In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the infamous Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle case from the 1920s. Arbuckle, a comedic superstar earning a million dollars a year, saw his career implode following a Labor Day party in 1921 at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. The scandal centered around the tragic death of aspiring actress Virginia Rappe, who fell ill at the party and died a few days later. Arbuckle faced manslaughter charges, driven by accusations from Rappe's friend Maud Delmont, leading to three intense and highly publicized trials. Despite Arbuckle's eventual acquittal, his career and public image were irreparably damaged due to conflicting witness accounts, media sensationalism, and a societal backlash against Hollywood's perceived immorality. The episode also examines the intricate human dynamics and motives of key figures such as Delmont and Rappe's ex-fiancé, Henry Lerman. Ultimately, this case serves as a cautionary tale about the power of media, the complexity of justice, and the fragile nature of fame.00:00 Introduction to the Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle Case00:40 The Fateful Labor Day Party01:02 Virginia Rappe's Tragic Story01:30 Conflicting Accounts and Media Frenzy02:28 The Accusations Against Arbuckle05:26 The Trials and Legal Battles10:28 The Aftermath and Arbuckle's Struggle14:23 Lessons from the Arbuckle Scandal18:46 Final Thoughts and Upcoming Episodes Hosted on Acast.

Fatty Arbuckle was a star. He could act. He could sing. He could make an audience roar with laughter. By the 1910s, he was one of the highest paid actors, and among the most popular stars of silent films. It seemed like nothing could stop his shine. But then, following a weekend of partying at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, his friend Virginia Rappe died. It wasn’t immediately clear why Virginia died, but her friend supplied the answer: Virginia had been raped and killed by one of America’s most beloved stars. Then Kristin tells us about the ultimate old-timey kidnapping. If your parents ever warned you about taking candy from strangers, this is why. On July 1, 1874, four-year-old Charley Ross and his six-year-old brother Walter were playing in their front yard when two men pulled up in a horse-drawn carriage. The men offered to buy the boys candy and fireworks. Naturally, the boys jumped at the chance. The men took the boys on a long, winding ride. They stopped at a store, and gave Walter 25 cents to buy fireworks. But after Walter made his purchase, he came back outside to find that the men were gone. They’d taken Charley with them. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Charley Ross: Efforts to induce Westervelt to confess — he says, ‘search the Catholic Institutions,’” The Tennessean “Among the missing: Charley Ross,” by Jay Robert Nash for The Tampa Tribune “A notorious 19th century kidnapping in Brooklyn,” by Michael Pollak for The New York Times “‘JonBenet’ case of its time — 1874,” by Jeff Gammage for The Philadelphia Inquirer “Little Charley Ross,” The St. Albans Advertiser “The story of Charley Ross,” ushistory.org “The disappearance of Charley Ross,” by Steven Casale for The Lineup  In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Fatty Arbuckle and the Death of Virginia Rappe” by Denise Noe, The Crime Library “The Skinny on the Fatty Arbuckle Trial” by Gilbert King, Smithsonian “Roscoe Arbuckle” wikipedia.org

At a boozy party over Labor Day weekend 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, silent Hollywood’s superstar plus-size comedian, followed sometime actress Virginia Rappe into a hotel room. They were alone together for only a few minutes, but in that time, Rappe fell ill, and died several days later from her sickness. Arbuckle was tried for murder, and accused of rape in the newspapers. The story of the definitive sex-and-death scandal in early Hollywood history, which left a woman dead and effectively killed off a star comedian’s career, has been plagued with misinformation and distortions for nearly 100 years. Today we’ll closely examine Anger’s text to demonstrate how he implies both Arbuckle and Rappe’s guilt, and we’ll also use more recent scholarship on the case to try to suss out what really happened in that hotel room, and how the facts were distorted throughout Arbuckle’s three trials. This episode includes graphic descriptions of sexual violence.  Learn more about your ad choices.
