The screenwriter of “Sweet Home Alabama” has been the subject of a sting operation accused of inappropriate behavior with a 15-year-old boy.
In a stunning turn of events, Hollywood screenwriter CJ Cox has been arrested in a controversial operation led by popular podcaster Vitali. The operation, which took place under the guise of a meeting with a 15-year-old boy, caught Cox engaging in conduct that raised serious concerns about his intent to act inappropriately with a minor.
The video, which shows Cox unaware he was being filmed, was shared online by user Shadow of Ezra on X (formerly Twitter). The post, accompanied by the following caption, “Hollywood screenwriter C. Jay Cocks… was exposed by streamer Vitaly in a shock operation,” quickly went viral, sparking outrage across social media platforms.
I faced and was exposed
In the video, Cox appears committed to the confrontation until Vitale and his team uncover the sting operation. Visibly startled and shaken, Cox quickly dressed and exited the site once he realized the extent of his exposure. The video, which has since been widely circulated, has sparked backlash and calls for accountability.
Public outrage on social media
The footage, viewed by thousands, sparked widespread condemnation. Social media users expressed their outrage, criticizing the alleged actions and asking how such behavior could continue unchecked. Many called for Cox to be held accountable, and the incident sparked intense discussions about the need for greater vigilance in the entertainment industry.
