During a Jaws event in Massachusetts, actor Richard Dreyfuss allegedly made sexist and transphobic comments, causing audience members to walk out of the screening. The event, billed as "An Evening with Richard Dreyfuss + Jaws Screening," turned controversial when Dreyfuss reportedly shared his views on trans youth and the Academy Awards' inclusivity rules. The venue issued a statement apologizing for the incident and acknowledging that Dreyfuss' comments did not reflect their values of inclusivity and respect. This is not the first time Dreyfuss has faced backlash for his comments, as he previously criticized diversity requirements for the Oscars on a PBS series in 2023.
