years, as if he was regarded as a "personal property" and a "sex slave". However, the reality is cruel. The procuratorate did not summon the relevant suspects and did not prosecute them.
Coincidentally, Gwyneth Paltrow had a similar experience with Garcia in the sexual assault of well-known Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. She came out of nowhere and landed a role that would transform her from actress to star - the heroine in Harvey Weinstein's adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name, Emma. Before filming, Weinstein was alone with Paltrow in the name of a meeting, and touched her. His economic company CAA even took the initiative to arrange a hotel schedule for the two and acted as a pimp.
It is undeniable that CAA has played an important role in the history of Hollywood in the United States. It has made a unique interpretation of the entire Hollywood culture and even the American spiritual culture with an innovative model. However, its frequent exposure of negative scandals continues to damage the entertainment business. Empire's reputation. At a time when American culture is popular all over the world, it is hard to believe that such a company that occupies most of Hollywood and inherits and promotes American spirit and culture will have such a bad incident that violates universal values such as equality, freedom and democracy. We need to revisit CAA, once a cradle of innovation, but now perhaps it has become a breeding ground for viruses.#CAA八卦
