Oof.

Actor James Woods, an avid Donald Trump supporter, took to Twitter on Oct. 21 to share an alarming letter that's supposedly being sent to Trump supporters all over the country.
"Dear Neighbor," the letter starts. "You have been identified by our group as being a Trump supporter. Your address has been added into our database as a target for when we attack should Trump not concede the election."
"We recommend that you check your home insurance policy and make that it is current and that it has adequate coverage for fire damage. You have been given a 'Fair Warning,'" the letter continues.
"Always remember, that it was 'you' that started this Civil War. Be prepared to face the severe consequences of your pre-emptive actions against democracy," the letter reads.
Who is James Woods?
Read on to find out more about James Woods, the 73-year-old actor and producer who has a seriously sketchy history with younger women.
James Woods criticized Call Me By Your Name, which sparked some serious discussions about his past.
If you don't remember, in 2017, James tweeted his thoughts about the movie Call Me By Your Name, which was, at the time, a new movie about the romance between a 24-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy.
And let's just say the reaction is probably not what he had hoped.
Armie Hammer is the star of the film, and like most good people, he felt morally obligated to remind Woods of his own previously creepy transgressions. But it doesn't end there.
Amber Tamblyn added some much-needed fuel to the fire and tweeted: "James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. 'I'm 16' I said. 'Even better' he said."
And just to make sure the world — AKA people on Twitter — knew she was serious, Tamblyn then tweeted the following evidence:
Of course, Woods said the story was a lie in a reply to a tweet from a fan, but evidence that the 73-year-old actor has a thing for young girls becomes pretty undeniable when you put it all together.
And I don't know whether or not to say "you're welcome" or "I'm sorry," so here you go. Here's the history of creepy incidents, girls James Woods has dated, and weird quotes that seem to back up Amber Tamblyn's claims that he likes younger women.
Who is James Woods's wife?
James Woods is not currently married, although he was previously married twice before.
He was married to Kathyrn Morrison from 1980 - 1983, and Sarah Owen from 1989 - 1990.
Woods appears to still be dating Kristen Bauguess, who he started seeing in 2013 when she was 20 and he was 66. She was arrested for drug possession just a few weeks before they first publicly stepped out, she has like a dozen names, and when they first started dating, they were way too cutesy for comfort on Twitter.
I respect the fact that everyone has the right to date whoever they want (even if they're 46 years their senior), but one can't help but mention that she could almost be his granddaughter.
Before that, he dated Ashley Madison — beginning when she was 19.
Do you see a pattern yet? Woods met Madison when she was 19, and they dated for a whopping seven years before breaking up.
The even creepier part of their love story is that Madison is the daughter of one of James' golfing buddies — and he first met her when she was five.
James Woods has been open about his personal life in the past.
In an interview in 2000, Woods said the following cringe-worthy thing about a time he tried Viagra with his girlfriend: "We had sex for six hours, 37 minutes. I'm surprised I didn't die of a heart attack."
James Woods's politics got him dropped by his agent.
As one of Hollywood's most outspoken conservatives, it seems like his agent was fed up with James Woods. The actor claims he was "dropped" from his agents because of politics in 2018.
"It's the 4th of July and I'm feeling patriotic. I don't want to represent you anymore. I mean I can go on a rant but you know what I'd say," Ken Kaplan, his agent at the time, wrote in an email on July 4, 2018.
Woods shared a screenshot of the email on Twitter, writing, "Dear Ken, I don't actually. I was thinking if you're feeling patriotic, you would appreciate free speech and one's right to think as an individual. Be that as it may, I want to thank you for all your hard work and devotion on my behalf. Be well."
He dated actress Heather Graham in 1992.
Woods dated Graham when he was (shocking) 23 years older than her, and during one of their last conversations, when she told him she didn't want to get married or start a family until she was 40, he replied, "How do you know you'll get the same attention from men when you're that age?"
Graham savagely questioned, "Oh, you just like me for my blond hair, my blue eyes and my big t--s?" And when Woods took too long to respond, she left. Smart move.
He also talked about an inappropriate encounter he had with a 15-year-old Melanie Griffith.
For this, I'll just let Woods do the talking:
"I've known her since she was 15 years old. You cannot even imagine what she looked like then. When she was 16, she said to me: 'Oh, I have this boyfriend,' and I asked, 'Does your mom approve of it?' and she said, 'She'd better. I've been f***ing him since I was 14.' I thought, 'Here's a rather rare character.' It was always sort of destined that we were going to be together somehow."
Just... eww.
And how about this creepy way he described a young Winona Ryder — and pretty much all young girls?
Here's the Q&A with Woods and his interviewer:
"Winona Ryder is supernaturally beautiful. She has a poetic beauty. I don't know what the circumstances would be of my doing a scene with someone of her age or her look, though.
Q: There's a not-quite-ready-to-grow-up quality about her, almost childishness.
A: You say that as if it's a bad thing. [Laughing] I'm joking. I see what you're saving, but I think she's a charlotte russe — a chocolate éclair with a gooey center."
James Woods's Twitter account is a Trump-lover's paradise.
