Keanu Reeves is always seen as the saint of these days.
And every one of his actions is interpreted to fit this image.
He’s called Mr. No-Hands because – see the pictures – he doesn’t touch women directly.
And that’s what his admirers like to interpret as “wokeness.”
“He has such respect for women”.
But if you know what happened to him, you can interpret it quite differently.
In 2009, a perfect stranger took him to court and claimed that he was the father of her four (!) children.
In her lawsuit, she demanded the modest sum of $3 million per month in spousal support and (subsequently) $150,000 per month for the children.
They had grown up in the meantime.
It wasn’t until a year later that an Ontario judge finally dismissed the suit on the grounds that litigation was a waste of the “limited resources of the judiciary.”
The judge said the woman’s claims were so incredible that no judge in his right mind would have accepted them.
And a paternity test had shown that was not the father of the children. But the woman had argued that the test was invalid.
She had claimed that Reeves had sexual relations with her several times before, during and after their marriage, and even that he had been present at the birth of the children.
Reeves, on the other hand, had no idea who the woman was.
In her affidavit, the woman even claimed that Reeves used hypnosis and disguised himself to look like different people, including her ex-husband.
So.
And now if he doesn’t touch some woman who wants to take a picture with him, are we sure it’s “out of respect for all women.”?
I just suspect a healthy caution there.
