celeb news Mark Ruffalo appearance cancelled by legal event over Palestine support

[GraceRandolph]

Mark Ruffalo was set to speak at MTMP, a conference for lawyers and their paralegals to discuss the ins and outs of class action lawsuits, etc.

The event's organizers sent out a statement to the attendees this week saying Mark had been invited to speak at the conference after playing an environmental activist/attorney in the movie "Dark Waters" back in 2019 -- which touched on a lot of the things they already do in the real world ... so they wanted to have him show up and speak to the same issues.

Ruffalo, an environmental activist himself, was set to be a big-time guest for the conference, but the event said this was before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and more importantly, before Ruffalo's very public support of Palestine.

The organizers of the MTMP conference say they didn't want the event to be overshadowed by the war in the Middle East. "We understand that the Israeli-Hamas war is a critically important issue to most of our MTMP family. The feelings we all have deserve to be discussed. However, I do not want the good meaning of our conference to get consumed by that discussion." Full statement below:

Environmental destruction and the military industrial complex go hand in hand. Piss poor excuse for a cancellation.

Indeed — their statement sounds neutral but they just cancelled him and don't want to admit it.

He's 56 and aging naturally. I know that's a foreign concept for a lot of people on here.

looks like his portrayal of a lawyer in Poor Things was a better fit for this event.

If everyone else can comment on his apperance so can I. You will continue to have no say on my choice of words or when I use them. Toughtitty

You are correct, it's not my responsibility to collect the trash but I can do it anyway and you have no say on my choice of actions

Mark Ruffalo is a legend.

Is he still shadowbanned on the free speech platform formally known as twitter?
