My God, I just noticed that it was today 90 years ago that Arbuckle was arrested. A strange coincidence. Very well done informative video by the way.

Look, there was no bottle. One of the men present saw Arbuckle putting ice on Virginia Rappe's abdomen to help with the pain from her ruptured bladder. Somehow that got transmuted in the press into him inserting a coke bottle into her vagina. This isn't funny; the poor girl died (likely as the result of a botched abortion and the high toxicity of the illegal alcohol they were drinking) and Arbuckle was wrongly accused of murder and had his life ruined. All because of an ambitious lawyer.

@spinout3 Same here, I really only knew the lurid details myself. Infact, on Friday night I was down with some friends and more or less twisted their arms to stick on BBC2. The second and I mean the SECOND Arbuckle's name was mentioned we were all glued. This was because we thought we'd hear all the sordid shit we've come to expect but I was blown away by Merton's other side of the story. Spent all day yesterday trawling the net for more details I'd never heard. Next weeks is the last one.
