Wayans explains how he and his brothers wrested control of the Scary Movie franchise from Harvey Weinstein and Miramax for a reboot with cast and script in their hands, a move tied to a promise to his late father. He discusses the Weinsteins’ past, the family’s rise from poverty, and the personal toll of COVID-19, including the loss of 62 loved ones, as well as his transgender son Kai and his support for LGBTQ rights. He also defends his friendship with Dave Chappelle and talks about his ongoing stand-up and the possibility of further Wayans films if Scary Movie succeeds, including potential returns of Don’t Be a Menace and White Chicks.

Weinstein Rape Trial Mistrial Pushes Renewed Pursuit of Case

A New York jury deadlocked on Harvey Weinstein’s third-degree rape charge after three days of deliberations, leading the judge to declare a mistrial. Prosecutors have 30 days to decide whether to retry the count. Weinstein, 74, remains incarcerated from a 2023 Los Angeles conviction, and sentencing on related counts could follow if prosecutors pursue the New York case again. Actress Jessica Mann testified during the trial, while Weinstein’s defense argued reasonable doubt and highlighted aspects of their interaction. The mistrial leaves the central charge unresolved and sets up the possibility of a fourth trial.
