"Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) headlined two fundraisers for her 2020 presidential campaign on Saturday, as the first Democratic candidate to hold official events aimed at the large pool of Los Angeles and showbiz donors.

Universal’s Jeff Shell and his wife Laura hosted Harris at their Beverly Hills home for an early evening reception, drawing a crowd that included Jeffrey Katzenberg, Fox Television Group’s Dana Walden, ICM Partners’ Chris Silbermann, Paramount’s Jim Gianopulos, Amazon Studios’ Jennifer Salke, manager Scooter Braun, political consultant Andy Spahn, Lionsgate’s Michael Burns and Jon Feltheimer, actress Eva Longoria, director Lee Daniels, and producer Dayna Bochco, according to attendees."

I wonder if these 'threats' were staged as well:

[2015] "Empire has millions of fans, but there are a few that show creator Lee Daniels can live without.

The filmmaker recently revealed that he and Jussie Smollett, who plays Terrence Howard's gay son Jamal Lyon, have received hate mail and even death threats from some who take issue with the show's gay plot lines."
