C Jay Cox, the acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter known for his works on Sweet Home Alabama and Latter Days, has found himself at the centre of a scandal following his involvement in a sting operation that accused him of inappropriate behaviour with a minor. The incident, which was orchestrated by a popular streamer named Vitaly, has sparked significant controversy and left the entertainment industry reeling. 

Posing as a 15-year-old, Vitaly lured Cox to a location under the pretence of a meeting. Unaware that he was being recorded, Cox allegedly made inappropriate remarks and gestures, which confirmed the suspicions of the operation. Once confronted on camera, Cox appeared shocked and distressed as he quickly tried to leave the scene.

The footage showed Cox being confronted by Vitaly and his team, who had posed as a minor to lure him into a meeting. The video quickly went viral, attracting widespread attention and sparking significant controversy across both social media and the entertainment industry.
