"so I became an arsehole"

I jest, I jest. She's alright, just old and rich and opinionated.

And an asshole. She's not a pleasant woman but she did an enormous amount for black women across media in general, nevermind science fiction.

Avery Brooks also fits that bill quite well, unfortunately. He just isn't as public with his insanity

Avery Brooks also fits that bill

Any specifics about this? I tried a brief search but nothing obvious came up.

I'm curious too because I've definitely heard that he's a giant dick but never really looked into it. He did a great job with the Sisko and they even put some episodes in addressing racism in the modern world so too bad he's apparently a dick but oh well I guess.

Personal experience. He was screaming at some fans who went to say thank you for his work. I've heard other things from people who've met him and had similar experiences as well as people having worked with him. He's a bit bitchy about Star Trek now.
