Mark Ruffalo & HBO sued for fire that allegedly ruined homes, created toxic fumes

Mark Ruffalo, HBO, and the team behind the miniseries I Know This Much Is True have been sued for causing a fire that had broken out at the New York car dealership where the cast and crew were filming. Although no one was seriously injured or worse because of the blaze, the damage of the fire may have had everlasting effects on some people.

Quote:

The lawsuit claims the production stored kerosene, heating oil, and other flammable materials on site. They also said the aftermath was not cleaned up by the production team. The location was described as an “uncovered and unabated debris pile, toxin spill” that exposes them to ‘ wind-driven dust and gaseous dispersion.’

The owners of the dealership previously sued Calling Grace Productions, the company behind the series, for the fire. There is no indication whether that has been resolved.

I have never been a fan of Ruffalo's. He comes across as a pig on social media for doing dirty habits on social media for politics and now it seems he is a slob for leaving a huge mess behind. If he was responsible for this, then he is a hypocrite for being such an environmentalist advocate and not cleaning up a mess that caused damage to people's properties and the area surrounding them. The fact that nothing was done after three years is also disappointing.

I don't know anything about Ruffalo's politics or any of this (not even what this show is supposed to be, sounds like a Bill Nye-esque rip), but based on what you say, ranger_scout, he reminds me of the people who are screaming that we need to ban plastic yet then go and litter the streets and oceans with cloth masks.

For once I agree with Family Guy.

Never liked him, He is one of the many douches in Hollywood.

When you look at the footage from this video, it really does prove that he is a hypocrite.

He’s actually pretty good casting for Bruce Banner. You want a sort of pathetic, weasel of a guy to play Bruce. Makes the contrast with Hulk as an assured, confident, straightforward character more interesting.

Like, yeah, this guy causes a lot of damage, but he’s somehow more likable. It’s sad, but I like it. Banner is a tragic character.
