Recently, news came out that once acclaimed screenwriter Roberto Orci mostly known for the Star Trek films during the aughts, has been faced with a countersuit filed by his estranged wife, actress Adele Heather Taylor.
The big twist is prior to this suit, was that it was Orci who first filed a lawsuit against his wife in June over accusations of abuse.
Taylor alleges that she has been the “target of Orci’s violent conduct” dating back to March 2018.
She accuses Orci of “abusive behavior” which includes sexual assault, physical assault, verbal and emotional abuse. Taylor also cited an incident when Orci bruised and belittled her.
Taylor alleges that in May 2022, the Screenwriter and Showrunner, chased her around their Los Angeles home before pinning her on the ground while threatening to rape her. The following month, he allegedly assaulted her a second time, while telling her, “You enjoy being raped.”
Damn...
Taylor said that she was arrested for domestic abuse in 2020 when Orci called the police when she tried to defend herself after he "allegedly "attacked her.
She was later bailed out by her estranged husband who mind you, admitted on tape that the arrest was “intended to destroy Adele’s credibility and dissuade her from reporting his ongoing abuse to the authorities,” according to her lawsuit.
Just when most of you thought Jonathan Majors had domestic problems which some of it was exaggerated to the point of ruining his career. But Orci if the allegations are true, should be faced with even more scrutiny and his career put on hold....oh, wait he hasn't be relevant since that El Ray series Matador. Aside from Star Trek Orci’s prior credits include Fringe, Sleepy Hollow, Now you See Me, Cowboys and Aliens and how can I forget the abomination that was the Transformers movies? Y'know the ones with those racist robots?
Anyway, I remember Orci in the Ain't it Cool News talkbacks coming off like a smug arrogant creep just like the site’s owner who was also accused of Sexual assault in 2017. Turds of a feather?
Mr. Orci has made a few controversial comments over the years one in particular is how orci who is Mexican-American, equated Mr. Spock to a Mexican Immigrant thus referring to the iconic vulcan as "Mr. Spic."
Whether or not, the allegations against him are true, or one of them were pulling a "Karen," the fact is, Roberto Orci is done an done. Stick a fork in it!
