    Robin Williams' Health Woes Before Suicide Highlighted in New Documentary

    WENN

    The late ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ actor’s struggles with Lewy Body Dementia before he took his own life will be featured in the upcoming documentary movie ‘Robin’s Wish’.
    Aug 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Robin Williams’ battle with Lewy Body Dementia will be chronicled in a new documentary.
    “Robin’s Wish” features behind-the-scenes footage of the beloved “Mrs. Doubtfire” star, who took his own life in August 2014 as he unknowingly struggled with the progressive neurological disease that was discovered after his death.
    “During the last year of his life, Robin was confronted with anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, scary altered realities and a roller coaster of hope and despair,” his widow Susan Schneider Williams tells Rolling Stone in a statement. “With our medical team’s care, we chased a relentless parade of symptoms but with very little gain.”
    “It wasn’t until after Robin’s passing, in autopsy, that the source of his terror was revealed: he had diffuse Lewy body disease. It was one of the worst cases medical professionals had seen.”
    Susan was able to cope with the loss of Robin and make sense of the breakdown ahead of his death after researching more about the illness as part of the film.
    “Armed with the name of a brain disease I’d never heard of, I set out on a mission to understand it, and that led me down my unchosen path of advocacy,” she adds. “With invaluable help from leading medical experts, I saw that what Robin and I had gone through finally made sense – our experience matched up with the science. And what I discovered along the way was bigger than me, and bigger than Robin. The full story was revealed during the making of this film and it holds the truth that Robin and I had been searching for.”
    “Robin’s Wish”, directed by Tylor Norwood, also features interviews with the icon’s collaborators and will be released digitally on 1 September (20).

    'Marriage Boot Camp': Tahiry Jose's Boyfriend Vado Kicked Out of House Following Choking Drama

    WE tv

    Before sending the ‘Jeff Hamilton’ rapper to a hotel, the WEtv reality show’s host Dr. Ish assures him that he isn’t fired from the show after he choked his girlfriend.
    Aug 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Vado is facing the repercussion of assaulting girlfriend Tahiry Jose while filming for “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition”. In the Thursday, August 6 episode of the WEtv show, host Dr. Ish and producers decided to kick him out after jumping on Tahiry and choking her in the previous episode.
    “I can’t have you in the house,” Dr. Ish told Vado. “I can’t have people doing emotional work in an environment where they don’t feel safe.”
    However, Dr. Ish assured him that he wasn’t fired from the show. “I’m not kicking you out of the program, but I gotta get you out of this house,” he continued explaining before Vado was sent to a hotel.
    When asked why he attacked Tahiry, Vado tried to defend himself by saying that Tahiry threw apples at his face beforehand. “She can hit you with two hands on the face, you still can’t put hands back on her,” Dr. Ish told him. “You gotta use some words. You can’t use hands. You know you can’t do that. I can’t have you around her.”
    Meanwhile, Tahiry was struggling to register what Vado did to her. “Vado lost it. He put his hands on me. That’s not like him,” she said in a confessional. Dr. Ish then assured her that “there’s nothing you did to trigger that. There’s nothing you did to deserve that.”
    In the episode, Tahiry also opened up about surviving past domestic abuse. Sharing the clip to her Instagram account, she wrote, “I’ve definitely been reading through all of your comments, thoughts, and opinions on what happened during last weeks episode.”
    “A lot of people feel a lot of different ways, and I understand that. I’ve spent this time gathering my thoughts so that when I do speak on it very soon I can do so from a place of healing, and not emotions,” she added. “THANK YOU to everybody that’s been sending me so much love! I truly appreciate it!”

    'Mission: Impossible 7' Director Blames Disgruntled Employee for Rumor About Historic Bridge Blow Up

    WENN/TVGroove.com

    Christopher McQuarrie is quick to offer clarification over claims that the producers of the action movie were planning to destroy a historical Polish landmark in an explosive scene.
    Aug 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Mission: Impossible VII” director Christopher McQuarrie has shut down reports he destroyed a historical Polish landmark for an explosive scene in Tom Cruise’s new movie.
    Sources told media outlets the producers of the action movie were planning to blow up a 100-year-old bridge for one sequence, but the filmmaker has now come forward and insisted the rumours were nothing but lies from a disgruntled employee.
    “One individual, for reasons I cannot specify without revealing their identity, claimed they were owed a job on the production, for which we felt they were not adequately qualified,” Christopher wrote in a statement to Empire. “When this individual’s demands were not met, they retaliated.”
    “After harassing members of our production publicly and anonymously on social media, as well as privately, this individual misrepresented our intentions and concealed their personal reasons for wanting to penalise us. In short, this individual manipulated the emotional response of the people in a move that has now compromised our ambitions to bring our production to Poland.”
    Christopher went on to insist the producers were blowing up an unused bridge to pave way for a revitalisation of the railroad system in the Eastern European country, not destroy a century-old historic landmark.”
    “The people we spoke to were excited by the prospect of our bringing a large film production to Poland and the resources it would inject into the local economy (Poland has just released a new film incentive program, and wanted a known project to promote its film industry),” he added. “They were also delighted that we’d be making way for a new bridge that might otherwise not be rebuilt, and might lead the government to revitalise the railroad line.”
    “Mission: Impossible VII” just recently resumed filming after production was shut down back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. The movie is scheduled to reach theatres next year.
