Antonio Sabato Jr. claims that he’s been bullied endlessly in the days following his appearance at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Not only online, but by Hollywood directors who have blacklisted him. On July 18, the actor opened the RNC in Cleveland with a speech about why he’s supporting Donald Trump, calling him the “unity” candidate, who would secure borders and protect citizens. Sabato Jr. reached out to Variety to share what he says happened next.

"I think this country allows you freedom of speech. Anybody should be allowed to say whatever they want. When you’re in my business, you can’t talk about [conservative] politics. You just can’t. You’re attacked viciously in a way that I’ve never been attacked before.

On Twitter, there’s been name calling, and celebrities attacking me. That’s fine. I see it, but I don’t read it. I block them and delete them and move on. There’s so much negativity you can be taken into that. But I’ve also heard from celebrities: “If he can do it, I want to speak my mind too.” They are fed up with the way this country has been running and by all these lies."

Buncha whiny bullshit, IMHO.

Here’s a quick list of the *liberal* power brokers of Hollywood:

Robert Downey Jr.—Conservative and top grossing actor in Hollywood
Clint Eastwood—uh, huh
Sylvester Stallone—has three top grossing films over the last five years
Jerry Bruckheimer—Major hollywood producer of action films
Arnold Schwarzenegger—Was a governor once, I think
James Woods, Jon Voigt, Gary Senise, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, Adam Sandler, Robert Duvall, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ... and the list goes on.

This guy fucked up and said some stupid shit, and now he wants to whine about how people are noticing how dumb he is. Too bad, dummy. Back to daytime TV for you...if you're lucky.

1. who?

[StrictlyRockers]

10. I know, right? I had never heard of this guy before.

Before he managed to say something so extra stupid that he got himself noticed for it.

He got noticed for his small brain, not for his acting ability. You can't fix stupid. Now he's radioactive and no one will touch him. You just embarrassed yourself on a national stage, buddy. Welcome to the real world, the world of reality, not fantasy. Enjoy your stay.

[still_one]

11. Exactly

[marble falls]

13. Heck, we hardly hear too much from half that list.

[Raster]

2. Just a thought, but could you not be getting the roles you want because you are a lousy actor?

[misterhighwasted]

3. Did he think supporting Trump would be the rebirth of his fame?

Too bad he chose the wrong guy.
Suck it up.
I think he was on his way to being a nobody before he spouted off.

[niyad]

9. he wasn't on his way--he had already arrived.

[bananakabob]

4. It wasn't the support for Trump that did it.

It was the fact that you're clearly an idiot.

[niyad]

5. oh, tony, you whiny little *****, nobody cares what you say, or think. as for not being

able to talk politics as an actor--what a complete load of bs. think clint eastwood (yeck), think ahhh-nold, think many, many actors, directors, etc (all, of course, more widely known, and more talented than your ignorant self)

you are a no-talent hack backing an insane person. period.

[Salviati]

7. "Hollywood is persecuting me because of my conservative beliefs"

Is the cry of the talentless hack who is devastated by the realization that they're never going to break out of the C class ranks.

I wasn't aware of RDJ's and The Rock's conservative leanings, but that's probably because they both actually have talent, and don't need to spout crazy shit to try to get some of that wingnut welfare cash.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. RDJ doesn't claim to be Dem or GOP

He just says being on prison changed his political views, without going into any details. He is also very happy with the lifestyle his Iron Man millions have provided. But then he gave $40K to Obama in 2012. So who knows really.

[lunamagica]

8. I don't think he ever made it out of daytime...and that was like 20 years ago

other than that, a couple of Hallmark movies, underwear ads..but now he has an excuse for being a failure, never mind that his "career" never took off, and his speech at the RNC was just last month.

[left-of-center2012]

12. He used to be famous for his looks

Now he's an aging right winger, well past his expiration date.

[Oneironaut]

15. Ok - Help me here...

A - There has never been any evidence that Obama is a Muslim.
B - People who say that do it to insinuate that Muslims are "less than."
C - Employers in any profession (acting too) want stable, intelligent people.

So, if you make yourself look unstable and stupid, is it really a surprise that nobody wants to hire you? Where's the mystery?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

16. Dipshit.

You got the freedom to say it...no Secret Service coming to your door, amIrite?

Everybody else got freedom too--to react to asscarbuncles.

[BlueMTexpat]

17. I am only recc'ing this to

emphasize "washed up soap actor" - who is also as dumb as a rock.

[heaven05]

18. good

[GeorgeGist]

19. Who'd a thunk ..

that being an A S S H O L E has consequences.
