George Clooney and Grant Heslovs Smokehouse Pictures will produce a docuseries about a decades-long abuse scandal in the athletic department at Ohio State University.
The series, which hasnt found an outlet yet, is based on an October 2020 Sports Illustrated story by Jon Wertheim, which detailed a long list of allegations against former Ohio State sports doctor Richard Strauss and university officials lack of response. Sports Illustrated Studios and 101 Studios are producing alongside Smokehouse Pictures.
This article uncovers the most widespread sexual abuse scandal in the history of American higher education. It is a story about power, abuse, enabling and the hierarchy of college sports that had been concealed for far too long, said Wertheim, who will be an executive producer of the series. Because these courageous men made the decision to remain silent no longer, we can finally begin to hold the abuser, and those who were complicit in their silence, accountable for their actions and inactions. With the help of 101 Studios, [SI owner] Authentic Brands Group and Smokehouse Pictures, their voices and stories harrowing as they are will be amplified.
Said Clooney and Heslov in a statement, Were very pleased to partner with 101 Studios and Sports Illustrated in bringing this devastating and tragic story to light.
Wertheims story includes an account from former Ohio State wrestler (and UFC champion) Mark Coleman about Strauss alleged sexual abuse and administration of steroids to athletes. Coleman also alleges that Rep. Jim Jordan, then an Ohio State assistant wrestling coach and now a U.S. congressman, knowingly ignored Strauss abuse.
..............................
Its enormously important that we continue to shine a light on this ongoing, painful story and further explore its wide-ranging effects said Marc Rosen, president of entertainment at Authentic Brands Group. We are lucky to be able to tap into the exceptional journalism of Sports Illustrateds Jon Wertheim, and we are incredibly proud and humbled to bring even more awareness to his investigation.

Gym Jordan and Brett Kavanaugh. How ironic that Jordan is still defending sexual assault and rapists.
