James Woods Threatens Poker Pro on Twitter
by EG
James Woods, who appeared in the movie Videodrome a very long time ago but who has since retired from acting, is well-known for his provocative, outrageous behavior online, but this week, the turmoil surrounding his antics has ratcheted up. After Weeds actress Elizabeth Perkins appeared to accuse Woods of sexual harassment, professional poker player Daniel Negreanu compared Woods to politician Roy Moore, who is currently being accused of inappropriate conduct with minors.
Negreanu was referring to an allegation by actress Amber Tamblyn, who says that Woods propositioned her when she was just 16 years old. The 70-year-old Woods denied the allegation, although he has a documented history of dating women who are barely out of their teens.
Woods lashed out at Negreanu on Twitter, where Woods has often made homophobic, Islamophobic and otherwise incendiary comments.

James Woods found himself in a Twitter tussle Tuesday night, after Canadian poker pro Daniel Negreanu compared the “Once Upon a Time in America” actor to scandal-clouded Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Woods didn’t mince words, calling out Negreanu as a “cowardly piece of s—.”
Say it like a man to my face, you cowardly piece of shit. Say it as a statement of fact, so If you have any money left, you might actually be worth suing, unlike these other losers with no money and big mouths. And how old was Evelyn Ng when you were her “mentor,” you hypocrite? https://t.co/5YUYPIY8XE

The actor lashed out at Negreanu after he tweeted a link to an article about “Weeds” actress Elizabeth Perkins touting a sign reading “James Woods #MeToo” at a march to support victims of sexual assault and harassment over the weekend.
“Add James Woods to the list of men accused of chasing 16 year old girls,” Negreanu wrote. “He appears to have a lot in common with Roy Moore. What is wrong with these people? Disgusting. Do I believe these women? 1000% yes.”
The tweet prompted a sharp response from Woods.
“Say it like a man to my face, you cowardly piece of sh–,” Woods replied to the tweet. “Say it as a statement of fact, so If you have any money left, you might actually be worth suing, unlike these other losers with no money and big mouths. And how old was Evelyn Ng when you were her ‘mentor,’ you hypocrite?”
The last sentence was a reference to Negreanu’s fellow Canadian poker pro Evelyn Ng, who Negreanu dated and helped develop her poker technique [and who is just one year younger than Negreanu].
