Does the Academy Deliberately Award Domestic Abusers?


14. John Singleton

John Singleton was nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for his 1991 gritty film Boyz n the Hood. Years later, he would plead “no contest” to physically and emotionally abusing an ex-girlfriend who remained unidentified. Singleton reportedly struck her repeatedly with his fist, grabbed her by the neck and choked her.

Years later, supermodel Tyra Banks claimed a former boyfriend had emotionally and physically abused her. She dated Singleton in the 90s, leading many people to believe he was the man who had assaulted her.
