Using Shawn Levy’s coverage and other public reporting, we explain the key moments that led to their bitter split, the lawsuits, and the industry fallout that followed. You’ll get a clear, easy-to-follow timeline of events, what was alleged by each side, and how those choices shaped both careers.
We keep the facts front and center: what Locke said, what Eastwood’s camp responded, and what court filings and interviews revealed at the time.
