Rather, he claimed in a recent interview that it came after he was fired from ABC\u2019s \u201cScoundrels\u201d or refusing to do certain scenes that involved sexual acts that he said violated his Christian faith.<\/p>\n<p>Watch him discuss that here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NEAL MCDONOUGH Shares Being Blackballed After Refusing to Do a Sex Scene #insideofyou #hollywood\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nhLHrni5_B0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>As you can see in the clip, his faith wasn\u2019t weakened by his being punished for rater. Rather, it was that immense faith in the Almighty that kept him going after he lost almost everything. In his words<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI remember falling to my knees and saying, \u2018God, why have you forgotten about me? Why am I being punished so much?\u2019 And as soon as those words came out of my mouth, I realized what self-absorbed questions those were.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGod has given me so much. We all experience challenges in our lives. I should be grateful \u2013 and thankful \u2013 for all the blessings I\u2019m given.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That isn\u2019t the only time he\u2019s spoken about his refusal to do certain things as an actor. He told Fox News much the same thing in 2020,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/project-blue-book-neal-mcdonough-faith-no-sex-scenes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI won\u2019t mention the Lord\u2019s name in vain, and then I won\u2019t kiss another woman. Sex scenes aren\u2019t in it for me. And I think, gosh, there are enough sex scenes out there, and me being in my fifties, I\u2019m not sure if anyone wants to see me doing that stuff anyway, but it\u2019s a comfort level. I\u2019m not very comfortable doing that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And now, after recovering from being blacklisted for his faith and determination to live it out in public, Neil is back and fighting back by producing his own film. Speaking on that in an interview with the Christian Post, he said that he and his wife Ruve, a South African model, created a movie that will give the glory to God. In his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/hollywood-villain-neal-mcdonough-launching-film-company-to-glorify-god.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">words<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNow I have that opportunity because Ruve and I are doing it ourselves, and are so blessed to have companies that support us and back us and want to make more films and TV shows, or reality shows or any kind of show that gives glory to Him.\u00a0<\/em><em>Not just to make a movie, but to do a movie that actually gives Him glory \u2014 that\u2019s our goal. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re after, and we\u2019re very fortunate to be able to do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The film he produced is called \u201cLeft Behind: Rise of the Antichrist.\u201d It was a huge success on opening weekend, as Robert Price, Chief Executive Officer of Amcomri, which helped McDonough and Kevin Sorbo make the film, said in a statement. In his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amcomrientertainmentinc.com\/news\/left-behind-rise-of-the-antichrist-shines-on-opening-weekend-with-top-10-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">words<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAn Opening Weekend Box Office in excess of US$3 million is ahead of our expectations and is testament to the combined efforts of the Producer and Amcomri teams and their ability to execute an end-to-end lifecycle strategy. \u2019Left Behind \u2013 Rise of the Antichrist\u2019 is Amcomri\u2019s largest production to date and we are excited to see theaters all over North America requesting extended runs following the positive response from theatregoers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c\u2018Left Behind \u2013 Rise of the Antichrist\u2019 highlights Amcomri\u2019s strategic ambitions in the control of a fully diversified content library all the way from development to production and distribution. We are excited by the early response from major U.S. retailers placing orders for the DVD version of the movie, and as our distribution teams now commence international and digital sales, this movie is a clear reflection of our progress in expanding our production and distribution capabilities across global markets, including North America.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As McDonough and Sorbo succeed with that Christian film, \u201cYellowstone\u201d is drawing to an end. That\u2019s because Paramount is cutting ties with the show\u2019s star, Kevin Costner. We reported on that on The American Tribune this morning,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theamericantribune.com\/yellowstone-to-cut-ties-with-kevin-costner-creators-negotiating-with-major-actor-according-to-report\/\">saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/02\/yellowstone-show-end-franchise-continues-matthew-mcconaughey-1235251400\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deadline<\/a>\u00a0report says that the duo of Paramount and Sheridan are planning to end the story of Yellowstone in a spectacular way, before transitioning into even more spinoffs than have already been aired. One such spinoff has even been rumored to include Matthew McConaughey.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A Paramount Network spokesperson gave a statement to Deadline in which they seemed unwilling to confirm or deny the report,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/02\/yellowstone-show-end-franchise-continues-matthew-mcconaughey-1235251400\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe have no news to report.
