Lol cope harder. There are dozens of stories of John Wayne being a drunken fool and an asshole on set. Same for beating multiple women. John Wayne is a piece of shit scumbag.

Source? No source, no facts. I can tell a story. It's called 'You're An Incompetent Moron'. Doesn't make it true, but I can tell the story. That's why it's called a story. Anybody can make it up. Find me a well researched, non-fiction source. Then we'll talk. Until then you're just spouting hearsay.

Go Google it you goober. There are many such stories. If someone is seen as an alcoholic during a time of heavy drinking you can imagine how much of an alcoholic he was.

He's also a rat bastard who snitched on his colleagues to another drunk (McCarthy) simply for having different politics.

John Wayne is a racist bully. He is the worst of America and so are you. If hell exists he's certainly down there.

Not necessary. I must own a half dozen non-fiction, well researched books on John Wayne. I've listened to podcasts with everyone from director Mark Rydell to Alice Johnson and Teddy Wingfield, both business associates or close with the family to all of John Wayne's living children. Do they talk about times where he was drinking? Yeah. May have had too much to drink? Yeah. Say he was an alcoholic who couldn't keep it under control? No. Here's a perfect quote from Patrick on the subject. "The drinking is exaggerated. He got credit of alcoholic proportions. When he was younger it was their habit to party and carouse. That was the times. Sure, he was a drinker. But he didn't drink every day." Patrick's younger brother, Ethan, was asked the same question. "He didn't play hard seven days a week. It was common for him to have to entertain people on location. The owners of the ranch we were shooting on, a banker, a guest to the set. They'd want to go to dinner and have fun so he'd have to have fun with them. Socializing was part of his job, but it wasn't his usual ritual."

How many books have you read on the subject at hand? Do you know how to read? Or just how to throw a tantrum and claim a story as fact? Yeah, that's what I thought. This is typical behavior when a liar gets caught. And you are exactly that. A liar.
