Brendan Fraser won't attend the 2023 Golden Globes if nominated: My mother didn't raise a hypocrite. Brendan Fraser isn't interested in the return of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

After the Los Angeles Times exposé on the Golden Globes in 2021, the fallout was swift, and the ceremony was dropped by NBC.

 The investigative piece revealed that the HFPA had no black journalists among its 87 members, surfacing myriad other accusations.

The Globes will soon return to NBC on January 10, 2023, through a one-year agreement with the broadcaster, Brendan Fraser won't be in the audience.

 The “Whale” star confirmed he won't attend the buzzy awards event leading up to the Academy Awards.

 I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” Fraser said in a GQ cover story.

 Fraser said “No, I won't participate.

My mother didn't raise a hypocrite.

 You can call me a lot of things, but not that.

The actor alleged in 2018 that Philip Berk, a former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, groped and assaulted him at a luncheon in 2003.

 Fraser revealed that he was still scared for the repercussions of coming forward.

 At the time of going public, the HFPA proposed Fraser sign a joint statement saying “Despite that it was concluded that Mr.

 Berk inappropriately touched him.

The evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.

 Berk remained a member of the HFPA until he was fired from the organization in April 2021 after the publication of an article called Black Lives Matter a racist hate movement.

I knew that they'd close their ranks,” Fraser said of coming forward.

I knew they'd kick the can down the road.

 I knew they'd get ahead of the story.

 I knew that I didn't have any future with that system as it was.

 I don't know what they're going to do.

 I don't know,” he shared.

 If the HFPA reached out following Fraser’s #MeToo allegations, it would be my responsibility to take a look at it and make a decision at that time.

 I don't know what's the word I'm looking for?

I would like some gesture of making medicine out of poison.

 I don't know what that is.

 But that would be my hope.

 But it's not about me.
