Salacious Variety ‘Megalopolis’ Video Claims False, Says Rayna Menz, The Extra Shown With Francis Coppola

EXCLUSIVE: Our sister publication Variety last Friday published for clicks what it called an exclusive video of Francis Ford Coppola kissing Megalopolis extras, along with crew members who detailed what they called unprofessional behavior on set.

The story did not get much traction, though it caused pain for the filmmaker: it broke and he found out about the story as he was on his way to join his incoming children and relatives as they were gathering for a family memorial for Eleanor Coppola, director of the iconic documentary Heart of Darkness, to whom FFC was married for more than 60 years.

Now, the extra in that pseudo-salacious video reveal, Rayna Menz, has come forward with a complete denial that Coppola misbehaved at all during those scenes.
