Wolf cited on Twitter historical findings from a peer-reviewed article written by A.D. Which means … much of the premise of Wolf’s entire book is just false. Sweet pulled up his own research - news reports and prison records - showing the date that Thomas Silver was discharged.ĭeath recorded, he says, “was a category that was created in 1823 that allowed judges to abstain from pronouncing a sentence of death on any capital convict whom they considered to be a fit subject for pardon.” And then the blow: “I don’t think any of the executions you’ve identified here actually happened.”īefore Sweet delivered the punch, Wolf was audibly ready to speak about the “several dozen” similar executions she noted in her book, many of which rely on her completely wrong understanding of the term “death recorded.” But there is no historical evidence that shows anyone was ever executed for sodomy during the Victorian era, Sweet said on Twitter. “What is your understanding of what ‘death recorded’ means?” Wolf asked him on-air, mere moments after he had already explained to her how Old Bailey, London’s main criminal court up until 1913, defined it.
The boy was indicted for unnatural offense, guilty, death recorded.” Silver, as Sweet points out, was not executed. Sweet looks at the case of Thomas Silver, who, Wolf wrote in her book, “was actually executed for committing sodomy. There’s a shocking silence on-air after Sweet says he doesn’t think Wolf is right about the executions Outrages delves into. “Death recorded” means that a convict was pardoned for his crimes rather than given the death sentence.Įveryone listen to Naomi Wolf realize on live radio that the historical thesis of the book she's there to promote is based on her misunderstanding a legal term /a3tB77g3c1- Edmund Hochreiter May 23, 2019 But during the interview, broadcaster Matthew Sweet read to Wolf the definition of “death recorded,” a 19th-century English legal term. When she went on BBC radio on Thursday, Wolf, the author of Vagina and the forthcoming Outrages: Sex, Censorship, and the Criminalization of Love, probably expected to discuss the historical revelations she’d uncovered her book. It's no wonder the scene left such a big impression on Robbie.In the pantheon of nightmares, somewhere between “falling into an endless pit” and “back at high school but naked” is “going on national radio and learning, on-air, that the book you wrote and is to be published in two weeks is premised on a misunderstanding.” Naomi Wolf, unfortunately, is living that nightmare. Meanwhile, a pregnant Naomi is left to watch and worry. Over the course of 10 minutes, a sequence unfolds wherein Jordan, now extremely high, has to crawl his way back to his car, drive home, yell at an equally high Donnie for double-crossing him, and then save Donnie after he starts choking on a piece of ham. As the effects of the drug kick in, Jordan also realizes he's in serious trouble over his business dealings. Unfortunately, the Qualuudes he and Donnie (Jonah Hill) took that he believed were expired were, in fact, still active. I remember sitting there going, 'I will never, ever film a scene like this again.'"įor those folks who need their memories jogged, that once-in-a-lifetime scene - the Quaalude scene - occurs in the final act of "The Wolf of Wall Street." At this point in the movie, Jordan drives out to his country club to make an important call. She continued, "Definitely the Quaalude scene. "Every single scene was absolutely insane," Robbie replied when asked by The Daily Beast which scene was the wildest to commit to film. Your back is covered in a thousand red scratches.'"
"I said, 'What is it?' And they said, 'you look like you've been whipped a million times. "Maybe real money is a bit softer, but the fake money is like paper, and when I got up off the bed, I turned around to get my robe and everyone gasped," Robbie recalled during the interview.

One thing Robbie found out is that the texture of movie money is different from the real thing, and she found out what sort of damage such a difference can make with some shocking observations from people on the set.
If anyone is ever planning on having sex on top of a pile of cash: don't." In a 2017 interview with The Daily Beast, Robbie exclaimed, "I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money! It's not as glamorous as it sounds. Like most film productions, fake cash was used in "The Wolf of Wall Street," and as it turns out, the bills - produced by prolific movie moneymaker RJR Props (via CNN) - left Robbie with an unusual cautionary tale to tell.
