I think the full porn site got hacked... I don't really remember either, they did it really suddenly. I remember that McQueen took Ed on a get away vacation when the leak happened so that most of the escalating drama could be skipped, and he was hoping it would die down completely by the time they got back, but it did not. And that resulted in Ed being sharply cut off from Mcqueen. So from a readers pov everything really happened off screen
McQ is a brilliant writer....he turned down 3 major awards for that mainstream film and it was suspicious so that reporter...the one who hit on Ed in the subway..he investigated and found out McQ was Cleed.
I don't remember the website being hacked as well--that explains how sh!t got out on Ed... but that is separate from the above scandal.
How did the news of McQueen being the guy in the movie leak? I haven’t read this in a long time and I forgot
